Informationn from Independent Tours in Martinique

Independent Tours
Independent tours are conducted in the company of one of the local taxi drivers, all of whom speak English and have air-conditioned quality vehicles ranging from a 4-seater Mercedes to a 9-seater people carrier. Independent tours offer a degree of flexibility within the itinerary to stop for photos or to get a snack. And you can ask as many questions as you like!

There are several tours described on the above noted page.
Here's what is says about one of them

Château Dubuc and La Caravelle Nature Trail

The ruins of Château Dubuc, home to one of the earliest settlers on Martinique, lie on the eastern peninsula of La Caravelle, one of the most ancient areas of the island. Spend a few minutes examining the ruins and the beautiful views over the rugged coastline of the Atlantic Ocean, then walk to the entrance of the nature trail which has been laid out through the mangrove trees. A one-hour walk lets you see a wide selection of the plants and animals that live on the island. You definitely must bring sun screen, a hat, and some drinking water.

Château Dubuc and Beach at La Caravelle

Another way to visit the ruins of Château Dubuc and peninsula of La Caravelle, then head off in a taxi to Tartane beach to work on your tan, have a swim, laze around. There are snack facilities and mini-golf at the beach. (Food and mini-golf not included in tour price).
