More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the minivan into warm salt-scented air and the driver points the way to a bamboo raft captain waiting on a slow-moving river. The raft rocks like a metronome underfoot; palms lean in and the captain's pole nudges through glossy water while nearby birds call out. Later, a catamaran hums with music off the Hip Strip as snorkel masks flash in a shallow reef; on day two cliff divers gather at Rick’s Cafe and 7 Mile Beach stretches pale and wide.
