Well tobe honest A whole day could be best to make an enjoyment of allbut we were limited in time and had to see as much as possible in a couple of hours. 6 Hours could be fair enough to see the most significant parts...besides if you are doing it these days would be great..we were there in may 2022 and it was extremely windy...though had a great time. Check the map of the fortrees islan and decide on your most valuable interests ..mark them and go ahead..enjoy it.
