Maria Islands
The islands are set about one half mile from the mainland, with access provided by local fishing boats. Maria Islands is a reserve for an endemic species of lizard and an endemic species of snake which is non-poisonous and considered the world's rarest snake. The island is also the major nesting site for migratory birds. These Islands can truly be your sanctuary for the day.

The Maria islands land and sea tour is another most important outing for the nature lover! It is many tours in one! We bus you down to the South via routes abundant with nature.

At Vieux Fort we set off by boat from the Southern mainland to the only home of the colourful endemic ground lizard - Maria Major. The island was the protected home of the Carib Indians of old. Today she is home to diverse and amazing birdlife. You can climb to the top of the island and visit the nature reserve, or stay on the small private beach for a picnic lunch, swimming and sunbathing. Maria Islands can be your own island in the sun for a day. Ask also about diving and sunorkelling!
Maria Islands - their pristine character remains untouched.
