Fun Kayak proposes to discover the beautiful Martinique mangrove by kayak, one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean. Covering a thousand hectares, the mangrove extends over the communes of Ducos, Rivière-Salée and Les Trois-Ilets.

Two circuits are possible, supervised by qualified instructors. The first one consists in a course in the forest of Vatable, next to the maison de la Canne. The second circuit (from Ducos, duration 3 hours) is a peaceful walk along the water to discover the biodiversity of the mangrove, its trees and its colorful fauna.

A semi-guided route with panels along the 1 350 m to allow proper use of the ten workshops. A good opportunity to combine sport and relaxation in this fresh and green area.

It is very pleasant and well maintained and organizes very popular tournaments every year. 10 tennis courts, a 18 m swimming pool and a gym. Also attended by locals and tourists.

Horse lovers, nature lovers and adventure lovers, head to the Trénelle equestrian center.

Dare to fly! This is the motto of Sophie, who offers an exceptional flying experience on board her autogyro, a funny bird that is the ancestor of the helicopter.

Because at 300 meters of altitude, you will never be able to see Martinique and its hidden treasures so well. And realize how important it is to preserve this unique nature…

Also known as the “slave canal”, the Beauregard canal was built at the end of the 18^th century to produce energy and irrigate the valley. Today, it welcomes adventurous hikers who can walk 3.5 km up the canal on its edge. The paved path is very narrow, alternating passages in dense forest and on the hillside. In single file, make sure not to make a false step, and the first one will have for mission to unearth the small yellow crabs who live in the waters of the canal.

After a visit to the Balata garden, the Absalon loop is a 4 km hike (3h walking time) that starts at the former Absalon spa, whose miraculous waters were much frequented in the ^19th century by people suffering from various ailments. Since then, the spa has closed, but it's the starting point for a lovely (and at times strenuous) walk that plunges you into the heart of the wonders of the rainforest. An old bathtub has been installed to take advantage of the virtues of the hot waters, testimony to a bygone era of thermalism.

An experienced, state-certified guide, Jordan will introduce you to the joys of canyoning in the heart of the rainforest in several canyons, from the "easiest", which starts at Absalon, to the more challenging Alma and Soeurs canyons.

After a presentation of safety instructions and crossing techniques, the adventure begins and you can safely tackle your first descents.
