Your professional naturalist guide can answer any questions, provide entertaining anecdotes and help identify the fauna and flora. Keep a lookout for agoutis on the ground and St Lucia’s endemic and endangered parrot, the jacquot, flying through the air.
The St Lucia rainforest aerial tour is just a short distance from the capital city, Castries, in an ecological park that’s home to indigenous and endangered wildlife.

Full of life - An amazing experience. Our guide Jesse was so fun and knowledgeable about his country and the rainforest. The gondola up showed how full of life the forests were, from extensive tree networks, to the bird and bugs that live in them. Jesse was so passionate about this rain forest and was able to answer many many questions about the ecosystem here. Brilliant!

Peaceful & Beauty of the Rainforest - Floating at the tree tops was very peaceful and beautiful. Lyndon was a great guide with a sense of humor. He also took us on a trail walk and pointed out the different type of flowers and trees. Tip: in order to go on the walk you must wear closed toes foot wear.

Simply stunning - I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in the beautiful island of St Lucia - to see something other than the resorts when you have come so far away from home is a real treat.
The trees, flowers and wildlife are amazing as if the knowledge of the guides.
We went up almost 1800ft above sea level into the canopy of the rainforest in a lovely, gentle, and safe gondola where you could see for miles.
Simply stunning and highly recommend

Outstanding, highly recommend - Extremely knowledgeable and interesting lady tour guide. Very well organised from pick up at cruise terminal to safe and professional boarding of aerial tram early morning to guided tour of island to drop off back to cruise ship. Loved the tranquility of the hour long gondola ride with commentary through the rainforest with magnificent views at the top. Optional guided walk in the rain forest learning about the plants, trees and fruits was most enjoyable. Time for a drink at the cafe. Picked up a few tips on which spices to use for good health and ailments on the mini bus ride around the island. Learnt interesting facts about the people, history and information on St Lucia.

Been to the rainforest on my bucket list. - Amazing. Great to Vanilla growing in the wild. Shame that there were people screaming as they were doing the zip line. Whilst I realise that its great for them I am sure all the screaming meant the wildlife hid. Aerial tram was very quiet and the views great.

Overwhelmed - We were on a cruise with AIDA and were in the harbor with two other ships. We had booked tickets including transfer in advance. The transfer worked well, we were picked up on time, picked up other guests and then drove to the rainforest. From here on, things unfortunately became very chaotic and annoying: there was a lot of back and forth about how we should be distributed among the groups. When that was finally done, there were long waits at the gondola. Our guide decided to take the short walk through the forest first. But even after that, there were lots of people waiting in groups at the gondola, so it took ages before we could get on. The trip itself was nice, but not particularly spectacular. Our guide also tried hard, but in summary, it was rather unsatisfactory due to the long waits (the trip lasted more than 2 hours longer than stated).

Aerial tram chaos - All booked but absolutely chaos. Turn up and be ready to have a very long wait. No one has a clue what is going on. No one even cares. They need a lesson in organisation because there is none
