Garden lovers unite for this tour that takes you to the historic Church of Balata, nestled within a tropical forest, and romantic Balata Botanical Garden. Board your transportation and begin with a drive along Fleming Bay to the church, a Roman-Byzantine structure. Built in 1925, it is surrounded by picturesque grounds with sweeping views of Fort-de-France and the countryside. Continue on to Balata Botanical Garden. Stroll among the more than 3,000 varieties of tropical blooms and check out the grounds house, which holds more than 300 types of palm trees. One of the best botanical gardens in the Caribbean, this magically serene place features tranquil ponds punctuated with lotus blossoms. Your self guided tour includes a visit to the reception hall, housed in a lovingly restored Creole house and a stop at the gift shop. Return to port via a route show casing the charming colonial homes in the area.
