Hacienda Baru National Wildlife Refuge

With 330 hectares of wall-to-wall wildlife, this privately owned rainforest habitat is a rewarding ecological experience that must not be missed. Guided canopy tours, naturalist-guided rainforest hikes, birdwatching, platform wildlife viewing, tree climbing, butterfly garden and jungle excursions are among the main attractions. For families and couples preferring to take things at their own pace, the 7km self-guided trails and 3km of pristine beach offer a refreshing way to spend a memorable morning or half an afternoon. On a lucky day, some visitors have been known to report non-stop sighting of wildlife in playful actions.
