We booked this tour through Royal Caribbean and we left right from the cruise dock. The boat ride to the mangroves gave us great views of Martinique. Lucien and Sebastien were knowledgeable and very patient with the not-so experienced kayakers. We learned a lot about the mangroves. After kayaking, we went to a beautiful beach and had some rum drinks. So much fun!
3. Habitation Clement

Located on the east coast of Martinique, this is one of the most famous Plantation Homes in the Caribbean.
Reviewed By Donald Munroe E - Hamburg, New York
The Habitation Clement isn't a typical distillery tour. Rather than view the actual production process for Martinique's famous 'rhum agricole', you tour through the remains of the original distillery. There are audio guides available in several languages, including English, and a wonderful feature of the tour is the vignettes featuring the lives and memories of actual employees from earlier times. This really brings the production process, that is well described by the exhibits, to life. However, it is the grounds, historic buildings that are open for visitation, and wonderful foliage and public art that sets this tour apart. An unexpected bonus was a first-class exhibit of African art that was beautifully curated and presented as part of the tour. And did I mention that the 'rhum', available for tasting at the end of the tour in the distillery tasting and gift shop, is VERY good?!?! Would recommend this tour to anyone.

Discover the Diamond Rock and the most beautiful Beaches in the south of Martinique in the sea scooter, accompanied by Yoann, your qualified instructor. Several options are available to meet your needs for relaxation and discovery.
Reviewed By wma443 - Hamburg, Germany
We did the 1h tour around the Rocher du Diamant and into the mangroves. It was our first time on a jet-ski and we were given a good introduction by Yoann, who is both the owner and the instructor. We followed him around the Rocher du Diamant. Yoann was going at pretty high speeds, so we could have a lot of fun, even as beginners :)
The mangroves were fascinating as well. But of course we had to go at a very slow speed in there. So if you just want to do the highspeed stuff, make sure you book a tour without the mangroves.
The place was a bit tricky to find. It's located between to the premises of the abandoned Diamond Rock Hotel and the fisherport. The coordinates for your GPS are 14.473757,-61.007975

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.
6. Denebola

Accompanied by your professional skipper aboard the comfortable sailboat Denebola, you will discover the islets in the bay of Robert under sail. The beautiful bay of Robert is protected and calm - great for a pleasant sailing trip. Numerous Islands with different natural characteristics offer bathing in turquoise waters over white sand - a perfect opportunity to explore the reefs and sea bed and discover the varied flora and fauna.
Reviewed By SMRCORNISH - Cornish, ME
As first time visitors to Martinique, the property manager of our rental house recommended that we book a boat tour to ilets Madame and Chancel off Le Robert Bay. We chose Denebola because of the reviews on TripAdvisor and we are so glad we did! Our family of four joined two other passengers on a full-day tour. Leon was our captain and he was fantastic! He basically taught us all how to sail, my daughter manned the rudder, my husband helped with the sails, someone else managed the buoy… We sipped rum punch on the way to our first stop and were amazed by how fast we moved due to the favorable trade winds in the bay. First we stopped at ilet Madame and were taken aback by its beauty- white sandy ocean floor with crystal-clear water made for great swimming. You can snorkel here, but it isn’t as good as on other parts of the island, we did see some fish and awesome starfish though. We did not book a lunch but really wished we had because it looked delicious, chicken, salads and fruit. There are several picnic shelters and we noted little bats asleep in some of them. There is also a short hike you can take that leads to a great view. After a couple of hours, we packed up and made our way to the iguana island (Chancel) and spent about 45 minutes looking at iguanas and hiking through ruins. (We also leaned a bit about mangroves.) We noted that there were several “bigger” boats that landed on Madame while we were there and we remarked how different our experience would have been if we’d chosen one of them-louder, less personal, whereas we felt like we were out on a friend’s boat for the day. If you want a relaxing day on the water, visiting beautiful places and getting up close and personal with nature, choose Denebola!

8. La Savane des Esclaves

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.

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.

This day trip was really good, fun and entertaining, we stop at several isles and iguanas island
Thé catamaran was well equipped and the skippers very well organize and made us feel special and at ease
Sylvain was very knowledgeable regarding the island history and and trees and cultures and traditions. Soraya was really nice and made the accras and goyava ice cream with us .
Although we had a couple with a small child the team made us feel very special soraya was playing with her etc...however I would not recommend this day trip for couple with small child .
Overall this day trip was really good and will definitely recommend it if you want to have a good time.
