With panoramic views of the island, it’s a high-flying, adrenaline-packed adventure you won’t forget. Or you can take it easy by following peaceful nature trails or discover the park’s hidden underground world with a guided cave tour, where you’ll find ancient rock formations.

Discover the island’s natural beauty and local crafts

A mix of lively nature and creative artistry, the Flower Forest, Harrison’s Cave, and Earthworks Pottery Tour has something for everyone. Stroll through the botanical garden of the Flower Forest and marvel at its explosion of colours and exotic blooms. With stroller-friendly paths, it’s perfect for little feet and wheels alike. Then, swap sunshine for a magical underground experience as you hop on a tram ride through Harrison’s Cave. End your tour at Earthworks Pottery, where kids will be amazed by artisans handcrafting beautiful ceramics.
