Best way is to let our customers speak : "The tour with Sebastiano was the best guided tour we have ever taken. He is very knowledgeable in history, geology, and the local flora and fauna. His enthusiasm about the island, the rainforest and history inspired us a lot and sparkled our curiosity. He brought us to wonderful, less touristy spots, which we appreciated. His mission was successful; after his tour, we are now huge fans of Martinique and want to visit it again. He is also very friendly, polite and a true gentleman. If you stop in Martinique for a day, going on a tour with Sebastiano is the best thing you can do with your time."

I will describe these specificities, we will observe different varieties of crabs, and I will tell you more about the importance of preserving these threatened environments. We will then discover the secrets of a vanilla producer, this spice that we all know and that decorates so many dishes and desserts. The guided tour of this surprising garden will teach you more about many local species, including the secrets of the spices of our Creole cuisine. We will take the time to discover a wild beach lined with coconut trees away from the tourist visitation, and end our day with a nice viewpoint for your best memories.
