Surprisingly impressive! Very well maintained and diverse. Be aware that the last entry is 16:30h, while they communicate their opening times to be until 18:00h. There is a restaurant and a small shop around, parking is available on site. Adult price is 16€, but worth it!

One of main attractions when visiting Martinique. We visited the gardens during our cruise. The gardens are very clean and the views at the mountains from scenic spots are very nice. There are designated paths with one being adjusted for people with strollers or reduced mobility. We liked that there was not many mosquitos. The entry fee is quite steep and there were parts of the park which were closed. We were a bit surprised that the park is smaller than we thought but we don’t know how big was the closed area. But I think the gardens are still worth a visit especially if you’re in Martinique as a part of the cruise, it’s just a short drive from a port. There is a pleasant souvenir shop at the exit.

It is more a nice park than an actual botanical garden; rather small and too expensive (16 EUR / person), but very well maintained and with stunning views down on the sea. There is also a mini high ropes course (included in the entrance fee) which was lovely.

We visited Balata after spending half a day in Fort-de-France and it was such a welcome break from the city, its noise and heat. Take the time to walk all the paths, look for the colibri birds buzzing amid the bushes and spend 50 cents to buy fish food and enjoy a few quite minutes next to one of the ponds.

A beautiful and superbly designed botanical garden. You can also watch hummingbirds up close at the feeding stations. There is a footbridge amongst the trees, built on wobbly planks. A highlight for children is feeding the fish (tilapia). There is a car park and a restaurant nearby. In my opinion, the admission fee is a bit too expensive.
