Top 1, diving in Saint-Pierre's incredible seabed
Dive into the crystal-clear waters of Saint-Pierre and discover a fascinating underwater world. Between mythical shipwrecks, multicolored corals and exceptional marine fauna, every dive is a wild adventure from which you'll bring back unforgettable memories. And above all, open your eyes wide: you may come across huge turtles (I'm in love with them), schools of endlessly colorful tropical fish and maybe even stingrays gliding mysteriously through the depths. Trust me, it's the perfect slightly "sensational" experience for sea lovers!

Top 5, hiking to the summit of Montagne Pelée
Are you tempted to climb an active volcano? I knew you would! The Montagne Pelée offers an intense climb, with steep slopes, often powerful winds and breathtaking views once at the top. A physical adventure, but one you'll remember for the rest of your life!
And for less experienced walkers, don't worry, it's possible to climb Montagne Pelée via 3 trails : l'Aileron, considered the "least difficult" trail with 5H30 of round-trip walking, the Sentier de Grande Savane, 4h up to the Chinese on a very sun-exposed flank and finally the Sentier du Morne Macouba, the most demanding with 17km and 1300m of positive ascent, so for experienced walkers! I'll let you make your choice!

Top 6, surfing the waves of Tartane
Are there any riders around here? Have you ever tamed Martinique's waves? The Tartane spot, on the Caravelle peninsula, is one of the best places to try your hand at surfing in Martinique. Between impressive rollers and a chill atmosphere on the beach, it's a 100% adrenaline experience.I'm personally not very experienced but I really enjoyed watching, I recommend it!

Yes, diving again, but believe me, it's a real must-do in Martinique!
