This private tour typically includes transportation and guide time; check booking details—some park or cabana fees, and lunch, are often extra and paid locally.
Fern Gully is a short drive/stop rather than a long hike—expect minimal walking on paved or level paths; the Blue Hole segment involves uneven, wet terrain and short climbs over rocks.
Bamboo Blu offers calm water for swimming and light snorkeling from shore; bring your own mask or check if rentals are available at the beach.
Fern Gully formed after the road cut through a deep ravine, exposing rare fern species; St. Ann parish has longstanding fishing and agricultural traditions and is near Columbus’s early landing sites.
