The Experience
Booking Code: POS5003

Duration 3 days

The first part will be driven with the car to continue a nice ride on the sea to finally reach our destination. In time to get ready for the superlative excitement - the watching of the turtles.

This experience is amazing. When you stand in the dark night under the watching stars and see how a huge leather back turtle comes out of the water to look for an appropriate place to nest. You are quiet; you don’t move – you are even too afraid to breathe. Then finally the turtle got her right spot and she starts to dig deep into the sand. This is the moment you catch to have a closer look. Finally when the whole is deep enough she will start to lay the eggs into the whole and covers them up after she is done. Then she will leave to go back into the water – because her hard work is done. We will just move to the next one to repeat this amazing event until we get tired.

Next morning we will start our day relaxed with some free time until we start our hike into the bush. After a nice hike through the new terrain we will build our tree house to sleep for the night.

On the last morning we will hike back to the Hotel to refresh ourselves and get ready for the boat ride back to the car.

Price on request including boat fee, accommodation, food, fees and refreshments.

Double Rivers Waterfall Mountain Bike Tour
Booking Code: POS5006

Duration: approximately 3.5 – 5 hours plus transport

Level of difficulty: Medium to Challenging
(recommended for accustomed rider with a fair fitness level)

Double Rivers waterfall is nestled in the Northern Range and close to the rustic, agricultural village of Brasso Seco. Our riding trail was once used as a utility road by the French and Spanish during the 19th and early 20th centuries for their workers to transport various crops like cocoa, bananas and plantains. Before such times, it was a trail that the Amerindians used to connect their villages/settlements. Today what we ride on is a dilapidated road surface that eventually falls into an off-road trail. The trail is very undulating and can become very muddy during the rainy season (June- Nov) which makes it challenging. However, it is very picturesque as we ride through old cocoa estates and lush green forest that line the mountain sides.
Once at the river, we park our bikes and take a 15 minutes’ walk to an amazing 25 meter waterfall with a safe plunge pool at its base for swimming in pristine, forest surroundings. (Riding Time: approx 1.5 – 2 hours)

Price: US $ 100 per person including local lunch.
