More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into the saddle with salt on the breeze and palms skimming the sky. The horses step from shaded trails onto open sand, then, as if invited, wade into the warm Caribbean; the surf presses at their flanks and the shoreline exhales around you. Later the mood changes—limestone walls and turquoise pools at the Blue Hole demand a different kind of movement, rope swings and stepped climbs where water pulls and rewards in equal measure.
