Fantastic Tour! - The driver, Mr Timothy, was on time, very pleasant and friendly. He did a tour of different tropical plants etc while on our way to the venue. And even taught us some Kweyol (Creole). The tour guide, Ms Chelsea, was very kind, patient and informative. Lovely lady. I really enjoyed doing the tour with her. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Book your tour and enjoy!

Rainforest Ariel Tramway - it’s really fantastic - If you fancy getting back to nature and experience the true beauty of a tropical rainforest - I can’t recommend this highly enough!! Well organised and the guides are extremely knowledgeable. A great 2 hours and great value for money! You really get to see really interesting things as well as an opportunity to see humming birds up close (but you do need to keep your eyes peeled) Loved it and so did my wife!!

Beautiful scenery - Views were great. Went from the forest floor to way above the canopy. Guide was very knowledgeable, gave loads of information on the way up. Such a beautiful, peaceful place. We went back a few day later and did it again, this time with the trek and zil lines.

Excellent trip - Excellent, tour guide very knowledgeable explained about all the trees and spices. We had a short walk first, good shoes should be worn. The tram ride was fantastic. So peaceful. The views were fantastic. Well worth the money.

One of the highlights of our trip - This is peaceful and cool if you need a break from the heat and sun at the beach. We did the aerial tram tour with a short hike afterwards. The tram is very sturdy and safe - it's built by an Austrian company and the sort of thing you would see at a ski resort for going up the slope. Your guide rides with you in the tram. The views from the tram were great. We saw a lot of beautiful birds, hummingbirds especially. Not too much other rainforest wildlife on our trip. Good views of the trees from a different angle though. The real highlight for me was the short walk after the tram ride. I wasn't expecting much, but our guide was very engaging. He showed us tropical plants that grow on the island and made it a multi-sensory experience (touch, smell, taste). That kept our younger kids interested the whole time. The location is pretty high up some winding island roads so consider the option to get a shuttle or else be prepared for a somewhat challenging drive up.

Great tour - Amazing scenery and a great tour which is so worth it, just spoilt by our guide’s attitude. Left a bitter taste and spoilt what was an amazing experience.

Rainforest Canopy - The Tram was a great experience moving through the canopy of the Rainforest. Our guide Chelsea was informative and knowledgeable and interacted well with the group of local Islanders and visitors

Save your money! - If you are only doing the tram, don't bother! It is way too expensive, takes too long to get there and there was so much waiting time once you arrive. I would not do this again. Save your money!

If you’d like to spend over an hour looking at trees and the backs of peoples heads then this is for you. - We booked the rainforest tram through our Marella cruise at the cost of $375 for 4 adults and 1 child. The tram might be the most boring thing I’ve ever been on, the guide seemed bored too (to be fair there’s only so many things you can say about trees) The trams hold 8 passengers plus 1 guide and even though it wasn’t busy and there were plenty of empty trams they still decided to put another 3 adults in our tram, 2 of which were sat at the front so anyone in the 3 rows behind couldn’t see anything. Also on the website the top of the tram is open, this is not the case, there is a green tarpaulin over them so you can’t look at anything above you. Far far too expensive for what is essentially a n hour long cable car ride through a forest. If you like to see trees and the backs of other peoples heads then you’ll love this.
