Detail of the stay : Martinique for sports enthusiasts - 7 days
Day 1: Arrival in Martinique
Steps: Le Lamentin
You arrive at Le Lamentin airport. Perhaps you're exhausted from the journey and the jet lag, and have only one thought in mind: to head off to your holiday destination. A good shower, a welcome ti-punch and off to bed.
Day 2: 4×4 excursion
To get to know Martinique, start your stay with a 4×4 excursion. Two very different circuits and concepts are proposed: the North or the South. For authenticity and the tropical forest, prefer the North.
Day 3: Scuba diving
Steps: Les Anses D'Arlet
The most difficult part of this day's exploration of the abundant seabed along Martinique's coastline will be choosing the right spot, as there are so many to choose from! Les Anses d'Arlet remains a fairly safe starting point, however: from here you can explore Pointe Burgos and its abundant fauna, as well as the Nahoon wreck off Cap Salomon.
Day 4: Mountain bike outing
Once you've collected your equipment from one of the island's rental agencies, choose the itinerary of your choice. Once again, there are many options to choose from, and the regions to be covered are each more splendid than the last. Between the 10 km loop and the steeper 50 km circuits, the levels of difficulty are equally varied.
Day 5: Water sports
Steps: Les Trois-Îlets, Le François, Le Robert
Devote the day to your favorite water sports: take a water scooter or canoe-kayak trip around Le Robert, Le François, Les Trois-Îlets or Cap-Chevalier, or maybe go windsurfing at Cap-Chevalier.
Day 6: Hiking in the Savane des Pétrifications
Steps: Sainte-Anne
This is perhaps one of the most original hikes on the island: the hiking trail that crosses the Savane des Pétrifications (5 hours round trip, easy level), in the Sainte-Anne peninsula. In this desert area, which owes its name to fossilized trees, you can see some cactus and acacias. The landscape is stunning.

Day 7: Departure
It's already departure time. Most flights depart in the late afternoon. Some accommodations allow you to change at the airport before departure, with luggage storage and showers at your disposal. This is a great advantage, as it means you can make the most of your last moments on the island, and plan a little trip out to sea, for example!
