This coach tour is designed to be hassle-free for guests who use a wheelchair, for persons with mobility limitations, and for their travel companions.
Begin with a drive through the island’s capital -- Basseterre. This is the oldest town in the Eastern Caribbean, dating from the 17th century.
Learn about the rich history of French and British influence in Basseterre’s layout and architecture, which have been so carefully preserved. Watch for the Berkeley Memorial, Independence Square, St George’s Anglican Church and the impressive Catholic co-cathedral.
Leaving Basseterre, travel westwards to visit historical Romney Manor Gardens, home of the Caribelle Batik Factory, accessible to wheelchairs and to those with mobility limitations.
Enjoy the mature tropical gardens, see how the colorful batik designs are made and browse in the gift shop.
Notes:
This tour is designed to be accessible for all guests, including those using a wheelchair (the tour operator suggests you bring a companion to assist, as guides are not allowed to push wheelchairs). If the combined weight of the chair and the guest exceeds 396 lbs, guests can travel on the vehicle but cannot get on and off the coach at the various sites. The tour route avoids stairs; however, the nature of access may differ from the standards you are familiar with at home. Accessible bathrooms with wide doors are available along the tour route. An accessible vehicle with a wheelchair lift or ramp is used for transportation. The number of accessible vehicles available is extremely limited; make your accessible shore excursion reservations as far in advance as possible. Guests requiring accessible transportation, please complete the Special Services form at https://book.hollandamerica.com/specialServices/login.action; this will ensure that suitable transportation is in place for your tour.
