1. Rainforest Tour- Jeep Safari Explorer
An
absolute must when you visit. It is a true experience of the rainforest and her
waterfalls. It is a tour with well informed guides who can offer a true experience of our
people and our island.
The tour begins with an informative drive, through to the Cul
de Sac and then into the Rainforest. Spectacular views of the Valley and the banana
plantations strech out for miles before you
and your first stop is to enjoy the abundance of fresh fruit that is grown here -
succulent pineapple, crunchy coconut and delicious bananas all just freshly picked.
A birds eye view of the tallest mountain stretches before you.
You journey on deep into the rainforest and stop for a long walk along a river towards a
fabulous waterfall...
Your
guide informs you of plants and trees, and you may be lucky to encounter a snake or two
resting on a Mangoe Tree branch. At all times you are safe in the care of the guides. A
dip in the two small cool pools in the river immediately refreshes you. You need to wear
sturdy shoes or trainers and be prepared to get them wet!
With a cooler on board packed with refreshments, and a cooler
from Roseline with soft drinks as you wish is available to you all day. You then go onto an Estate, a truly
intrigueing experience of how life must have been on a working Sugar Plantation. A
delicious buffet awaits you. Then on to a beach for some snorkeling or join in beach games
organized by your guides.
(Prices:
Adults US$000, Kids US$000 each)
2. The Island
Not to be missed - especially if you have children with you.
The museum takes you back in time to the creation, the time of the Indians and through the
history of 14 battles between the French and the British.
The climb up to the Fort is not a difficult one - the views
that await you at the top are well worth the climb.
There are 2 restaurants on the Island that serve lunch and
refreshements. However the food tends to be very expensive and not that great. We highly
recommend getting a delicious picnic which you can enjoy on the Island after your climb.
Just leave the coolers in the jeep until you have finished your climb and ask at the gate
to be allowed out to collect them.
There is a small beach on the Island which is great to relax
on. Very calm waters, which is great for the kids.
Tip: - A good idea is to have us us check the days that cruise
ships are due in to avoid as their passengers do flock to the Island in the hundreds!
3. By boat
A day out with Duke and his fast speedboat. A truly enjoyable
day and an easy relaxing way to see.
While driving by jeep is a very enjoyable scenic drive it, can
be very exhausting, particularly with children - we highly recommend a day with Duke.
Both adults and children will marvel at the caves along the
coast filled with bats - yuk!
Duke shows you the fishing villages on the way to Soufriere
and takes you through the Bay where you can imagine the British fleet frantically
strapping coconut palms to the masks of their vessels to hide from the French fleet as it
sailed past, unaware of the secret attack that they would launch on them from behind as
they sailed past the Bay.
Duke takes you on where we recommend you pre-arrange with Ross
to organise for Ben to meet you and take you to see the sites.
You will visit our famous open air volcano and climb to a
spectacular waterfall and bathe in the refreshing cold waters in the rainforest.
This boat trip is a very relaxing way to see all the wonders.
Ben is a wonderful and informative tour guide.
Now it is back to the boat, and off to the beach for a swim
and some wonderful snorkeling - masks, snorkels and flippers are all provided by Duke on
the boat, even for the Kids.
Enjoy your picnic lunch on the boat or on the beach. This tour
will be a very memorable day.
(Price
range approximately US$0000)
