Arrival to Guadeloupe…
You are expected to arrive in Guadeloupe (Pointe a Pitre International Airport) on the Air Caraibes flight TX 540 at 13h 25 local time (19h25 Paris time). Guadeloupe is 6h behind metropolitan France.
For all those of you who are having EU sim cards, your plan will be valid as it is in your home country. Pay attention not to connect to the networks from the nearby islands, as then an extra EU roaming will be activated. Inside the terminal there is free wireless.
Once out from the airplane you will go through custom and passport/ID card and vaccine/test control. Ensure that you have all the papers that are required for entrance, inclusive of all your vaccination documents, if you don’t have the EU Green Pass.
The last step is to pick up your luggage and get out of the terminal building, where Ride In 971 Team Members will organize your transfer to the Ride In Youth Center. We are expecting that you all will be out at around 15h30 and then in the Youth Center at around 17h approximately. The Youth Center is 20km from the Airport, but expect heavy traffic.
Very important:
KEEP YOUR BOARDING PASSES from all flights you did to reach Guadeloupe.
In Guadeloupe-where you will stay?
Guadeloupe, a French overseas region, is an island group in the southern Caribbean Sea. Resembling a butterfly, its 2 largest islands are separated by the Salée River. Hilly Grande-Terre Island has long beaches and sugarcane fields. On Basse-Terre Island, Parc National de la Guadeloupe encompasses Carbet Falls and the volcano La Grande Soufrière. Smaller islands include Marie-Galante and La Désirade.
The youth center that Ride In manages is located in Grande Terre (1014 Route du 14 Fevrier 1952, Blanchet 97111 Morne à l’Eau).
The participants will be accommodated in shared rooms or bungalows (10, 6, 3 or 2 people per room) & toilets are shared.
The youth center can host 32 people. The accommodation is quite simple so please don’t expect hotel or luxury conditions. More info here.
NOTE: Please take your towels and shampoo with you. Also, bring any medication that you use.
Since we’re sharing a common space in Guadeloupe for 6 days, we expect everyone to contribute to making it a successful and lively experience, indeed some cleaning is required for the common areas. There will be a division, where each group is responsible for a specific day’s care task.
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will be arranged by Ride In at the youth center or at the venue, when we will be organising activities outside. Please feel this form, so we can ensure we know in case of allergies, intolerance or similar.
The Youth Center is surrounded by green area and it also has a domestic farm. We ask you to act respectful towards the nature & towards the animals and belongings at the property. The Youth Center is plastic free place, so ensure that you have your reusable water bottle with you.
As we will be dividing often in small groups and we will be doing interviews around the Island, please if you have one, bring your driving license with you.

The participant also needs to fully respect the health protocol imposed by the authorities at the time of the YE. These safety measures will be introduced on arrival at the venue.
