Pointe-à-Pitre by tuk-tuk, then drinks on the Festibar
While the boats come in, the city celebrates. The Arrivals Tour takes you around in open electric golf carts and tuk-tuks with a guide who knows Pointe-à-Pitre inside out: street art, history, markets, the Darse. Then the Festibar takes over: a pedal-powered rolling bar for up to 15 people, to raise a glass with friends.
