Salt air tugs at your shirt as the van winds off the coastal road and into the island’s greener spine, palms leaning close like curious onlookers. The first stop is quiet: a hammock of vines and branches where sloths shift with exaggerated slowness and capuchins tilt their heads, sizing you up. The tour moves at a deliberate pace—animal viewing, short town stops and a rum-and-chocolate tasting on a deck that overlooks the bright scatter of West End below.
