Nowadays the fare is 5$ per person for both forts. They wont sell anymore separate tickets.

Low fare option - Posada San Francisco. Excellent location in the old town, right next to the pier. Nothing fancy, but ok for one night stay. Room was 71,50$ one week ago.

It was ok tour, but the there was not enough time in the sights. It was quite a rush to continue the tour and the beach time was only one hour. The island was different than the other Caribbean islands (poorer), but it was still a quite nice experience. I can recommend this tour.

What an excellect tour! It is quite expensive (100$) but this tour was the the best experience in our cruice. It is pretty cool to go to the Pitons by a speed boat. It might be a hard ride if you have health problems, but a normal people can make it. The costline is really beautiful from the sea and the beach right next to the Pitons is the best I have seen in the Caribbean. Lunch was nothing special but they offer free beer and a rum punch after lunch.

I think that you can avoid the problem by taking the boat back to the ship from the Anse Mitan pier instead of Pointe de bout. It was a mistake to walk back to Pointe de bout and hopefully this thread helps others with this issue.

We just came back from Carnival Glory cruise and one stop was Anse Mitan beach in Martinique. There is one thing which nobody haven't noticed. When you want to come back from Pointe du bout in peak time, there are so much people that more than half of them couldn't fit in the boat. What makes it even worse, there are no clear line area, you have to be in direct sun shine and locals are pushing the tourists to go straight in front of the line. Our waiting time was over an hour and it was real mayhem there because of the locals. Everybody was angry.

This could really be a disaster if you have a thight schedule to come back from the beach. It is a long ride by Taxi, which is quite expensive.

Beach itself was nice altought the service was very rude in the beach restaurant. Overall, Martinique is place where I hopefully won't have to come back ever again. There are so many better ports in the Caribbean.
