This was the best... - This was the best excursion of our entire trip. Daniel is a very energetic person and his enthusiasm was contagious, especially at the Botanic garden! He started out our trip by contacting us a few days before to move the time to 30 minutes earlier knowing that our ship was going to be leaving port an hour earlier than originally scheduled. That in itself made us trust that he was looking out for us.
He even took us to an unplanned waterfall to have a "massage". He took pictures and videos for all of us. We really appreciated everything. He made sure we were back to ship in plenty of time.
Thank you Daniel!

Spectacular nature and fabulous guides - Absolutely amazing, a must do in Martinique.
We were cruising so only had a few hours to see the island, our guides Daniel and Jordan were fantastic, and showed us so much of the islands natural beauty in such a short time. They were incredibly informative and knowledgeable, and clearly enthusiastic about their lovely island. They even provided umbrellas when it rained.
The areas you visit don’t feel touristy, they seem authentic, unspoiled and peaceful. The tour is so immersive, and an absolute pleasure to the senses! There is so much to see, hear, smell and even taste on this tour!
Every stop was truly spectacular and I couldn’t recommend this enough. The nature is just absolutely breathtaking, and you really do feel immersed in it.

Daniel was a very good... - Daniel was a very good guide and driver during the tour. He took us to places that would be hard to find with a rental car. His knowledge and enthusiasm when it comes to flowers and plants was also something that we liked a lot.

The best tour and tour... - The best tour and tour guide. We saw all major sights in a short amount of time, but never felt rushed. Everything was perfect: communication via Whatsapp, easy to find meeting spot, the sights, nature and information provided. Thank you for such a nice day. Highly recommend.

Incredible experience! - Superb excursion with Daniel, which I made for the 2nd time with pleasure and even new discoveries. I highly recommend: ideal to discover the North of Martinique away from the crowds of tourists and to take full eyes. I strongly advise botany lovers too as it is ungluable and the visit to the Emerald Domain was much more complete than with the guide available on site! On top 🫶🏻

Enjoyed this tour - excellent value for the tour cost - Excellent value for the money. Our 4 hour tour was extended to about 6 hours as our guide was very thorough to have all passengers interested experience water fall activities, explain biological garden plants, and see the various sights along the way. Tour also included visiting two Rum factories, explaining how rum is made, and rum tasting. Swimming at the beach also was available near the end of the tour for those interested. Guide Daniel had an accent which at times made hearing a little challenging if you sat in the back of the van, but was excellent. I recommend wearing water shoes to wade through water (I got my shoes wet) and walk over pebbles near waterfall pools. Roads are very windy. Pick up and drop off at the cruise port near our ship with plenty of time to spare. Would recommend this tour.
