Wet N’ Wild Guided Morning Kayak Tour
Get wild on the water! Be expertly guided in a personal kayak below towering cliffs and into sea caves. Snorkel gorgeous underwater coral landscapes by breathtaking scenery. Snacks and beverages included.
Area’s available for Yoga at the hotel:
1) Sacred Garden – A magical, very secluded grassy area, surrounded by vegetation. The Sacred Garden is totally private.
2) Area at the end of the hotel – facing the ocean – very rare for people to walk by.
The hotel has advised that these two outdoor areas are their best suggestions for yoga in the mornings. It is VERY RARE to have rain in the mornings…usually in the afternoons. If you do not want to be outside, they do have a small ballroom, with carpet floors, but is near the loading dock of the hotel…the cost is pretty high to use this ballroom.
