| There
are a number of local tours available to showcase the beauty
and history of the area. Kayak around the bay or do some exploring
of your own on a river raft built by local fishermen.
Without
a doubt, this is nature at her best with many different species
of birds appearing right off your verandah. The “pawi”
(piping guan), an endangered bird that nests in the Grande
Riviere forest, can sometimes be seen in the wild nutmeg trees
that dot its terrain. Tours to the Bird Sanctuary can be arranged
for the more serious bird watcher. If you want to get out
and see some of the island, we can arrange tours to the Pitch
Lake and other historical areas. Cyril, our resident tour
guide can guide you along different forest trails in search
of the many rare birds, butterflies and wildlife that make
the forest their home.
On
the way back, stop at a secluded beach or waterfall and cool
off with a refreshing swim. Visits to lovely spots such as
“Shark River”
(No sharks in residence) are worth a special trip.
