    • Meet the tour guide ans start the tour of Martinique, admiring Fort De France's natural splendours on a guided tour of its lush botanical gardens, with tropical flora and an elevated suspension bridge. Before exploring its diverse vegetation, learn about the island's rich cultural heritage and local horticulturalists.
    • See 3,000 varieties of colourful tropical flowers and plants, including hibiscus, roses, wild orchids, bamboo, and palm trees. Stroll among the trees along a suspension bridge perched above the rainforest gardens.
