Take an off-road buggy into the foothills of Mount Anamuya, cool off with a swim in the Anamuya River, and visit a family-run coffee farm. Expect five hours of mixed terrain driving, river time, and a rural cultural stop.

The engine hums low as the jungle rolls into view — a ragged line of palms, scrub, and sunburnt tracks that lead up toward Mount Anamuya. Behind the wheel of a four-seat ATV buggy you feel the terrain push back: rutted clay, gullies, and sudden creek crossings that demand attention and timing. When the forest opens, the Anamuya River waits cool and steady, its current daring you to dive in.
