Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Bamboo Rafting on cool azul waters

The package opens with approximately 45 minutes on a bamboo raft, a refreshing, low‑impact drift that puts you on calm, glistening water and offers a serene counterpoint to the day’s faster activity.

THE THRILL

One high-speed sea-tubing ride

At Mahogany Beach you’ll take a single sea-tubing tow—brief but intense—pulled around the bay at speed for roughly ten minutes of open-water excitement.

THE BEACH

Mahogany Beach and its mineral pool

The boat drops you at a small beach known for a natural mineral pool and shallow water that’s family‑friendly; facilities include a restaurant, bar, gift shops and clean bathrooms, plus chair rentals for a small fee.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The sequence is deliberate: check in at the marina, sign a release, slip into waterproof footwear and float away on a bamboo raft for a cool, restorative half hour; return to the marina for a short harbor boat tour and a rapid tow‑tube run at Mahogany Beach; finish with time to swim in the mineral pool or rent chairs and linger until you arrange the boat back to the marina.
