Eco Packages:

St. Vincent and the Grenadines is truly blessed with the natural beauty and pristine ecology of its environment. It has lush rainforests, a volcano, waterfalls, tropical flowers, plantations, white sand beaches, stunning coral, brightly colored fish, dolphins, whales, deserted islands and islets and of course crystal clear waters.

It is the undiscovered Caribbean, uncommercialised, undeveloped and unspoiled.

No other country in the Caribbean offers so much. We have put together a package to enable nature lovers to explore for themselves some of the natural wonders of this region. From the forest covered slopes of a 4000ft volcano to pristine underwater reefs of a National Marine Park.

Part 1 - St. Vincent

Spend an active 3/4 days exploring the lush rainforests and tropical beauty of the volcanic island that is St. Vincent. While here you will have the option of:

Climbing through the rainforest up to the top of La Souffriere an active volcano that dominates the north of the island. Your guide will identify flora and foliage en route to the rim at 4000ft above sea level. Views of the smoldering cauldron and surrounding islands are awe inspiring. A remarkable testament to the power of Mother Nature.

Hike through the rainforest to Trinity Falls. A series of waterfalls cascading into one an other. Have a swim in the cool and refreshing pool beneath the falls before hiking back out.

Take a trip up the spectacular leeward cost of the Island to the Falls of Baliene, accessible only by boat. These 60-foot falls form a pool at their base ideal for swimming. Stop en route to the falls for some fantastic snorkeling or swimming.

Hike the Vermont Nature Trail. A walk through the protected rainforests of this national park. The well-maintained paths pass through an evergreen forest and then on to a tropical rain forest. Towering ferns, 60-foot bamboo stands, and hardwood forests 100 feet overhead are all standard fare on this extraordinary nature walk. Your guide will point out all of the exotic and tropical flora and fauna on the way. The surrounding forests are home to the rare Vincy Parrot.

Visit the Botanical Gardens the oldest of its kind in the western hemisphere. The Gardens were founded in 1763 as a commercial breeding ground for plants brought from other parts of the world. In fact, these gardens were Captain Bligh's original destination when the mutiny on the HMS Bounty delayed his first scheduled arrival. There is also a small aviary where you can see the rare St. Vincent parrot.

Visit Montreal Gardens a commercial flower and tropical plant farm. The gardens contain a wide range of tropical plants and shaded areas devoted to Anthurium and red ginger production for cut flowers. There is a densely planted colour garden and a formal planted area. Superb views of the coast, plantations and tropical rain forest are available.

Dive or snorkel at some of the most spectacular sites in the Caribbean. You will be overwhelmed by the schools of brightly colored fish, the abundance of colorful sponges and the number of reef creatures. The diving around St. Vincent is renowned for the variety of its marine life. It has become very popular with both professional and amateur underwater photographers.

Part 2 - Union Island - Tobago Cays

Unwind a little after the activity of the previous days and relax at Bigsands a modern and comfortable hotel situated right on the beach on Union Island. This will be your base as you explore the coral reefs of the Tobago Cays National Marine Park. Spend a couple of days relaxing on the beach or enjoying the selection of watersports available. Take a day trip to the magnificent Tobago Cays an National Marine Park. A stunning coral reef teaming with marine life.
