Sailing

With its beautiful coastline, calm waters, and prevailing winds, it offers the perfect setting for all types of sailing excursions. There is a wide variety of sailing excursions for all tastes and experience levels. You can take a ride on a small catamaran, or go sailing on a luxurious excursion aboard a sophisticated Beneteau, enjoying the beaches, either to rest, swim, snorkel or just relax with delicious food and drink.

Canopy Zip Lining

Seeing and feeling the beauty of the mountains from a canopy zip line is a unique and unforgettable experience. There are platforms suspended in the air, ladders to climb to the top of the trees, and rappel lines to descend from them. As you speed down the zipline over the jungle you can see an abundance of orchids and birds. The Canopy Adventure Park offers a half-day tour, with short hikes through the jungle and many canopy lines.
