About This Experience
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Always wanted to visit Paria but want to avoid the strenuous hike? Well you’re in luck! We’ll be taking you there for a full day of relaxing and bathing BY BOAT!
Paria Bay & waterfall is a definite bucket list item! Come enjoy the majestic views of famous Cathedral Rock, walk along the lustrous Paria Bay beach and enjoy a refreshing dip in the gorgeous plunge pool that the Paria Waterfall cascades into.
Is Paria by boat is right for you?
Here’s some more info. There are only 2 ways to get to Paria. A strenuous 2-3 hour hike either from Blanchisseuse or Brasso Seco or a 20-30 mins baotride. The only boats that go to Paria Bay are fishing boats. This is what we will be taking. We always choose Blanchisseuse’s most experienced boatmen for these trip and they always deliver on safety. Your will be assigned a US Coast guard certified personal lifejacket for the day which MUST be worn on the boat both going & coming. If you are extremely fearful of boats and boatrides or get extremely sea sick, this trip is not for you.
We are limited for space & weight on the boat so large coolers are not allowed. Small cooler bags are welcomed. All usual Palance868 hiking rules apply. Alcohol and smoking of illicit substances is not allowed as it becomes an added risk to manage and ensure that all persons stay within their tolerance limit. Therefore, we expect persons to be fully sober going and coming to prevent any unnecessary complications.
Departing early ensures we get the seas as calm as possible.
This trip is subject to the seas being favourable for this trip so if we have any tough seas bulletins or the boatman experiences bad sea conditions the day before, this event will be cancelled/postponed and full refunds issued accordingly.
For proper accountability & group size control, a booking is required for all our events.
