Getting a guide to piscines naturelles / natural pools in Toiny?

[mentaloriental]

Hello,

We visited the natural pool by Grand Fond during our last visit (albeit the waters were a little rough), and we were told about the natural pool near Toiny, but a guide would be suggested to take us there through the trail. Would love to see it but don't know how to get there.

Where does one get a guide? Is this the same as getting a taxi? Or should I just ask the WimcoSBH concierge when we arrive?

I was wondering if anyone has done this, thanks!

For a guide on all of the numerous hikes available on St. Barth, readers can contact Helene Bernier at http://www.stbartheasytime.com/ I've joined Helene on one of her excursions and really enjoyed the experience. She knows every rock, flower, and critter on the island.

Appropriate foot wear is important for any of the ventures listed. When off road, don't step on any cactus, dead or alive. Their spines will penetrate your soles.

If you're into photography, by all means take your camera as long as it doesn't interfere with safe hand holds; the same is true for water bottles. For the more strenuous efforts, I would always take a cell phone in case of injuries to the participants.

I do most of the above walks at least occasionally and edit the descriptions in an effort to keep them current.
