mommybunny21 Posted January 25, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2007 We'll be taking a tour that includes a short hike thru the rain forest-what should we wear? Do we dress for heat or coverage from the bugs? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feistytigger Posted January 25, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2007 when we did the rainforest in puerto rico, we wore hiking attire over swimsuits (so we could swim under the falls). we just decided we'd accept getting wet and get over it. some people recommend those lighweight ponchos that fold up really small, but those are HOT! re bugs - bugspray!

CVL105 Posted January 26, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2007 there were NO bugs in the rainforest when we hiked in Dominica. It was actually something we commented on while hiking. We were surprised. We all wore bathing suits under tanks/tees and shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowbiter Posted January 26, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2007 i don't remember any bugs when i was there 5 years ago and bugs love me. but i do remember the path being a bit more difficult than expected ..it wasn't hard but definitely not easy/even at all parts. i do remember thinking some of it was so difficult that the entire group didn't make it (mostly older folks with bad knees or really poorly supported shoes/sandals)...but i may have just imagined that or thought that. oh and it was hot so wear something cool. (we did some waterfalls tour with hike through carnival - even though it was a simple excursion i think it's my favorite so far! it was so pretty - bring a camera!)

shirleygr Posted January 28, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2007 We'll be taking a tour that includes a short hike thru the rain forest-what should we wear? Do we dress for heat or coverage from the bugs? Thanks Who did you book this tour with? We decided to go with Beno. I plan on dressing in swim shorts and a tankini top (for me and the girls). Just not sure what to do for footwear. See ya on the roll call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanaJulie Posted January 28, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Has anyone taken the Rainforest Aerial Tram in Dominica? Do you know if you can see the Trafalgar falls from the tram?;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
