Why Cruise Passengers Choose This Tour

What to Expect
- Open-air safari-style transport to Wingfield Estate or trailhead
- Guided rainforest walk through tropical vegetation
- Opportunities to observe vervet monkeys (wildlife sightings not guaranteed)
- Commentary on flora, fauna and island ecology
- Return to cruise port within scheduled time
Good to Know Before Booking
- Trails can be muddy after rain — wear appropriate footwear
- Mosquitoes are present in rainforest areas; bring repellent
