• Catamaran Sailing – Set sail on your own or with a seasoned captain enjoy the rush of your first time on a catamaran. Visit a nearby island or simply bask in the delight of being in the open sea. These non-motorized sailing experiences are geared for a revitalizing and refreshing sailing experience either by day or by sunset.

• The Fun Tube – It is a tube that is connected with a rope to a speedboat. Just give it a try and you will understand why it is called . . . FUN tube. With you sitting inside that tube, the boat slowly starts accelerating and you move just above the water at great speed. Great fun!
• The Banana Ride – Sitting together with 5 people on the banana, the aim is to remain seated. As the speedboat increases speed and turns you will have to hold on to the banana and try to stay sitting on it. It’s an easy fun sport safely conducted with lifejackets.
