Our First-Hand Experience

Besides the excellent fishing, we loved the activities this location offered our family!  One of our favorite memories is of Josie always on the bow of the fishing boat “riding” the wind and the waves! She had the thrill of catching her first Mahi Mahi here, and she was pretty convinced it was going to pull her over.

We enjoyed zip lining through the jungle; riding horses through rivers, up hills and through scenic countryside; and finding all sorts of animals along the way. We loved walking through the Butterfly enclosures and watching them land on each of us.  As we paddle boarded through the mangroves the small crocodiles kept us on our toes! We swam and dove in the pool, and then rested in the hammocks. Kevin caught a big rooster fish that is one of our favorite photos.

This was one of our favorite family trips!
