Description:
Board one of our jeeps for an exciting half-day of
fun. After a short drive on the scenic main road you
arrive at a lush valley fully planted with bananas: St.
Lucia’s main agricultural export. From there we leave
modern civilization behind and we commence our “Jungle
Journey” through rural countryside.
You
may get a chance to sample local fare including
refreshing coconut water and other fruit in season. The
scenery is peaceful yet exciting as the road winds
upward. The view will take your breath away and weather
permitting you will be able to see the tallest mountain
in St. Lucia, Morne Gimie, standing at a commanding
3,200 feet tall.
The
next stop is for a fifteen-minute hike (either way) to a
beautiful waterfall surrounded by lush vegetation before
proceeding to a natural river pool for a refreshing
swim. It is then on to the fishing village of Anse la
Raye where restroom facilities are available. Take a few
minutes and explore the village visiting the historic
Roman Catholic Church or the waterfront where you may
get a chance to see fishermen taking in the catch of the
day. From there, it’s back to the jeeps for a half an
hour scenic return trip. (Your jeeps come stocked with
soft drinks, water and rumpunch or beers.)
Option: This tour is also available as a full day
with lunch at Marigot Bay and a beach stop.
Remarks: This tour
is over uneven terrain; it is for the moderately fit;
not suitable for the very young, infirm, people with
heart conditions, (though they can opt to remain on the
jeep during the hike) or pregnant women. Please wear
sturdy shoes or trainers and be prepared to get them
wet!! Seat belts must be worn at all times while on the
jeep. |
