The canoe cuts a slow arc across a mirror-bright lagoon as the sun drops behind volcanic peaks. The ukulele arrives as a promise; the guide steers gently, and the water dares you to look away from the horizon. Guests recline on the canoe’s deck, lights low, while the lagoon breathes—warm, shallow, alive with color.
