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!

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.

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.

Great place to visit , beautiful , vibrant , clean , I came here on a cruise tour so had a guide take us round and talk about the various trees , plants and wildlife.
Seeing the hummingbirds at the end was amazing to watch 😍.
Toilets and gift shop on site , the whole area is built on a hill so not wheelchair or pushchair friendly 🤷🏼♂️.
The day we went the gardens provided banana fritters to taste for free.
Lovely place to visit 🌞😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The garden itself is absolutely beautiful, they have an elevated walkway in the trees and some rare plants. The staff are friendly! Signage is in French and English. €16 for an adult entry, fair price
There's an unmarked bus stop outside which runs every hour to the city
