Detailed itinerary

1

This captivating North Part Of Martinique Island commences at the center of Fort-de-France city or hotels. Step into a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle, embarking on a 30-minutes journey through the scenic beauty of Martinique.

2

This is perhaps the most famous and visited church in Martinique, a replica of the Basilica of Sacre Coeur in Paris. It is on the hill, in an elevated position with a viewpoint, from which you can enjoy magnificent views looking over the bay and the capital of Martinique. The church was built by Monseigneur Lequien in 1915, after the eruption of Montagne Pele destroyed Saint-Pierre in 1902 (until then the capital of the island) and was designed by the French architect Wuifflef.

3

The most fascinating part of this road (the N3) is the climb up through tropical rain forest - miles of forest and heliconias, extraordinarily tall bamboo, palms and other deep forest plants. It is a challenging drive, often in the rain (naturally as its a rain forest), and this, of course, feeds some lovely rivers, and waterfalls especially the River Alma falls.

4

Piton du Corbet is a small mountain range in Martinique. The ridge is located in the northern part of the island south of the Montagne-Pele stratovolcano, which is not part of Piton du Corbet. The ridge is of volcanic origin, but unlike Montagne-Pélé is not active.

5

Experience a guided tour with a private guide at a botanical garden and forest park, where you can learn about flowers and medicinal plants. Explore the impressive créole garden at le Domaine d Emeraude, a garden that has received recognition and awards.

6

Take a guided tour of the rum factory to learn about the rum-making process. Explore the Domain and its beautiful garden.

7

St. Pierre is a town on the island of Martinique. It was founded in 1635. Until 1692, when the governor's residence was moved to Fort-de-France, it was the administrative center of the French colony of the same name. Afterwards it remained the most economically developed center of Martinique for two centuries.

8

After the guided tour, relish in 1 hour of free time. Your guide will drop you off at a convenient location, allowing you to savor lunch and indulge in some retail therapy.

9

After a day filled with delights, our comfortable private vehicle will whisk you back to your hotel or city center, brimming with cherished memories. Trust our decade-long expertise in organizing private tours and exploring the city view with utmost comfort and peace of mind.
