Hallo zusammen,
da uns das "> Ausflugsprogramm nicht so ganz zugesagt hat, haben wir einen lokalen Veranstalter angeschrieben.
Er bietet eine spannende Tour an (siehe unten)
Wer wäre mit dabei? Die Tour findet nur bei einer bestimmten Personenanzahl statt:
Roseau Valley Best hike (wet tour)
Middleham Falls: One of the tallest waterfalls on the Island. The hike to this waterfall is about 45 minutes to1 hour one way (1.5 -1.8 miles each way), walking through part of the Island lush rain forest (trail gets muddy when it rains a day or two before). For the first 20- 25 minutes you would be climbing up steps (steep), which is the most difficult part of the hike/tour. From then it is mainly flat and downhill, with a little uphill until you get to the waterfall. There are some rocky and slippery areas on your way to the waterfall. There is a huge pool at the base of the waterfall with fresh, clean, cold water which will be tempting you to get in. (not the easiest pool to get into). Trail is a bit strenuous, rugged and slippery in some areas. Must be in good shape to do this hike.
Titou Gorge: One of the most unique areas on the Island and it's also a spot where part of Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 was filmed. Like just about all fresh water swimming areas on the Island, The water at Titou Gorge is a bit cold. To enjoy the gorge you would have to take the short swim (about 2 minutes) up a cave like area (you do not swim under water). The swim is about 100 feet and the water is about 10 feet deep at its deepest point, but it’s only about waist high when you get to the middle of the cave-Like area. There is a small waterfall one can swim to, if the water is not flowing too heavy (must do). One can also climb the waterfall (5 feet) to get to another waterfall but has to be very athletic since you have to jump about 6 feet out into the water on your way down to avoid a ledge in the water. This part is not for everyone and is optional even if you can make the jump. (There is an easy 5-7 minutes walk to Titou Gorge). We provide swim belts to all our guests.
*Trafalgar Falls: (two waterfalls in the same area) 10 minutes walk one way up a few steps. The walk is not too difficult but can be a bit challenging if one has any major problems with their backs, legs, hips or if one is short in breath due to lungs or heart condition. After the ten minutes walk, you get to a platform where you and view the waterfalls and take photos. There is an optional (not for everyone) extra two minutes walk to you the hot mineral water where you could take a soak. Visitors should take their time walking to and around the hot spring since the area is a bit rocky, slippery and steep. Climbing to the base of the waterfall should be avoided as much as possible because of the danger involved.
Optional Extra (no added cost if this is done) *Champagne Reef: One of the most unique snorkeling areas in the eastern Caribbean. Take a short 5 minutes walk to the end of the stony beach, until you get to a cliff where you will gear up, walk in and begin a very different under water experience. You will be swimming in bubbles like you were in a giant aquarium. If you do not have snorkel gears, we now rent it a $5.00us per set (complete snorkel set with fins). If you would like to rent from us, please let us know your size since we do not carry all sizes. If we do not carry your size, it could be rented at champagne at $12.00us a set. (Optional, and depends on how long our guest takes on the hikes).
This will be done only if there is enough time, most people get/choose to do it when there's time and your guide will let you know if it can be done.
This is a great tour/hike (my personal favorite) but can be a bit challenging if one has any difficulty with their backs, legs, hips or if one is short in breath due to lungs or heart condition and not in good physical shape, they should not attempt this tour.
The duration of this tour is about 6 to 7 hours and cost $60.00us per person (adult) and $50.00us children 14 and under. This tour is not suitable for children under the age of 10.
You pay for the tour after it has been completed, with cash or travellers cheques (US dollars).
NB: Site passes will be provided, you do not have to go stand in line to purchase site passes.
There will be complementary local (kubuli) beers, soft-drinks and local bottled water on the tour.
Recommendations:
• Wear a good pair of waterproof strapped sandals. (eg. Keens)
• Swim suits and towels
• Bring along A light snack and or some fruits (we do not provide lunch)
• Waterproof digital camera would be great for this tour
