Ay-Ay Eco Hike & Tours: Educational Walking Tours — Cultural-Historical-Ethno-Botanical

Ras Lamumba is a master Gardner, Herbalist, Naturalist, and Environmentalist. In 1978, Ras Lamumba began conducting tours, teaching gardening and the use of medicinal plants of the Rain Forest. Each Eco Hike will include a rambling informal lecture based on the species actually encountered, their properties (both actual and legendary) and the Latin names as well as the more colorful appellations by which they are known in the Caribbean. You will also get a bit of history and island culture and folklore as Ras Lamumba traverses the hiking paths.

An exceptional area of St. Croix is the Northwest environment. Here, the natural and cultural history of the island comes alive. Hiking down the mountainside to Annaly Bay is fairly steep in some areas. The environment encompasses a moist forest, valleys, slopes, rocky shoreline, and small and large tidal pools or saltwater baths.
