The Rain Forest

January 6, 2020
January 6, 2020

St. Croix is very unique in that it has both an arid, dessert-like terrain and a lush, green rain forest. Though not technically a rainforest, this expanse of land is dense with mahogany, turpentine, kapok, samaan, and many fruit trees. Making their homes within the rain forest are a number of species, including green-throated caribs, yellow warblers, banaquits, deer, mongoose, insects, bats, and another unexpected creature…the infamous beer-drinking pigs!

Set deep within the rain forest, a popular attraction for tourists and locals is the Mt. Pellier Domino Club, also known as Norma’s, where you can stop for a cold drink, delicious meal, and to buy a round of beer for the resident pigs (non-alcoholic, of course). You’ll get to personally hand the pigs a beer and take plenty of photos with these beloved pigs! While you’re there, try the mammawanna, a fresh banana daquiri, and any of the outstanding, homemade food.

There are many other cool places to visit the rain forest. A short drive down the road is Nidulari, a “gypsy cart” food truck and artisanal bakery where you can enjoy lunch and buy baked goods and locally-made chocolate to take home. Up the mountain, you can tour Ridge to Reef Farm —  or take part in a more immersive experience as a volunteer, a farm stay or bush skills retreat. Tucked on a hillside you’ll find Mount Victory Camp where you can camp or stayover in a bungalow, participate in a wilderness workshop, or take a hike.

Other Activities in the Rain Forest

  • Horseback riding with Cruzan Cowgirls or Paul & Jill.
  • A guided hike with CHANT or a self-guided hike.
  • A visit to Creque Dam.
  • An ATV tour with Gecko’s Island Adventure.
  • A Jeep tour with Tan Tan Tours.
  • Bird watching.

We recommend taking your time to truly explore the rain forest and all of its beautiful sights and sounds.
