A tour of the island in search of birds, history and shopping

Our main goal was to go birding while touring the island and to find a nice beach for snorkeling. However, snorkeling was out because it rained most of the day and the water was too rough. We had a fabulous time in-spite of the weather. Our tour guides Vivian & Juvira from Rumba Tours were wonderful and they were able to spot birds quicker than we could. Juvira was amazing as she maneuvered the winding roads and was still able to spot the birds!!
