How many to visit: I advise one major attraction per day, with a second small one only if it’s close. Roughly 6 to 8 across a week to ten days is plenty. Rain, heat and winding roads shrink days faster than the map suggests, and rushing costs you the best light and the best weather, which come early.Which kind to prioritize: Hikers and nature lovers should put the rainforest and volcano first, since it is cheap and the main thing you can’t get elsewhere. Beach seekers get the most from the outer islands and Grande-Terre, where a day of sand costs nothing but transport. If you care about history, pick one plantation or memorial site rather than several, because they overlap. Boat trips cost more and take half a day, but snorkeling or a reef excursion is worth the splurge once.Budget: Expect … read more 👉

How many to visit: I advise one major attraction per day, with a second small one only if it’s close. Roughly 6 to 8 across a week to ten days is plenty.

Boat trips cost more and take half a day, but snorkeling or a reef excursion is worth the splurge once.Budget: Expect €60 to 110 a day for a backpacker who cooks some meals and shares a car. Entry fees are often free for natural sites; museums and distilleries run about €5 to 15; guided hikes, boat or snorkel tours around €30 to 70. Parking is usually free, but fuel and rental (about €35 to 60 a day) are the real cost, and ferries run roughly €15 to 40 return. A shared car is the best value by far.Safety and culture: Waterfall and river pools can rise quickly after rain, so check levels and skip swimming after downpours. Volcano summits get cold and cloudy, so carry a shell and water. Leave nothing visible in a parked car at trailheads and beaches. Greet people with “bonjour” before asking anything, which opens doors. Many sites that tell the history of slavery are solemn places, so dress and behave accordingly. Stick to marked paths in the national park, and don’t take plants or shells.
