When to go
The temperature is warm, around 27°C, all year round.
The best time to visit Guadeloupe is during the dry season, which runs from late January to late April. The other months are rainier. Hurricanes sometimes hit the island in September-October.
Time difference
The time in Guadeloupe is GMT-4. So, when it is 12noon in London and Dublin, it is 7 or 8am in Port-de-Prince depending on the season.
Documents
European Union nationals are required to hold a valid passport.
An international driving licence is mandatory to rent a car, motorbike or 80cm3 scooter.
Health
No vaccinations are compulsory, except for passengers travelling from countries where yellow fever or cholera is endemic.
Malaria and bilharzia have been eradicated so there is no particular heath risk.
Take the usual first-aid kit: sun cream, painkillers, disinfectant, plasters and mosquito repellent.
Travel insurance is advisable (automatically provided by some bank cards).
