Glass Bottom Boat Day
Trip
Coral Reef & Waterfall Tour
Our resort driver will take you to Speyside, departure time is 8:30am. Take a scenic drive across to Scarborough and up the Windward coast, through seaside villages with picturesque views. Upon arrival at your destination, you will be taken on a glass-bottomed boat to Angel Reef. Snorkeling equipment will be provided. Whether or not you choose to snorkel, the glass bottom boat is a window to the beauty of the undersea world.
Return to find your driver waiting to whisk you off to a picnic lunch at the famous Argyle Falls, hidden a fifteen minute hike up the river’s edge. Relax and swim in the refreshingly cool waters.
Then, begin your return trip through the world’s oldest protected rainforest, our own Main Ridge Forest Reserve. Drive through lush vegetation and feel the temperature drop as you climb into the mountains. Stop at the lookout to see the spectacular view of the Sisters spread out on a blanket of glittering blue sea. Continue along through the preserve to the building that marks the beginning of the Gilpin Trail, one of our most popular rainforest hikes. Keep an eye open for brilliant green iguana, which may make an appearance along the way. You may also see pairs of parrots flying overhead.
Return to Footprints along the north coast, through the scenic fishing villages of Parlatuvier and Castara.
Culloden Reef Explorer
(Availability subject to tides and conditions)
Our Managing Director, Mia, will take you to the unspoiled Culloden Reef, just offshore of the resort. For the beginners, you begin by reviewing the basics - equipment and safety, and everyone gets a refresher course on "reef manners", do’s and don’ts while visitors to the undersea world. Once you’re comfortable, we hit the open sea.
The unique formation of Culloden Reef supports a wide variety of marine life. Stay close to Mia, as she can point out many of the reef’s more unusual inhabitants. Fishes and corals abound, there’s sponges and sea fans to see, and if you dare, imitate a shark and lead a barracuda dance!
When you return, you and Mia leaf through the books and put together your own snorkeling log of all the species you saw during your visit.
Highlights of Tobago
Depart Footprints at 9:30 and head past Scarborough to one of Tobago’s former Bay Leaf Plantations. Gain a unique perspective of the island from atop French Fort. Learn about the island’s history and culture during a visit to the Tobago Museum and Fort King George. Stop at a delightful gift shop in the heart of the Capital for the opportunity to purchase beautiful local items, memories you can take home with you.
Enjoy a picnic lunch in the haven of the Botanical Gardens, then we head off to Plymouth to visit the Mystery Tombstone and Fort James. Stop for a cooling drink at the Arnos Vale Waterwheel, and explore the ruins of this 18th century reminder of the glory days of the sugar plantations.
