Description
Your English-speaking guide will meet you at the agreed meeting point and set off on your land tour to Martinique.
In the minibus, together with a maximum of 18 people, you leave the port city of Fort-de-France and first drive to the famous Sacré-Coeur de Balata. The church is a small replica of the Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre, the famous landmark of Paris. Look at the building in its splendor and feel – in the middle of the Caribbean – shortly after Paris. From here you have a wonderful view of the island’s capital Fort-de-France.
Then continue your journey to the northern part of the island. The famous panoramic route Route de la Trace crosses directly the green rainforest, allowing you to admire the tropical landscape of Martinique. A short photo stop on the Alma River will allow you to admire the lush and green landscape. Then you reach the waterfall “Saut Gendarme”. The clear water and exotic plants of the rainforest create a beautiful image. Enjoy the moment to soak up the special atmosphere
Then head to the Depaz rum distillery to learn more about how the delicious rum is made on the estate. Of course you also have the opportunity to taste or buy the local rum during a rum tasting.
Next, continue to the seaside town of Saint-Pierre, located at the foot of the Mont Pelée volcano. You will visit the ruins of the city, which was destroyed by an eruption of the volcano about 120 years ago. Follow in the footsteps of the past and get an idea of the extent to which the city was affected, which today is again an attractive tourist destination due to its inviting backdrop.
Finally, head to the small community of Le Carbet, known for its black sand. It also offers impressive views of the Mont Pelée volcano. Take a look at the calm, clear waters and enjoy the imposing scenery as you stroll along the dark beach and relax a bit. If you like, you can also take a refreshing dip in the sea.
Together with your guide, you will return to your cruise ship on time after an exciting day.
We wish you an unforgettable shore excursion in Fort-de-France!
