Open-air gondolas, accompanied by a naturalist guide provide the one and only access to the upper layers of the rainforest. Ascending through the middle layer of the rainforest you will enjoy the fauna and flora.  The Aerial Tram Tour will transport you up and away from the heat and bustle of the lowlands to an ecological park located in the heights of St Lucia’s forest reserve.  Sixteen open-air gondolas ascend noiselessly through the rainforest, offering you a magical view of nature in its majesty – towering gommiers, impressive chatanniers, and the remarkable phenomenon of the strangler ficus, alighted upon by playful hummingbirds and banana quits.  An experienced Nature Interpreter will point out giant ferns and magnificent heliconia, and identify the calls and the plumage of the birdlife that makes the Caribbean Oceanic forest its home.  The descent will afford you a bird’s eye view of the forest and a spectacular panoramic vista of the north of the island.  With much to see and listen for, the tram ride will be a celebration of color and life and a restorative retreat guaranteed to refresh the senses.   

Please note:  Depending on traffic, the drive to the tram is about 40 minutes, and persons prone to motion sickness are asked to take the necessary precautions prior to the tour. Wear comfortable walking shoes for the trail. The walk after the Aerial Tram is optional. No high heels, sandals or flip flops are allowed.  Bring sun protection, insect repellent, a camera and binoculars. The Aerial Tram is for all ages and fitness levels but is not wheelchair accessible.

You will hop into the back of one of the covered vans that are the signature mode of transportation on the island of Bequia. Drive through the main town of Port Elizabeth to head to Fort Hamilton, an old fort 300 ft. above sea level where you will enjoy a magnificent view over Admiralty Bay.  You will see the cannon used by the French centuries ago in their war against the British. Mount Pleasant is your next stop. On this hill you will enjoy magnificent views of homes and the bays that surround the island.  Moving along the Atlantic shoreline into Industry Bay you will visit The Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary for a guided tour by Orton King, who spends his time tending to the endangered Hawksbill sea turtles from birth until they are ready to go back into the sea.  Then head back down to the harbor, to your waiting yacht.  

Please note: Bring sunscreen and wear comfortable walking shoes.

What better way to enjoy the Caribbean than to engage in what the area is best known for! A coastal scenic trip and a bit of snorkeling are just the right combination to provide some adventure. You will climb aboard an adventure power boat and set off towards one of the island’s snorkel sites. See tiny shellfish in their natural habitat and watch the schools of fish dart playfully around you. After a while in the water you will return to your boat where the Captain’s famous rum punch will be served. Enjoy the scenery as you sip on your beverage and your boat takes you back to the pier and your waiting yacht.

Please note:  Wear your swimsuit under your clothing and bring a towel.  You may stay on board and enjoy the atmosphere if you choose not to snorkel.
