Your naturalist will shape the tour around what interests you most—whether that's tracking animal movement, understanding plant ecology, exploring geological formations, or learning local history. Expect a moderately active experience involving walking through varied terrain. You'll stop frequently to observe details: how mangrove roots stabilize shorelines, what species inhabit specific niches, how islanders historically used native flora.
