River Harvest Eco Tour

OVERVIEW

Ride through the countryside in Jeep made for adventure and become immersed in rural life at a farm in the rainforest. Not far outside of Castries, you will pause to take in the gorgeous views of the capital from atop the hill Morne Fortune. An immensely scenic drive south will bring you to Horizon Cocktails, where you will enjoy another sweeping view of St. Lucia’s natural beauty before heading off the beaten path toward the village of Canaries. Expect an exhilarating ride as you will travel off road, ford mountain streams and race through the forest before coming to the isolated farm Tony’s Place. In this idyllic setting, you will see how tropical fruits such as mangoes and coconuts are harvested and sample them right off the trees. Feel free to soak your feet in the cool waters of the river before taking off to the chocolate factory Cacoa St. Lucie for a lunch of dishes infused with cocoa.
