Your scenic delights begin as you wend your way through the hills and villages 2,000 feet into the St Lucian mountains.
At the Rainforest Sky Rides Base, you’ll embark on a fabulous Aerial Tram ride through the forest canopy. The 16 open-air gondolas seat up to 8 passengers and a naturalist guide, travelling at a leisurely pace to see the forest treasures.
Venture high into the mature Caribbean oceanic rainforest, nurtured by warm gentle rains and rich volcanic soil. Relax as the gondolas safely glide through and over the treetops, where knotted and woody vines wind to the top of the old forest trees.
See the dense thickets of vegetation merging with the wild flowers and colourful berries. Smell the fragrant flowering trees of Giant Chatannier, Magnolia and Gommier.
After experiencing the forest from above, you’ll take a 20-30 minute walk to explore the forest at ground level.
Before leaving, enjoy a refreshing drink at the Hummingbird Café.
