Tours
From
a trip to Booby Cay, a tiny island just offshore to a Crocodile Safari, there is a large choice of tours.
If
you rent a car you'll naturally use that for land trips, but
it is expensive to keep a car in the car park while you spend
most of your time on the beach. Established tour companies,
for example Tropical Tours Limited, run one, two or three
times a week to eight or nine places. For a couple or a single
person, this is probably the most economical and friendliest
way to go. You may prefer to hire your own little bus and
driver (we recommend Mr. Paul Jerry who has been based here
for 10 years or more and works independently. I have such
faith in him that I have actually allowed him to drive my
car). Then you have more control and can stay as long as you
wish or have side trips to other places of interest. If there
are four to six persons you will probably also save money.
The
following are examples of tours available; the prices quoted
are per person, are quoted by Tropical Tours and are subject
to change.

cost you anything." |

|
Black

and Treasure Beach. |
|
This
is an all day tour by Mr. Jerry which will cost a group
of 4 about $63 each, including entrance fees and lunch.

on the beach. Change the itinerary to suit yourselves.
|
| |
|
Bamboo
Avenue, Appleton Estate (Sugar and Rum), Seaford Town
(German settlement in the 1800's) and Rocklands Bird Sanctuary).
|
|
A
very interesting day out. Discuss this tour with Mr. Jerry
or use your rented car. |
| |
|
You
don't have to book any of these tours much in advance,
which is good because once you are at Secrets you may
decide to put off the tours until your next visit (or
the one after). |
