Four ways into the island

Begin with something you genuinely want to do.

A volcano hike, beach day, historic town and distillery visit require different bases and different checks.

Build the trip

Four decisions that genuinely change an itinerary.

Use these guides as starting points. They connect places with journeys, conditions and sensible nearby alternatives.

  1. 01

    Sea trips and the Fonds Blancs

    Boat trips, dolphins, kayaking and swimming: distinguish the areas, formats and changing conditions.

  2. 02

    Explore the island by area

    Volcanic north, Caribbean coast, Caravelle and the south: group days to avoid needless cross-island drives.

  3. 03

    Markets, food and memory

    Make time for towns, produce and places that explain the Martinique people live in today.

  4. 04

    Roads, ferries and realistic timings

    Plan your arrival, car, public transport and ferry journeys around the island’s terrain.
