Leslie was amazing! We are so happy we took this tour. We loved it! The black sand beach and the waterfall in the rainforest were spectacular! We were given small yummy snacks throughout the tour. At the end we asked Leslie for a great local lunch recommendation and she took us to a delicious spot!

We really enjoyed seeing as much as we did of Martinique, especially since a couple of my ancestors came here from France nearly 400 years ago. Mt. Pelee was especially interesting.

This tour was so informational. I really really enjoyed the storytelling style of the guide and she was able to answer just about any question. The snacks were great, and the stops we made were perfect. A wonderful way to see many parts of the island in one day.

Gwladys was our wonderful guide. We had the opportunity to visit so much of the island away from the city. The tour was very well organized. We enjoyed a thorough overview of the island including a visit to a waterfall, distillery and several ruins. The bus was comfortable and roomy. While some people went to the beach, others had the opportunity to go to a local bakery and enjoy the food. I would recommend this excursion for those wanting an overview of the island.

Driver was wonderful had snacks for us at every stop. Good driver

This tour was fantastic! Christelle was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The sites we visited were a perfect blend of natural beauty and historic significance. The drinks and snacks she provided were delicious and had interesting background stories. If anyone has special dietary needs, she can accommodate them. My husband and I and our two adult children thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it to all.
Allan P. –
Excellent host for the tour. Gave us a great trip around the island

Leslie was an AMAZING tour guide! She was accommodating regarding meeting place, gave an incredible 5 hour tour complete with descriptions of each neighborhood we passed through as well any historical significance it had, and the little snacks and drinks she provided were a wonderful personalized touch to the whole experience. Definitely take this tour! It was more than worth the money for the experience. Not to mention the opportunity to swim in the Caribbean Sea on a black sand beach and in a fresh water pool at the bottom of a rainforest waterfall

We did this trip on April 3, 2018. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Gladys was great (with her fiancé in training), as well as our driver (sorry I can’t remember his name). The bus was very nice and comfortable with AC. Gladys was very informative and answered all our questions. The scenery was beautiful, the roads were very curvy and winding, but was expected. My wife did take bonine for motion sickness prior to getting on the bus. Gladys did help a fellow passenger at the rhum distillery that was motion sick, by getting her ginger syrup, the lady stated she was better almost immediately, We bought the syrup, and it Is syrup, no alcohol. There was a bakery by the beach we ate at, but selection was limited due to a busy day, but the bread was very good, others liked the quiche. The only reason this is a 4 out of 5, we had to wait on other passengers for about 45 minutes of the ship, typical but frustrating. I would suggest telling people to be there 30 minutes sooner for a start time. But I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that enjoys scenic tours.

Our guide Sebastiano was excellent! He is highly knowledgeable about all aspects of Martinique and was very enthusiastic about sharing his island with visitors. Martinique is a beautiful place. We really enjoyed learning about the volcanic eruption and visiting the rum distillery.
The bus was very comfortable and not overcrowded. I would recommend a better PA system to make it easier to hear.
Linda P. –
his tour was awesome. Christelle was the best tour guide I have had and I’ve done hundreds of tours. The food tastings were all home-made by her – what a pleasant surprise we had at each stop. I could not believe all the goodies that she bought with her.
Foods and drinks – She even carried snacks to the waterfall where we had a long walk and had to cross over rocks to get to the waterfall! Her information was spot-on – you can tell her love of the island. We are returning in April with friends and I will book this tour again. Do not miss it.
Skimmer –
Enjoyed our tour immensely. Our guide, Sebastian, was knowledgeable, friendly and made our day on Martinique memorable. Highly recommend!

This tour was booked as an alternative to trips organised by the cruise ship. Very good value, there were 6 of us on the tour and we were transported in a modern comfortable people mover. Drinks were offered both alcoholic and non. The guide sorry can’t remember her name was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information on the island and how it is run, and how people live. We went to a rum distillery, very interesting tour, then the beach, and a waterfall in the rain forest which would be inaccessible to larger vehicles. We were very pleased with the tour and it’s success has given us confidence to look at other tours offered.

We enjoyed this tour! Our tour company was Beyond the Beach, and our guide was named Sebastine. Our van was immaculate and Sebastine was very informative, friendly, and spoke English well. We would definitely recommend this tour for those wanting a good overview and history of Martinique.
Thomas P –
Sebastion was EXCELLENT. He was one of the best guides we have ever had.

While planning our port day In Martinique, as well as for 4 other port calls, I turned to TripAdvisor for guidance. We ended up booking the Unmissable Martinique tour through Viator. The tour was arranged with a local company Beyond The Beach. I have nothing but great things to say about the tour and our guide Sebastian. A pretour email was answered promptly and meeting point and departure very smooth and on time. Sebastian gave a very informative and interesting tour of this beautiful island. I only wish we had another day to do their Southern Martinique tour.
AnneB –
Great way to spend the day off the cruise ship. First time in Martinique so we wanted to see a much as we could in one day We arranged with Leslie/Go Beyond
We were met at cruise port. We were given a driver and a tour guide. Both Ladies were very nice of course we interacted more with our guide Anise (spelling?) as she spoke English (and a few other languages too). She made the day very enjoyable!
We saw the rum distillery, 30 min stay at beach, their Basilica, Short easy hike to waterfall and ruins of first capit.

