Kayaking, Canoeing and Paddle boarding
Exploring our beautiful island on the water
Kayaking, canoeing or paddle boarding can take you on an exploration around the island including to a private beach lagoon for those wanting to escape and feel completely secluded. Or discover the exquisite blue hole on the island of Malo. You can also enjoy discovering the abundance of marine wildlife including our graceful sea turtles and fish galore.
See if you can spot our resident turtle, Ralph, who mooches about the surface keeping a watchful eye on the goings-on at the resort throughout the day.
