From Trois-Îlets, board the Mantou for a 2.5-hour cruise into Génipa Bay’s mangroves. Guides such as Faustin, Yanis, Nicolas, and Prosper explain local plants, wildlife, conservation, and Martinique life. The trip includes water, juice, cake, and arranged rum, with morning and afternoon departures for groups of up to 12.

Spend about seven hours aboard a small boat from Le François, with a maximum of 12 people. Cruise past mangroves and islets, swim at Thierry Island and Josephine’s Bath, enjoy Creole lunch on Oscar Island, and share rum, acras, and local stories with captains such as Xavier, Julien, Isaac, or Pipo.
“Très belle aventure avec cette journée, Marque est un excellent guide pédagogique et pilote son vaisseau au rythme de la musique. De belles plages et îles à voir absolument. Les iguanes sont vraiment magnifiques. Allez y sans vous poser de questions et profitez des bons moments. Merci à la jolie dame en robe rose qui nous a accompagnée dans les Rdv.”
Join state-certified instructor Stéphane from Le Marin for a 2.5-hour boat trip to selected coral sites in southern Martinique. He gives a simple marine biology briefing, guides you on the surface, and supports beginners as well as confident swimmers. Groups are capped at 12, with an aperitif included.
“Stéphanie moniteur accompagnateur hors-pair a su mettre en confiance mon épouse morte de peur , par ses conseils avant d'aller dans l'eau puis dans l'eau en lui tenant la main dans un premier temps puis en restant à ses côtés dans un second temps. Après un bon quart d'heure élevage était autonome. Si vous êtes craintif allez voir Stéphane”
