Owia Salt Pond Tour with Fraser's Taxi and Tours

Unser Ausflug wurde aufgrund geringer Zahl an Teilnehmern einen Tag vorher abgesagt. Wir haben beim gleichen Veranstalter dann einen anderen Ausflug gebucht. Dieser war etwa 30,00 Euro günstiger. Auf eine Erstattung warte ich trotz Zusagen bis heute, also seit mehr als zwei Monaten. Ich kann daher nur davon abraten bei diesem Veranstalter im Voraus zu zahlen. Auch sollte man beachten ob Eintrittskarten im Preis enthalten sind, wir mussten den Eintritt am Wasserfall zusätzlich bezahlen. Leider haben wir erst später festgestellt, dass die Eintrittskarten im Ausflugspreis enthalten waren.

We travelled with Fraser Taxi & Tours on St. Vincent at the end of December 2022. Fraser operates two luxury minivans, a 6-seater and a 7-seater, and a minibus. We travelled in the 6 seater on the east coast. Points on the beautiful tour - Island capital Kingstown - Belmont Lookout - Mesopotamia Valley - Black Point Tunnel - former island capital Georgetown - Rabacca Dry River The highlight was swimming in the Owia Salt Pond. Framed by volcanic rocks, swimming in the "private pool" was simply fantastic. Before the swim, we had a snack in the park above the bathing area. There were also showers and changing rooms. We can only recommend the tour with Fraser. Our next tour in April is already booked. See you in paradise

We booked this tour directly with Fraser +1 (784) 530-8138 who took us on a magnificent tour to the Owia Salt Ponds via the Montreal Gardens and then onto the Black Point Tunnel. The Owia Salt Ponds are an idyllic place to swim and also picnic in the park and garden above the ponds. Fraser had arranged for a local lunch to be provided, this was delicious. The salt ponds are accessed down almost 200 steps that lead you to the beach and then the ponds. The sea was pretty calm when we were there, but guess it’s more spectacular if the Atlantic waves are crashing against the rocks that protect the salt ponds keeping it a safe place to swim. This is the second tour we have been on with Frazer (see our review for La Soufriere). There were only “4 tourists” giving us plenty of space in his luxury mini-bus. Throughout the day Frazer continued to point out places of interest and occasionally stopped so that we could get out and take in the spectacular views. Frazer gave us a commentary throughout the tour enlightening us about what we saw whether a building, farming, beach, rainforest or garden. He answered our questions on any topic that we asked and shared his love of the island. He made sure we were well looked after throughout the day. We highly recommend Frazer not simply because he is an amazingly knowledgeable and personable tour guide, but because he goes over and above our expectations in many ways; the best example was that he had a bag of water shoes and offered them to us to make the walk down to the salt ponds, across the rocks and into the water both safe and comfortable; that’s on top of the goodies he offers throughout the day from his cold-box.
