There is so much to do here, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Why not head off on a boat trip to go snorkelling in the turquoise waters. Or if you’d rather stay on land, spend some time with one of the village elders, hearing traditional stories and ancient myths from the last 3,000 years. Go paddleboarding on the perfectly clear water, kayak around the rugged coastline or snorkel  among the pretty soft coral that can be found just offshore. All of these activities are included, so your time here can be spent indulging in thrilling activities, all built into the cost of your trip.

If you want to go even further, you could head off on a dive. This is highly recommended, Jean Michael Cousteau is close by to some of the most beautiful reefs in the world.
