Itinerary

Tour Itinerary

Devil's Bridge with its haunting history, is absolutely breathtaking 15 minutes

Devil's Bridge with its haunting history, is absolutely breathtaking. This bridge was formed due to the Atlantic’s waves constantly crashing into the limestone rocks, which created a natural arch filled with geysers and blowholes over time. As the waves continue to break against these same coastal limestone rocks, it created stunning natural phenomenon. This stop promises to be a unique and moving experience. The limestone formation can be really slippery because of the waves, and it is not advisable to walk on top of the arch.
