We had a VERY enjoyable day with Tom our guide [who is almost 80] we saw heaps of wildlife you will be lucky to see elsewhere on the island,The walk was easy and the view at the top was awesome. Toms knowledge on all things was great and if he didnt know about something he wasnt afraid to admit it. At $35 per person this for me was the best value for money activity that I did in Rarotonga

This a walk through a privately funded conservation estate set up to conserve a rare native bird and has been successful.Well worth the small fee which goes to help the conservation estate.

This is a large inland area of land owned by 3 family groups. They manage the area mainly to protect the Rarotonga Flycatcher, which was critically endangered (only 29 birds left, endemic to Rarotonga) but now more than 400.

Conservation and nature nuts, this is your No. 1 attraction on Rarotonga. We got to see Rarotongan flycatcher and a number of other birds (ok, including jungle chicken). Also, Tom was an expert on local flora so we learned heaps about local (and introduced) plants as well. The 'banana lunch' from the garden adds a nice touch :)

about 3 hours walk We found it interesting and informative. We saw the flycatchers and many tropical plants in the wild. Wear sturdy shoes and bug repellant.
