Whale and Dolphin Safari

Embark your catamaran and head out to sea to catch a glimpse of these amazing creatures in their natural habitat.  Your skipper will brief you on what to look out for as well as an intuitive insight into these fascinating animals.  Once engines are shut down and the hydrophones in place it's time to listen out for the rhythmic 'clicking' of sperm whales, the singing of humpback and whistling of dolphins. Although sightings cannot be guaranteed a 90% success rate makes this trip a must for all.

River to Ocean Kayaking Adventure

Sit back and take in the scenery as you make your way to the beautiful Layou River where your instructors await your arrival.  After a short introduction you will board your two-person state of the art kayak for the start of your fun-filled adventure.  Experience the thrill of steering yourself through the light rapids and admire your tropical surroundings as you make your way downstream to the river's mouth and the breathtaking entrance to the fishing village of Layou.  Watch the fishing boats as they off-load their catch and take a swim in the cool Caribbean sea before paddling on to your exit point where a sampling of local cuisine along with a complimentary local rum punch awaits.
