This was our favorite port. I had prearranged for a rental car from Stoutes car rental. They have a booth at the port but it is advisable to reserve a car in advance because they were almost out when we got there at 10am. It cost $90 for the entire day, gas included, for an open top jeep. People there sit on the right and drive on the left. That was quite an experience but my husband adjusted well. We drove up the coast, along the beaches, to the Wildlife Reserve. It was such an incredible experience and I would HIGHLY recommend it. I think it cost $11 per person. At the reserve we did some hiking on paved trails. Along the trails there are postings that explain each bush or tree and it’s significance to the island. We also saw a lot of monkeys. They were soooo cute. There were tons of them and they weren’t afraid to get close to us. We did not touch them or feed them but they certainly aren’t afraid of people. At the wildlife reserve the green monkeys are fed everyday, so they are used to people. They just seemed curious about us. Then we went over to the area that had all the monkeys, deer, tortoises, rabbits, snakes, birds, etc. That was one of the most interesting places I have ever been. All of the animals are just sitting there along the path, not in cages. There were so many tortoises on the trail that you had to watch where you step.
