It is advisable to apply insect repellent before engaging in activities in the rainforest.

We are located in the tropics, close to the equator, and experience consistent temperatures throughout the year. Highs generally reach around 92°F (33°C) and lows hover around 70°F (21°C). However, weather patterns vary throughout the year and can be categorized into three distinct seasons.
Dry Season: Mid-December to mid-April
Green Season: Late April through September
Rainy Season: October to mid-December
The dry season offers four months of delightful sunshine and minimal rainfall. During the green season, the island is mostly sunny or partly cloudy, with occasional afternoon or evening “warm” storms that typically last a few hours. In the rainy season, we may experience heavy downpours, but don’t let the rain discourage you. October is the prime month for humpback whale watching in the Gulf.
