Franck Mélane de TamTam Pagaie

Guadeloupe National Park

"I was offered the opportunity to present the activity of canoeing to schools and from there I trained."

The discovery of kayaking was an opportunity for Franck Mélane. During a period of inactivity, he was asked to discover this economic and ecological activity to the school public. As time went by, he began to train to be able to make it his activity.

At the same time, he also developed his knowledge in biology, a field he is passionate about, and more particularly on the ecosystems of the marine environment and the mangrove.

Committed to the promotion of sustainable and ecological tourism, he created his company TamTam Pagaie in 2005 and offers kayak tours in the Grand-Cul-de Sac Marin.

During your excursions you can venture into the heart of the mangrove and see it differently, you can also meander in the different labyrinths in the shade of mangroves. Sail on the shallows and enjoy the marine biodiversity: starfish, sea urchins, sea grass, marvel at the return of birds on the islets or swim near the islet La Biche during a stop.
