ATV Jungle adventure



The Reef Kite + Surf team spent a day out with Kurt of ATV Paradise tours exploring Fond Estate on the east coast of St Lucia.This is an amazing ATV tour of what was once a fully-working plantation (some of the cultivation has now been cut back) and the approx. 4-hour tour covers 14 miles on existing plantation roads. The route takes you through fruit orchards, banana plantations, rain forest and mangrove to a secluded atlantic beach.



En-route Kurt treated us to a feast of fruits picked straight off the trees, and the swim in the cool forest river was the highlight of the trip.



You can book the trip through the Kite + Surf centre if you'd like to experience this natural side of St Lucia. More pics in the gallery.
