A self-drive journey from Fort-de-France to Saint-Pierre’s eruption heritage, then south through Trois-Îlets to the Cap 110 memorial and the public Diamond Rock viewpoint. Mount Pelée is treated as a separately chosen four-to-six-hour hike with live weather and trail checks, never as a quick default stop.

Martinique: Fort-de-France to Le Diamant is a 130 km one-way journey (self-drive). It works best as 4–5 days; the plan below is the 5-day version for February, built from 28 verified places, with planned transit times, opening hours and daylight checked.

When to go

Best months: December, January, February, March, April

The drier window gives the strongest margin for heritage, road and outdoor days; Mount Pelée and beaches still need same-day weather and access checks.
