More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the air-conditioned van into a humid ribbon of island sound—wings, distant surf, and the high chatter of capuchins. The guide leads you past shaded cocoa trees to a small bean-to-bar workshop, then deeper into an open eco-park where sloths hang like slow punctuation and macaws call from tall limb stages. Finally the shore opens: West Bay’s reef presses the water into glassy turquoise that dares you to swim.
