Why You’ll Love It
- 1- and 2-day trips fit any summer schedule
- Pristine waters of the Lehigh River beat the heat
- Mountain biking trails filled with photo ops
If you’ve never gone whitewater rafting, here’s what you need to know: it’s awesome. The spray of fresh mountain water, adrenaline-pumping rapids, the spectacular scenery of the Pocono Mountains around every bend—we’ve found our favorite way to keep cool this summer.
Weekends lounging on the coach might be nice, but they don’t hold a candle to a weekend of exploring the wilderness. Spend a day riding the rapids with Whitewater Challengers, and then go cycling on one of the most breathtaking bike trails on the East Coast. With these friendly guides, you don’t need any experience to conquer the Lehigh’s waters.
This expert outfit also takes care of the details so you can focus on enjoying the adventure. From overnight camping to complimentary breakfast buffets, all you have to worry about is getting that perfect tan—and crafting the story you’ll tell your jealous friends when you get back.

This small village is situated inland. The soil is fertile and the climate favorable for farming. You can go stroll through the forest on trails and bridges especially prepared for visitors.
This is essentially an agricultural town that dominates the region and offers a view onto the pineapple fields, which seem to stretch down all the way to the sea.
The Rivière-Salée is a large plain that has been given over to growing sugar cane, although there is no rum distillery within the territory belonging to this district. On some houses, you can still see structures that date to the 19th century.
You can get here by car of course, but also on a ferry from Fort-de-France. The Pagerie Museum is in this town, set up on the spot where Empress Josephine was born. A number of musical and cultural events are organized in the Park of the Trois-Ilets close to the island’s magnificent golf club. You must not miss the Market or the Sugar Cane Museum. The pottery center, where the objects are handmade by local craft artists, is also worth a visit.
