Welcome To Montserrat Jet And Helicopter Charter Services
Long known as the Caribbean’s Emerald Isle for its Irish heritage and lush rainforests, Montserrat welcomes visitors with a green shamrock-shaped stamp in their passport. Drive from the just-opened airport through the newly-built area of Brades and you might think a building boom had struck an improbable locale. In fact, Montserrat’s former airport and capital are no longer accessible, laid to waste by pyroclastic flows that began erupting in 1995.
NIGHTLIFE ON MONTSERRAT
There are some small nightclubs and a host of roadside bars, better known as ‘rum shops’, where people gather informally to hang out or ‘lime’, have a drink and perhaps relax over a game of dominoes, especially on Friday nights. With limited evening culture. There is no closing time and most bars stay open ‘until…’ Salem, St. John’s, Cudjoe Head, Davy Hill and Festival Village in Little Bay are home to many of these bars.
ACTIVITIES ON MONTSERRAT – Private Jet And Helicopter Charter Services
Volcano Viewing:
The magnificent (and still active) Soufriere Hills Volcano is the island’s stellar attraction, and the only live volcano in the Caribbean that you can observe at close quarters in safety. After centuries of lying dormant, the volcano rumbled to life in 1995 and buried the capital of Plymouth lying in its foothills, reducing the once-vibrant city to a deserted shell- the Caribbean’s own version of a modern day Pompeii.
Diving/Snorkeling:
For snorkelers and divers, the coral reefs on Montserrat’s North West Coast offers a variety of tropical fish and other exotic undersea life. Among the more spectacular dive sites are Little Redonda, a rock that reaches the surface from a depth of about 80 feet; the Pinnacles on the northeast corner of the island; and Yellow Hole, south of the Pinnacles, where there is the wreck of a 19th century steel schooner which sank in 1886.
Nature and Adventure:
The lush, forest Centre Hills is renowned for its biological diversity. The moist rainforest is home to many species of wildlife and most of the thirty-four species of resident land birds and migrant songbirds that inhabit the area. Birdwatchers will delight in a chance to spot Montserrat’s rare national bird, the Montserrat oriole, as well as the forest thrush; the shy bridled quail dove, the mangrove cuckoo, the trembler and purple throated carib. Other regional endemic species that may be found are the mountain chicken, which is actually a type of frog, and the galliwasp, which is half-snake, half-lizard.
Hiking:
There are numerous hiking trails through the lush vegetation that offers stunning views of land, sea and coastline.
Biking:
Another great way to discover the island’s hidden charms. Cycle along at your own pace, admiring the breathtaking views of the ocean, and the dramatic sweep of green hills, which many visitors say are very much like the Irish countryside.
