Tropical garden and banana plantation at the Banana Museum

In Sainte-Marie, in northern Martinique, the tropical garden at the Banana Museum offers a pleasant stroll through a real banana plantation. Set on the grounds of Habitation Limbé, a former 18th-century sugar plantation, this 2-hectare park showcases a remarkable collection of banana trees and magnificent tropical plants. It is the ideal nature walk for gaining a better understanding of the world of banana cultivation in Martinique.

A unique banana plantation in Martinique:
The garden brings together more than 60 varieties of banana trees from all over the world. Some have surprising shapes, colours and names. Along the way, you can see:
• Kankanbou
• Makandja
• Figue Rose
• Benedetta
• Pisang Lilin
• Gross Famm
• and Banane Pis, the only variety endemic to Martinique.
Information panels line the path, allowing visitors to discover the characteristics of each variety. Visitors are free to explore at their own pace.

A rich and colourful tropical garden
Lush tropical vegetation grows around the banana trees, adding to the charm of the site.
You will discover:
• coffee trees
• cocoa trees
• breadfruit trees
• pineapples
• alpinias
• heliconias pendula
• and magnificent porcelain roses.
The walk winds through a hilly landscape dotted with shaded kiosks, while the Pierrot River brings a pleasant feeling of freshness to this tropical stroll.

Discover the banana plantation by buggy
For those who wish to extend the experience, the estate also offers a guided buggy tour through the plantation. This excursion allows you to travel along the estate's agricultural paths and take a closer look at the banana crops while discovering the production techniques used in Martinique.
An original activity that complements a visit to the tropical garden.

Opening hours: closes at 5 p.m. – last admission at 4 p.m.