This was a solo trip for me but it there was a group of 5 of us for the northern Martinique tour. We visited a rum factory, ruins from a volcanic eruption, stopped on a black sand beach, drove through a rain forest and saw a waterfall.
Our tour guide Leslie was very informative
MarruA –
A very nice half day excursion
I was lucky to attend the half day tour to the northern parts of Martinique. I had sent message to Gobeyondbeach by FB Messenger, asling for any available tours for a solo traveller, and Leslie kindly kept me on mind, and contacted me when she had a couple that was interested on the same trip too.
We had the pleasure of having lovely Maryam to drive us (very cafefully) around. She spoke fluent English and gave us loads of interesting information of the history, and she was able to answer all of our questions. Was a wonderful tour with breath taking views. She even took us to a second rhum distillery, since the first one was doing renovations and was not offering any tastings. Maryam took very good care of us, she had juice and water cooled for us, and the pace of doing things was very relaxed, and she listened to our wishes and made them true. The car was new and very comfortable, and all and all the tour was well worth the price. I can warmly recommend them, especially if you are not interested in driving yourself on the tiny, curvey roads of Martinique.

We organized a private tour with Beyond the Beach so that we could go at our own pace and pick our own timing of the tour. Our driver/guide Edouard was had lots of knowledge and narrated a lot of the trip with details on what we were seeing and tidbits about Martinique in general. We opted to follow the North Island Tour route so would also recommend this tour even if you book the regular small group tour. The stops were all decent with a drive through the rainforest, stops in St Pierre, a beach stop at Carbet and finally a stop at the Neisson Rum Distillery. St Pierre was really the highlight seeing what was called the “Paris of the Caribbean” until destroyed during the 1902 eruption of the Mount Pelée volcano.

Renee, our driver, and Sebastian, our tour guide thru Beyond the Beach tours, were outstanding. This tour is truly unmissable as advertised. Sebastian was very engaged about giving us information and he really took care of us. He went above and beyond. We left the tour loving the island. This was definitely our favorite stop and tour.
Daniel M –
When visiting Martinique, be sure to think of visiting the north of the island with its black sand beaches.
Keith_W –
Great tour – excellent very personable guide (Akina) who has very good knowledge of the island and its history. Only criticism would be that at the Rum distillery, despite them manufacturing many flavours, they only allowed you to sample one from a choice of two ! Hence we didn’t get to try some of the other (different) flavours – so they lost sales as a result!
Julianne_D –
Highly recommend
Sophie and the driver was excellent. Very knowledgeable but too not pushy. They timed the spots well and we really enjoyed setting the North Shore and the black beach
Kathy_H –
Would highly recommend!
Martinique is a beautiful island. Our tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly. We loved the fact that there were only 18 other tourists. Made the tour more personal. Our driver was a master at handling the winding Martinique roads.
Jim_a –
Well Worth It!!!
Sophie was an exeptional guide, explaining all about the history of Martinique and the current lifestyle. Our bus driver, Jeremy, was very careful, especially on the tight roads. We stopped at the beach and Sophie treated everyone to a rum punch – Martinique style – and cake. Side note to Viator: Our only suggestion is changing the meet-up directions to state “Do not enter the souvenier area” rather than “exit the souvenier area” because there are gathering tents at each end of the souvenier area. It was a bit unclear as to the exact location, and participants had to be corraled from all over.

Great overview of the north end of the island.
Great overview of the north end of the island. Well organized tour, especially appreciated the easy to find tour guide with our names on a sign to begin the tour.

Loved getting to see a large swath of Martinique. Our guide was knowledgeable and answered all our questions.

Unmissable Martinique
Visiting San Pierre where Mt. Pelee erupted and destroyed the city was very interesting. Also the drive through the rainforest was beautiful.
Ian_L –
Excellent excursion
Highly personal tour (only five of us), with entertaining commentary. We saw places that ship’s excursions don’t go and avoided the crowds. Particular highlights were the rum distillery and the ship memorials to the volcanic explosion in St Pierre.
Donna_A –
Our guide was very knowledgeable and the tour covered many different types of attractions. Seeing the ruins that were under the ash from the volcano eruption years ago was really remarkable.
David_K –
Good tour
Carolyn was great as a leader. All the stops were informative and fun. I was disappointed that we did not go into the museum in St Pierre. All the other stops were fun and the beach stop gave us time to visit with everyone.
Sherif_M –
Great tour!

How hist was very nice,…
How hist was very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. We did miss the pickup even though we were at the pickup 20 minutrs before the tine on our ticket. We found a helpful rep at the pickup point who called and got the coach back.
Gary_L –
A tour not to be missed.
Lucile was a superb tour guide giving us so many interesting stories and facts. All the stops were well organized and fun. We hope to come back for a longer visit to the island soon.
Brian_R –
Worth the time and money.
It was a very enjoyable tour. The highlight was probably the distillery. I enjoyed seeing a very pretty island that seems to be very well developed, and we appreciated the good roads. The guide was ver

Stefan was our driver guide and oh boy did he know his stuff! He is a veritable encyclopedia of knowledge ! The tour is exactly as described and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend….next time we visit on a cruise stop we are going to take the South tour with this company..and hope to meet Stefan again.
