Refrain from removing any wildlife or plants from its natural surroundings. Especially the limestone formations as they have took millions of years to form.

If you’re using the services of a tour operator, a return trip from your accommodation to the geoforest park is usually included in the package.
However, if you choose to go yourself you may hire a taxi to bring you as there is no public bus service on the island.

Insiders’ tips
Insiders’ tips
- Carry enough sun block and drinking water with you. Even if the weather feels alright, prolonged sun exposure can have some pretty adverse effects on your skin!
- September to October is the rainy reason and it’s best to avoid the island at this time as the weather can hamper your day. January to March is the high season for tourists with great weather but the mid season of April to August is great as well with the low prices and decent weather.
- September to March is the migratory season for birds and with a good pair of binoculars you can spot many different species here.
