Reviewed By KentishMan56 - Deal, United Kingdom

On our cruise we visited several botanical Gardens on different Islands, but this was our favourite. Very well kept, well labelled displays, fantastic colours, great views (esp. from the - very safe - wooden suspended bridge), and humming bird feeders always busy with beautiful birds.

Benoit est un passionné de la mer et de son environnement qu’il respecte contrairement à d’autres sociétés qui se foutent totalement des dauphins et de leur bien être !

Beyond The Beach

Beyond the beach offer to eat with locals, shore excursions, tours and activities, in order to avoid tourist traps, to live unforgettable experiences and to meet people.

Reviewed By michelle j - Bellmore, New York

Booked the half day Yole Boat sailing tour through TripAdvisor. Tour was advertised as a half day, but we were on the water less than two hours. Captain spoke no English, and I had no idea what I was doing. I had no way of understanding his instructions or knowing how to ask for help if I felt unsafe. The activity was fun but fearing for my safety was not.

Distillerie la Favorite

Reviewed By RobertBurr - Miami

It's going back in time at least a hundred years. The plantation, close to the city, features hundreds of acres of fresh cane growing tall in the perfect climate. During the season of January to June, the cane is cut by hand and brought to the steam-powered crusher to extract the juice, which is fermented in large tanks and distilled in two copper column stills to create a delightful, fresh cane spirit - rhum agricole. In the aging house, the rhum rests in barrels to create exceptionally fine spirits. A tasting room and retail shop offers a chance to learn and buy these fine cane spirits. Close to the airport, easy to find.

Anse Dufour

Reviewed By CoralReef - Midwest, USA

We enjoyed excellent snorkeling at Anse Dufour. The beach was smallish and rather crowded, but there was a nice sandy entrance to the water, and the snorkeling area was large enough not to feel crowded. Water calmness and clarity were outstanding, and there were many beautiful fish and healthy coral to see. We also enjoyed seeing the pelicans fearlessly fishing right next to the swimmers.
There are plenty of restaurants and other facilites onsite. Parking is not adequate for the popularity of this beach, so be prepared to walk a long way, and/or be very brave about parallel parking on a narrow road. Cars frequently had to back up long distances to allow each other past, so parking can take a while. However, the snorkeling at this beach is well worth a little inconvenience!

La Savane des Esclaves

Reviewed By Colin P - United Kingdom

We spent an hour and a half at La Savane des Esclaves, which was time well spent learning about the terrible experience encountered by those men and women who were forcibly taken from West Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries to work on the sugar and banana plantations in Martinique. It is easy to reach: look for the signpost on the left hand side of the road as you drive into Les Trois Ilets, just past the Vito garage and before the large roundabout - it is a couple of kilometres from there, south of the town. There is adequate space for parking. It consists of a collection of wooden buildings, attractively located amongst trees, bushes and flowers, depicting the lives of slaves, and their work and living conditions. You just follow the path and go at your own pace. There are notices everywhere providing helpful information in French and English. Highly recommended.

Schoelcher Library

Built in France in 1889, this library was shipped piece by piece to the island, where it stands today, a beautiful monument to slavery abolitionist Victor Schoelcher.

Reviewed By teachers55 - Columbus, Ohio, USA

This building was built in France by the Eiffel Tower people, then disassembled and moved to Martinique piece by piece. That by itself makes it worthwhile to see - it is lovely looking architecture. The inside is not, however. Drab and unclean with no working toilet. Still, it’s worth a quick look if you’re in the city.
