Downtown Walking Tour

[kijjy]

Has anyone done this? Does anyone know if this goes to the place called "Hell"? I definitely want to do something that goes there.

Hell's not downtown or within walking distance of the port, so probably not.

No, the walking tour won't go to Hell. Hell isn't in the downtown area. You could do this tour and take a taxi or bus to Hell. Personally, I wouldn't pay the price of a taxi to go to Hell. Hell literally takes you about 1-5 minutes to look at the reason it's called Hell (see below) and then 10 or 15 minutes to look through the little shop with T-Shirts and postcards.

 

I will say, that the first time I visited there in 1997 was at least a little bit better than when I went there in 2009. Back in 1997 the gift shop had better items. Lots of hot sauces, etc. Now, it's pretty much just a t-shirt shop in my opinion.

Once you get to the pier there are lots of taxi/jitney drivers looking to offer island tours. Get the best price you can (approx $15 to $20 person). They will take you to the Turtle Farm (see turtles thru gift shop window at no charge) and Hell. They will also stop at a beach and then return you to downtown. If you want to get off then let them know and they will drop you off with commensurate taxi fare.
