Description

Jutting off of the eastern shoreline of Martinique, La Caravelle peninsula offers a unique opportunity to explore one of the island’s most beautiful spots!

Starting from the lovely little town of Tartane, which sits right in the middle of the peninsula, we will head out on our half-day hike, making a circuit around part of the peninsula.

As we go, we will get the opportunity to see the dry characteristics of part of this natural reserve’s forest, the peninsula’s rugged shoreline, beautiful water in the bay and the magnificent mangrove forests.

We may even get the chance to see some of the island’s native fauna, including mongooses, anole lizards and fer-de-lance snakes.

Our knowledgable local guide will be able to explain how the mongoose, which is an invasive species, came to the island as well as answer any other questions you may have about the island’s history and ecology.

All of the paths upon which we will be hiking are pretty well maintained and only a moderate level of fitness is required to really enjoy this activity. Remember to bring a sun hat and sunscreen as we will spend a lot of time exposed to the sun.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for an amazing half-day of hiking around the La Caravelle peninsula on stunningly scenic Martinique!

If you like the look of this trip, but your looking for something a bit more challenging, then we think you will also enjoy our one-day ascent of Mount Pelée in northwestern Martinique!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
