Walk through this historic passage to emerge at a dramatic coastal viewpoint where the Atlantic meets volcanic cliffs.
The tour continues to Belmont Lookout for panoramic views of St. Vincent's agricultural heartland, before concluding at the Owia Salt Pond - a natural volcanic rock formation filled with crystal-clear seawater that creates a unique natural spa experience.
