Description : This fantastic day begins with a visit to Fort Charlotte , the Black Caribs Museum and Heritage Hall . Then we take you for a scenic coastal drive alongside the Atlantic Ocean . The road passes through the Byera Tunnel, which was built to open up Carib lands to settlement. You will pass the spectacular Rabacca River filled with volcanic sand and stones. The river drains the eastern slopes of La Soufrière and Mount Brisbane . You will pass through Orange Hill's banana and coconut plantations. At the north-western tip of the island are the villages where the Carib settled following the Carib Wars. These picturesque villages are still home to a large number of Vincentians of Carib descent. In Sandy Bay , you will be welcome by some Carib Indians who will offer you to share, the time of your visit, their culture and traditions. You will learn what is arrowroot, how it is made and what it is used for. You will reach then, Owia Salt Pond. Here, the Atlantic Ocean cascades over lava peaks and ridges into a large bathing pool with a breathtaking view of the mountains in the background. Then off for a swim in the pond's crystalline waters. You will enjoy a typical Carib cuisine lunch. Return will be about 4:00 pm . Itinerary Map : click here
