Planning a Trip

If you're driving from Fort-de-France, take Route 1, which crosses the plain of Lamentin -- the industrial area of Fort-de-France and the site of the international airport. Often the air is filled with the fragrance of caramel, from the large sugar-cane factories in the surrounding area. After about 30km (20 miles), you reach Les Trois-Ilets. Five kilometers (3 miles) farther on your right, take Route D38 to Pointe du Bout.

The ferry service runs all day long until midnight from the harbor front (rue de la Liberté) in downtown Fort-de-France. Round-trip fare is 8€ ($10).
