Martinique
North or south – two different islands
Martinique is French in a way no other Caribbean island quite is, and it splits neatly in two. The north is volcanic and green: Mont Pelée looming over Saint-Pierre, the town it destroyed in 1902, the rainforest road through Morne Rouge, the botanical gardens at Balata and the banana plantations on the Atlantic side. Our island tour north follows that route, with the ruins of Saint-Pierre and a rum distillery along the way.
The south is drier and flatter, and it is where the beaches are. The island tour south runs down to Les Anses-d’Arlet and Sainte-Anne, past Diamond Rock and the Savane des Esclaves, with white sand, calm water and a seafood lunch built into the day.
Fort-de-France, where your ship docks, is worth an hour either way for the Schœlcher library and the covered market. Every Martinique excursion is private, with an English-speaking guide, an air-conditioned vehicle and a return to the ship in good time. Choose your Martinique tour below, or tell us what you would like to see and how long you have and we will put the route together.
Our Martinique shore excursions explore the Flower Island volcano, rainforest and beaches.
