Very nice visit in minivan! - Daniel was a very friendly guide. We loved visiting the North of the island with her and her adorable little Rose. The itinerary is well thought out, and allows to have a nice overview of the area! Thank you again for the recommendations of places and visit and for your welcome! Samuel and Charlotte

Best of Martinique! - The guide Daniel, sent us a message before to tell us exactly where to meet him. The tour was well planned, had multiple stops, all were fun. The last stop was a beach with a lovely restaurant, and lounge chairs. I would recommend this trip it’s fun and a great value!

Memorable day - This visit to the northern part of the island was a wonderful discovery. Daniel is a very attentive and attentive guide for "grannies" 🤩
He is not miserly to pass on his knowledge about the medicinal and other plants of Martinique as well as its history. I highly recommend it. It was a memorable day to do again absolutely. Thank you Daniel! 🥰👍👍👍

Very well organized tour, varied and quality! - We arrived on Sunday with the Mein Schiff 2 and found that quite a lot was closed, also the ferry did not run. So we met Daniel at the port, who suggested the tour. On the whole cruise we liked the tour with Daniel the best. He is very familiar with plants and we have tasted many exotic fruits and herbs. We marveled at the jungle. In the end we were able to stay 1.5h on the beach. It was great!
We paid 50 Euro pP, there were 2 other external guests who drove along.

Marvelous Martinique Tour - Had a great day with our tour guide Daniel on the Martinique Best Secrets North Island Tour. The tour is limited to 8 passengers in a nice a/c van. We booked this tour to use as a shore excursion from a cruise port stop. After meeting up with Daniel at the port we were quickly out of the city and into the tropical rainforest of Martinique. Our first stop was at the very pretty Balata Cathedral, where there is also a scenic overlook. Daniel is a wealth of botanical knowledge, so he walked us around outside pointing out interesting plants. The next highlight was a gorgeous waterfall accessible by stairs, where Daniel made sure we were safe entering. Be sure to wear your bathing suit and bring a towel if you wish to do this. More stops for quick little hikes to explore more of the amazingly lush rainforest, before heading to the beautiful Domaine d’Emeraude Botanical Garden where Daniel introduced us to so many of the tropical plants. Although we visited the lovely grounds of the Rhum Depaz Distillary, we weren’t able to have a rum tasting as it was closed for a holiday. However, we walked the grounds and learned some about the rum making process and had a stunning view of the Mt. Pelee Volcano. Lastly, we enjoyed some time on Carbet Beach, one of the volcanic beaches. Lunch is on your own here if you choose. The holiday caused some delay in the food order processing, so although it took longer than expected, Daniel still returned us to port about 90 minutes prior to all aboard. This tour moves fast, but definitely takes you to some of the off the beaten path treasures of Martinique.

Fast-paced & rushed! - I wish I could give this excursion 5 stars, but I just can’t. We were rushed at every stop and barely had time to take any pictures and enjoy the scenery. Daniel is a high energy person who walks crazy fast, which made it difficult to keep up with his fast pace. Although I appreciated his “smash & smell” of various plants, I would have much rather taken the time to look at other things and be able to take some pictures. The distillery was a beautiful place, but not enough time to explore and learn more about the history. I stood at the counter for 5-10 minutes waiting to sample the rum, but was never once offered a drink. I finally had to speak up after watching the worker skip over several of us waiting, to dote on a few of the same individuals. The drive back to the ship was at breakneck speed, even tho we had plenty of time to spare. This made it very uncomfortable for us all, since there was 3 people per seat in the van. Be prepared to get close to whomever you are sitting beside. You may not know whom that will be either, as you are asked to play musical chairs and switch seats and rotate at every stop. This is so everyone has to take turns to be the one in the back of the bus. (Which isn’t easy getting in and out of.)
