More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the hotel vehicle into humid, green air and the island opens above you: a ladder of platforms threaded through palms and takamaka, the Atlantic flashing beyond the canopy.

Hydrate before you go
Drink water before the zipline and carry a small bottle—tropical heat and adrenaline dehydrate quickly.
Wear sturdy shoes
Closed-toe shoes with good grip make the short forest approaches and platform climbs safer and more comfortable.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before snorkeling to protect coral and marine life in Port Launay Marine Park.
Protect valuables
Leave loose items at the hotel or use a secure pocket—phones and sunglasses can be lost on ziplines or in surf.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Grip and protection for forest approaches, platforms and short walks between activity zones.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel
Needed for snorkeling and the freshwater waterfall dip after the zipline.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin in tropical sun while minimizing harm to coral and marine life.
Light daypack with dry bag
Carries water, ID and a spare shirt while keeping electronics dry at the beach.
