TOURING BY SCOOTER

There is no better way to see the spectacular sights of Margarita Island than by scooter. To really see all that the island of Margarita has to offer, we recommend at least three ½ days of touring and maybe a fourth day for shopping. We have personally explored the island by scooter, and with the help of the very friendly locals we have discovered these three spectacular tours.

1. The Nature Tour explores the unspoiled beauty of Macanao, the western part of the island. Most of Macanao is a government protected park, with some of the world’s most beautiful virgin beaches. The terrain is enhanced by rolling hills, that open to sweeping ocean vistas as you tour the winding, surprisingly traffic free paved road. Check out beautiful La Restinga and take a boat tour of the canals that are lined with mangrove trees. Or, stop in at the Marine Museum! Enjoy a fresh seafood lunch at Punta Arenas at the very tip of the island, and be back in El Yaque in time for the great afternoon winds. Approximate tour time: 4 hours.

2. The Historic Tour winds north through the scenic seaside town of Juan Griego, past the historic fort, and on through the lush flora and fauna to the artisan villages of El Maco or Agua de Vaca, where guests can purchase hand-made souvenirs. Approximate tour time: 3 hours

3. The Beach Tour is one of our more popular tours, that winds its way around the very northern peninsula of the island. The spectacular cliffside views of Playa Manzanillo are breathtaking, as are the seafood lunches. Along the way south, guests can stop to visit some of the more established beaches like Playa El Agua, or the hip surfer beach called Playa Parguitto. Approximate tour time: 3- 4 hours.

4. The Shopping Tour encompasses all types of shopping, from high-end designer stores, to the flea market and all of its bargains. The best mall in Porlamar is called Sambil, and is conveniently located on the main road in town. This mall is massive and contains all of the high end stores, as well as several higher end restaurants and a movie theatre. Rattan Plaza is another mall, closer to El Yaque with upscale clothing stores and great restaurants, particularly a good sushi restaurant.

The main shopping street in Porlamar, called 4 de Mayo, is located right downtown and is full of upscale shops and boutiques.

Of course, there is the flea market. This is also located on the main road and is closer to El Yaque. The market is huge, and is full of all kinds of great bargains – including lots of board shorts. Approximate tour time: as short or as long as you like.

*Note: It is recommended to always wear sun block and sunglasses while touring on a scooter. Helmets and maps are included in the rental fee, and a cell phone is available for rent. Guests must present a valid driver’s license and a credit card to be eligible to rent the scooters. The scooters have storage under the seat for an extra hat, a long sleeved shirt, extra water etc. A lock is also provided in the storage under the seat. It is not recommended to operate the scooter after sunset, as visibility is poor.
