- Peter WBrussels, Belgium133 contributionsThis is probably the shortest I will dver write.
This place is really matching the info you will find.
It truly is wonderful and an absolute must see when in Martinique.
Do not miss the feeding stations, which are hung up just upon entering the park, to attract (plenty of) colibris (humming birds) .
Very important : you really need to get there at opening time !!! 09h00 in our case, to have a relaxed and enjoyable visit.
Upon exiting around 10h45, the place really started to be really too crowded, especially with several buses dropping cruise passengers in large numbers.
Go early !!!Written March 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Travelsloth109 contributionsFantastic experience and I would recommend this as a must visit if you find yourself in Martinique.
The museum experience is varied and flows nicely from area to area and the grounds were absolutely stunning with their extensive array of trees and sculptures.
The rum tasting is relaxed and extensive and you are welcome to try as many as you wish.
Don’t park when you first arrive as we did down by the industrial area. Continue up the hill along the palm lined entrance road to find the actual car park!Written April 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As our ship was one of four in port thought it would be good to get away from the crowds. So pleased we did. Beach is beautiful with sunbeds for hire, food & drink options. Sea very calm and safe. Highly recommend a visit we paid US $50 per person for the return trip.Written March 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zolou25Kew, UK98 contributionsOur guide Pablo took us on his boat for half a day to the Fond blancs, the baignoire de Joséphine, a secluded beach and the Mangroves.
It was absolutely magical as was the incredible knowledge and hospitality he shared. It is well worth investing in this experience!Written January 9, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Once at the special place named 'La Baignoire de Josephine", The floor is stable and anyone can walk anywhere.
People like to walk on that, because it is different and attractive!

- Dara Lee Lewis7 contributionsExcellent snorkeling for beginners to more experienced. The sea turtles are often found here feeding on sea grass. In addition to turtles, we saw cuttlefish, trumpet fish, and lots of others. There is a small restaurant, public toilets, and an ice cream stand. Just be aware that parking can be difficult and you may have to walk a bit up the road.Written December 31, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- T-SGlobetrottersPreston, UK2,681 contributionsTucked away in very attractive surrounding in the far north of the island, this distillery is great for a visit to learn about rhum making process and sample some drinks. Entry for the tour and tasting is entirely free. There is a self- guided walk lasting around 30 minutes along a defined route which takes you past a small sample sugar cane plantation, the huge machines which process the sugar cane through to fermentation, distillation, storage and a tasting bar. The tour envelopes you in the noise and odour of the rhum making process and is very authentic.
You are given the opportunity to sample four different drinks and there is the option to purchase before you leave. We opted for the miniatures box, a selection of six different drinks with tasting notes which was economical for the limited space available on flights.
Overall, this was a very enjoyable visit.Written May 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Super highly recommended + not to be missed :-)Written March 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was a highlight of our trip to Martinique.
There are three options: the full 8km hike, a shorter 6km hike cutting off the headland and a short hike of 2km focused only on the mangroves. I scoffed at the long times suggested on the information panels, but we took 2h 45 for the middle distance (6km) - terrain, chats, admiring the view all add to the time.
Path is well marked with blue/white painted discs rather than poles.. Not really suitable for young kids, given the high cliffs. Would be much trickier in wet weather - on slippery exposed volcanic rocks. Terrain is rough in places - we didn't have to scramble but lots of up and down. If you have problems with climbing stairs the walk out to the lighthouse and back is along a fairly flat track (though there are steps up to the lighthouse itself).
Walk clockwise as you end up at the chateau which sells refreshments! Go early, take water, add an hour to the times do the chateau (Well worth the visit - it closes at 16.30 and there is a charge) and you will need proper footwear, but training shoes are fine.
Finally, lots of people park at the end of the bitumen, but you can drive a further kilometre or so on the dirt and there is a second car park just before the track is gated (and the paved surface resumes!) and the track diverges down to the chateau.Written January 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Prior to the trip, rent a car with Europcar in Pointe du Bout. It’s the only car company we found that will let you return the car the same day. We paid about 55 euros which included full insurance. Also purchase good road map of Martinique or get a gps from Europcar, if they offer it. We used a Michelin map we got from Amazon.
Once in Martinique, get off the ship ASAP and over to the Vedette Tropicales ferry. It’s on the middle angled pier just east of the Pointe Simon Cruise terminal. If you are on Celebrity, that cruise pier is a 15-20 walk west to the ferry pier - just on the other side of the fort. There is very good signage that says, “Ferry to Beaches”. Once there, get roundtrip tickets to Pointe du Bout. There is a ferry schedule online at Vedettestropicales.com Make sure you get the ferry to Pointe du Bout. The ferries have more than one destination.
Once at Pointe du Bout, it’s like a 2-3 minute walk to Europcar. I want to say it’s on Rue du Chacha. Streets aren’t obvious. It’s not a freestanding building on its own. Just look to the left as you walk out of the ferry area onto the town street. Or ask.
I’ve attached a map where Pointe du Bout and Gorges de la Falaise is marked. It takes about an hour and a half to go from Pointe du Bout to the Gorges de la Falaise. Directions are towards places rather than East, West etc. We took D38 to D7 towards Rivière Salée, then the N5 towards the Aeropuerto or Le Lamentin, then the A1 towards Fort-de-France and then the D41. We then took the N3. There was a place on the N3, near the beginning where we weren’t surely we were still on the N3 (we had taken the road going toward the right at sort of a T place,) but there was a sign within a mile or two for N3, so we knew we had taken the right road. After that we just followed the N3 also called the Route de la Trace. (Look it up.) Very windy, but scenic. Gorges de la Falaise is a few kilometers beyond Le Morne -Rouge. There is a sign and it’s on the left down a non-descript road. Cost is 10 euros each cash. Be in a bathing suit, have a waterproof camera and good soled water shoes or sneakers you don’t mind being under water. Stairs are down are steep, but I did it and I’m almost 60. Read other reviews for more info on the gorge. Phone numbers for the gorge and the restaurant next door are 0596533653 and 0596533561. They will close if it rains.
Going back, be aware that traffic in Fort-de-France can be bad. Leave plenty of time. We had no problem. We took the 8:45am ferry and were able to catch the 3:15pm ferry back. Plenty of time to walk the 15-20 minutes to get back for the all aboard at 4:30 pm on Celebrity pier. Note that after the 3:15om ferry, there is not another back to Fort-de-France til 4:15pm.Written January 23, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Then a brief walk through forest/jungle that includes crossing a narrow, rocky stream on foot (so wear the right shoes) before arriving at a small but beautiful beach where you can actually see a line between grey and black sand. Abesutiful, natural place.Written February 15, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Peky PBucharest, Romania15 contributionsWorth the hassle to get there but if the weather is bad or if there are clouds you will not enjoy the scenery. The road up there is ok.Written April 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Srimanth RudrarajuGreater London, UK327 contributionsThe view from Vista point is just simply majestic and beautiful. It gives you the perfect feel of a floating iceberg. Just brilliant.
This is the only rock to be named as a ship. Google "HMS Diamond Rock". The British somehow sneaked to the top of the rock, built a fort with fortifications, put some battery and controlled the waters. They decimated any French ships trying to enter the shores of Fort-de-France. French troops made several unsuccessful attempts to retake the rock.
The ingenuity of the armies trying to outwit the other and then you look at a simple rock standing in the sea... wow! that feeling is quite powerful. Loved the view of the rock and to know its history.
Again, thanks to our guide Sebastiano from Sebastiano Tours & Travels, that i was able to know so much.Written December 30, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
