FAQs
Is there an entrance fee?
Main roads and public areas are free. Guided treks, boat trips and some special sites have separate charges.
Can I hike on my own?
It is better to go with a guide. Trails are not always marked and the forest can be dense.
How long should I spend there?
A half day is enough for a trek or a beach visit. Plan a full day if you want to combine both.
