Fully vaccinated international travelers planning to visit the French overseas territory must present proof of vaccination and proof of a negative PCR or antigen test less than 72 hours (for a PCR test) or less than 48 hours (for an antigen test) prior to boarding and arrival in Guadeloupe.
U.S. visitors must also present a sworn statement they do not have symptoms of COVID-19 nor have had contact with someone with a confirmed case of COVID-19. Vaccinated visitors from the U.S. will not be subject to quarantine.
In addition to the protocols for vaccinated travelers, unvaccinated travelers will need to "present a compelling reason as to why they are traveling to the Guadeloupe islands" and will be subject to a mandatory seven-day quarantine, according to Guadeloupe Islands Tourist Board officials.
Several Guadeloupe properties are offering special packages following the destination's reopening to visitors. La Creole Beach & Spa is offering 10 percent off all of its island properties for bookings made through October 15, 2021. Club Med La Caravelle is offering 45 percent off published rates for bookings made by August 31, 2021, for travel through February 18, 2022.

If the flight is canceled by Air France, customers may postpone their trip, request a full ticket refund or request a credit voucher, which is refundable if not used.
