Please note that pizza pi is closed during summer months. [links]
During the hike you will see rare plants and many different animals: land crabs, deer, bats, mongoose and the likes. As the trail nears leaves from the sea it passes through a low-lying marshy area. The holes in the earth are land crab holes. You will also see some huge termite nests in trees. After a bit of hiking comes a more flat are, which looks like a dense forest. If you are lucky, you will see deer there. The fresh water provides an environment for shrimp, frogs, small fish, dragonflies and hummingbirds. The different shades of green being reflected in the water look truly amazing. They are surrounded by large, smooth rocks onto which dozens of drawings and symbols have been carved. There is no exact way to confirm they are authentic Taíno carvings but the most popular theory is that they are from pre-columbian inhabitants.
You might also see sea turtles from the boat, the captain usually knows their hot spots. For more sea turtle sightings you can also rent a paddleboard from us and go explore. Lucy will tell you about the best beaches for sea turtle spotting. [links]
From there we will head along the North Shore towards the 300 year old house on Whisling Cay which is rumored to have been a customs house. It is said the Danes tried to blow the whistle on smuggling between British islands and the Danish West Indies by maintaining a Customs House on this Cay where the prevailing winds do indeed whistle. However access to it is not easy, so it could have also been a guard house supplying some shelter for soldiers guarding the passage into the Narrows and the Sir Francis Drake Channel, discouraging escape attempts from slaves. No matter what the purpose was, you will find some great snorkeling there here
Our first stop will typically be the 3 Cays North of St. John, Mingo, Congo, Lovango where you can go snorkeling. Our experienced captains will suggest the best spots based on your experience and preference and the ocean condition. If you are into fishing he might even throw out some lines for you. more
