Spend a full day aboard a Lagoon catamaran from Fort‑de‑France searching for dolphins, snorkeling with colorful reef fish, and watching green turtles near Grande Anse. Expect breakfast, a Creole lunch, and guided eco‑briefings along southern Martinique’s coves.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran slips out of Fort‑de‑France before dawn and the bay opens like a page: blue expanse, towns shrinking to red roofs, and the wind pushing the bow forward. Early light picks out the backs of dolphins as they weave an arc beside the hull; later the boat anchors in glassy water and the sea invites you to swim among reef fish and sunlit coral.
