5.00Excellent boat excursion from start to finish! The organization was perfect; everything was smooth and very well thought out. A huge thank you to Captain Pierre Henri, who is passionate and engaging, for introducing us to his island with a wealth of knowledge, anecdotes, and love for its history. The atmosphere on board was warm and friendly. Special mention for the house planter, absolutely delicious and probably one of the best we have tasted! An authentic experience that we recommend without hesitation. Thank you for this wonderful day.

A Surprisingly Chill Day on the Water

4.00Never have I ever had so much time to just relax on a tour. This was one of the most chill excursions we experienced in Martinique. The tour itself is simple, taking you to a few scenic spots, including a few sandbars in the ocean where you can wade and float in calm water. At its deepest, the water was only about 3.5 feet, so it felt very safe and easy to just bob around and enjoy the experience. Our guide/captain spoke only French, but he thoughtfully emailed an information sheet beforehand to help English speakers understand what was happening and what to expect. One stop where you exit the boat is an island with iguanas, which I initially thought might be intimidating, but it ended up being surprisingly cool even for anyone who may be nervous around the creatures. One thing to note: you’ll need to wade through about 3 feet of murky water to get off the boat, which wasn’t the best feeling. I definitely recommend water shoes and an extra set of clothes that are easy to change in and out of. The biggest downside: the listing mentioned “brunch,” but no food was provided, so bring a snack if you think you’ll need one. Also, the meeting location is in a neighborhood down a very steep hill (not dangerous or cliff-like, just steep). Give yourself extra time to get there and be prepared for the incline. Parking is available at a residence, and our car was perfectly fine. Overall, if you’re looking for a low-key, relaxing excursion, this may be one of the most laid-back tours you’ll find in Martinique.
An unforgettable morning.

5.00A wonderful family moment (9-year-old child) thanks to Pierre-Henri, a passionate, attentive, and very professional history guide. We learned a lot about the history of Martinique and about iguanas, all while enjoying refreshing swims. Our guide patiently answered all our questions. Seeing the other boats around us with drunken tourists and loud music, we were very happy to have chosen Exotic Vibes. More family-oriented and educational, this is what we were looking for. We recommend it without any hesitation! Thank you!
Excellent

5.00After hesitating to take this type of excursion and trying to find the provider that seemed to suit us best, it turns out that we made a good choice because we had a really very pleasant morning! A bit of thrills but not too much, a little bit of atmosphere but not too much, plenty of explanations, a lot of exchanges and friendliness, a lovely captain passionate about his country, in short, a beautiful encounter and a wonderful experience.
A great morning with...

5.00Great experience. Pierre Henry is kind, attentive to our needs. He is also very proactive in informing us about the place and time of the activity. We were able to spend a good time in the different places and Pierre Henry knows how to make everything pleasant. It informs us well about the different historical facts and we felt very safe on the boat.
