The helicopters whisk you to the breathtaking splendor of the rugged eastern
coast, revealing amazing wonders seen no other way. The pilot narrates points
of interest, and the helicopter taks up to five people. I was lucky enough to sit
up front with the Pilot.. You get to see the contrasts between the two coasts: on
the east, the rugged, saw-toothed cliffs and the strange rock formations that
look like animals. Skim past pounding surf, see spectacular blow holes and sea
caves. To the west, awaiting your return, are serene, softly curving 'sugar sand'
beaches. Hues of ultramarine and aquamarine glimpsed from ships and
balconies become many times more intense from the air. The tour starting
from and returning to Bridgetown, is exciting, every moment from take-off to
landing again. You get wonderful views of the Bajan secret, the oddly formed,
vertically-walled 'gullies' traversing the highlands... and soar to the east coast
viewing a maze of almost jungle-like, mountainous ravines.
