On board the Jolly Roger you can go into the bar and enjoy the world-famous pirates punch.

By 4x4 to the land of the green monkeys

Adventure safari into the interior of the island, in the direction of the sparsely inhabited Scottish area on the East Coast, where both view and landscape are dazzlingly beautiful. The trip continues to the nature conservation area which is home to unique green monkeys. It is these animals which we have to thank for 70 percent of our vaccinations against polio. The participants will then go on a tour of a sugar plantation in a 4x4 over rough roads before returning to the ship.
