great place for family picnics, annual jazz festivities, folk festivals, horseback riding, and hiking along two
miles of nature trails.
Jeep Tour
Guided Jeep tours offer an exhilarating off-road adventure. Safari across a tropical landscape, through
rainforests and over banana plantations. Ride in an open-air vehicle on whole or half day adventures.
Customized tours are often available.
The Rainforest Canopy Tour
Just west of Dennery this rainforest tour combines an open air Jeep tour with an invigorating zip line.
A true adventure. The zip line offers 500 feet of suspended cable running from one tree platform to the
next, 30 to 50 feet above the forest floor, with several platforms to travel. Soak up the rainforest from land
and canopy with this adrenaline rush.
Dennery - Must See
Dennery is a town and a quarter located on the east, or windward, coast of the island. Primarily a
small fishing town, locals also cultivate lima beans, bananas, and other tropical fruit.
Dennery is home of a local wine maker who ferments everything from bananas to coconuts for
his wine making.
A few miles off shore and south of Dennery lays the Frégate Islands Nature Reserve, a protected
area where Frigate birds nest during the summer.
Dennery Fish Festival
After a week on the seas, the picturesque fishing village of Dennery puts its catch of the day
on sale every Saturday. Patrons are treated to a variety of local fare while enjoying authentic
Caribbean music in the open air.
