Excursion Hiking at sage mountain & relax at the beach tour at Tortola Island

Experience the scenic natural splendour of Tortola from two unique perspectives during this panoramic, half-day sightseeing excursion to Sage Mountain and Cane Garden Bay.

Tortola, Sage Mountain National Park

Depart from the pier in an open-air safari bus for a meandering drive, inland-and-upward, to verdant Sage Mountain National Park. Established in 1964, the park supports many of the island's rare and endangered species, especially those that thrive at higher elevations, as most of the park is at least 1,000 feet (about 305 metres) above sea level. At 1,780 feet (about 542 metres), Sage Mountain stands as the highest point in both the British and U.S. Virgin Islands.

Forest, Narrated Nature Hike, Flora and Fauna, Panoramic Views

Upon arrival, join your guide for a pleasant nature hike through the forest. Along the way, see towering bullet wood trees, the oddly-named, but scentless, stinking fish trees and morning doves, the national bird of Tortola. In addition, you are treated to spectacular panoramic vistas, and an informative narrative about the flora and fauna found in the park.

Cane Garden Bay, Free Time, Beach, Myett's Bar, Shopping

Following your tour, re-board your safari bus and head to popular Cane Garden Bay, which lies on the north shore of the island. The bay's stunningly beautiful setting attracts sailors, sunbathers, water sports enthusiasts and even horseback riders. Upon arrival at this carefree and relaxing enclave, some free time is made available to lounge about in the shade of a palm, take a stroll along the shoreline, swim at the white-sand beach at Cane Garden Bay, linger over a complimentary tropical beverage at Myett's beachfront bar, and/or browse for souvenirs. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your safari bus and commence the approximately 30-minute drive along the scenic Sir Francis Drake Channel en route to the pier.
