Glide through Saint Lucia's verdant tree canopy with a knowledgeable local guide as you enjoy an aerial tram tour that offers an up-close look at the island's lush environment. Look for curious hummingbirds and leafy chestnut trees as you ride, and then head out on a self-guided nature walk. Start your tour by boarding a spacious aerial tram that cruises along quiet cables as it rises through forests of gum and chestnut trees. Listen to the chatter of birds while your rise and let your guide point out native flora and fauna, like the gripping vines of stranger ficus, and yellow-chested bananaquit birds. Enjoy sweeping views out over the island's rolling hills when you reach the top of your tram route and then take some time to wander down sun-dappled trails to explore the forest floor's rich ecosystem. Snap photos of ferns, keep your eyes peeled for fluttering hummingbirds, and wind your tour to a close with a convenient lift back to your hotel or cruise ship.

Dannyboy was incredible, from the second we met him he was full of life. He gave us incredible insight into the history and culture of St Lucia and his driving skills around the windy roads are impressive. We loved every bit of the tour, with the highlight being sulphur springs and the waterfall. Danny looked after us every step of the way, took great photos and gave us his own personal insight to the St Lucian way of life. Thus tour is the best way to see the island, the fact that its private made it even better. Highly recommend booking and much cheaper and better than the hotel tours! We hope to see you again Danny!

Danny Boy is Amazing we found out about him on YouTube and we said we have to take this tour it’s a little more than the other tours buts it’s well worth it. It is private so you don’t have to worry about big groups and Danny Boy is very knowledgeable about the island and very funny we didn’t realize we had spent the whole day with him on the island learning and having fun.

It was great to experience the wonderful the Rainforest. Our daughterdid the zip wire while we did the team. Both are great. The guide was very knowledgeable about the forest. All in all well worth the money.

Our driver, Tennyson was amazing!! He was punctual, polite and an excellent driver. We had a great day - he knew exactly what we should see and where to take us! Thank you Tennyson!

Nice and friendly guide. We could pick ourselves, what we wanted to see and managed to visit all those places.
