Proceed to visit the Turtle Hatchery, an important conservation area where you can see infant turtles in huge tanks before they are released into the ocean. It's a heartwarming experience that affirms the island's dedication to wildlife preservation.

After a sun-filled day of nature and adventure, come back to your hotel for a quiet night's sleep.
