The Daytime Tour
The tour takes you through the touristic village of West End, located right at the water's edge, where the street is lined with all sorts of flowering shrubs - hibiscus, mandeville, bougainvillea, oleander... Then it is on to a long stretch of secluded beach, with a myriad of fruit trees on one hand and the crystal ocean on the other. The tour concludes with a stroll through the lush vegetation of the hills, where you will see lizards, birds, and orchids. The tour lasts between 1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on your gait. The cost is US$35 per person.
Full Moon Ride
Photographers, artists and admirers of the natural world will appreciate this magical ride. The island is bathed in a rosy-orange glow as the sun sinks into the ocean. When the sunlight wanes, it is supplanted by the bright moonlight, and the island takes on a different palette. With the absence of street lights, the night sky sparkles with an abundance of stars "city folk" rarely get to see. Sounds become more pronounced; the songs of frogs and crickets fill the air, along with the steady clop of the horses' hooves.
