South Island Tour
Escape the crowds and enjoy a more intimate experience with a small group of no more than eighteen guests. Discover the diverse landscapes, rich history, and authentic flavors that make Martinique so unique.
Your journey begins in Le Lamentin, where you'll be introduced to some of the island's most beloved local specialties. Browse a selection of aromatic spices, handcrafted chocolates, local coffees, and tropical teas while learning about the traditions and flavors that define Martinique's culture. This welcoming stop also offers the perfect opportunity to pick up authentic island treats and souvenirs.
Continuing south, we pause at the Cap 110 Memorial, a powerful tribute honoring the victims of slavery and the island's complex history. The striking stone statues overlooking the sea stand as a symbol of remembrance and reflection tied to the transatlantic slave trade.
Ascend to new heights as we unveil the secrets of Diamond Rock, an ancient volcanic marvel steeped in French colonial lore. Capture the breathtaking vista with your camera as our guide narrates its profound significance to Martinique's heritage.
Next, take in breathtaking views of the famous Diamond Rock, a dramatic volcanic formation rising from the Caribbean Sea. As your guide shares stories of its historical significance and strategic importance during the colonial era, enjoy panoramic photo opportunities of one of Martinique's most iconic landmarks.
Your adventure continues to Les Anses d'Arlet, a charming fishing village known for its relaxed atmosphere and postcard-worthy scenery. Admire the picturesque church perfectly aligned with the pier before enjoying free time to experience the beauty of the area at your own pace. Relax on the pristine white sand beach, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and explore vibrant marine life in the nearby reefs. Keep an eye out for colorful tropical fish and graceful sea turtles, often spotted in these calm Caribbean waters.
