Join an expert ornithologist at dawn for a guided trek through primary forest in search of rare endemic birds and exotic wildlife. A silent, extraordinary encounter with Caribbean nature at its most untouched.
What to expect
Depart the pier before sunrise and enter the forest as the canopy erupts in birdsong. Your ornithologist guide spots and identifies hummingbirds, parrots, and island endemics found nowhere else on earth, narrating each sighting with infectious passion. Trek at a relaxed, contemplative pace through cathedral-like tree ferns and wild orchids. As light floods the forest floor, you pause at a river crossing for breakfast provisions — fresh fruit, coffee, and local pastries — before the return hike. A morning that stays with you for years.
Good to know
Sturdy hiking boots and long lightweight trousers essential (no sandals). Departure 5:30–6:00 AM — confirm your ship's gangway opening time. Back at pier by 10:30 AM comfortably. Binoculars provided; bring insect repellent. Pre-booking essential — max 6 spots per day.
