Martinique spoils both hard-core adventure travelers and soft-adventure nature
lovers with a plethora of "green" and "blue" settings, from the national park to-
and into-the sea. Its gear shops and tour operators are as first-rate as the
scenery, offering rentals, instruction and guided tours in all manner of activities.
Many, although certainly not all, of the green activities take place in the national
park, a 270-sq.-mile playground that covers more than half of the island. Indeed,
maybe it's better to use the plural word, "playgrounds," because this protected 60
percent of Martinique includes the volcanos and virgin rainforests of the north, the
east coast's Caravelle Peninsula, and in the south, pristine Pointe des Salines, La
Savane des Petrifications, and Diamant. To say that these areas represent different
ecosystems with different scenery and recreational options would be an understatement.
The choice of blue/maritime activities is as enormous as the variety of ecosystems, which include beaches, reefs, wrecks, calm water, wind-blown seas and
many kinds of gamefish. For a guide to the best rental outfits and instructors in
various pursuits, read through the Martinique Specialist Program at

blue activities await adventure and eco-tourists in Martinique:
