Down D' Islands Tour - Chacachacare

Board the “Island Prince” vessel, and sail from Crews Inn Chaguaramas to the Chacachacare Island. Enjoy a sterling account of the history of Hart’s Cut, Staubles Bay, Tetron Bay, the Bocas, Monos Island, Huevos Island, and Gasper Grande Island on the journey. On arrival at the popular “La Tinta Bay” the view of Venezuela provides the perfect background before preparing for the hike to the Northern part of the island.

This walk is quite challenging but pleasurable. Take the adventurous walk from La Tinta to “Rust Bay” where many overgrown trees, branches and stone walkways that have been eroded by the constant bashing of the waves from the sea, form part of the prominent trail.

For those who love getting an insight into history then the Chacachacare hike is perfect for them as there are many features of interest throughout the hike. For example, there are many abandoned houses, some of which accommodated the lepers, a church; there is the old laundry room, hospital and other abandoned buildings. Once at Rust Bay, enjoy both swimming and relaxation until it is time to return to “La Tinta Bay” and re-join those who chose to remain.
