EXPERIENCES
BEYOND THE SURF
When you’re not in the water, there’s plenty to explore. Snorkel vibrant reefs, visit remote sandbanks, or explore further underwater with diving available upon request. Dolphins often cruise past the boat, and the sunsets here are unforgettable. If you're travelling with non-surfers, divers, or kids, we can make sure there's plenty for them to enjoy too.
