Natural Fun by Susan Campbell There’s no need for noisy motors to enjoy this island’s incredible nature on land and sea. There are plenty of ways to experience the flora, fauna, and geology “au naturel”! Paddle power

Swing through the trees

The new sport of stand up paddling (SUP) is all the rage these days, and now you can do it here, too! This island has some great spots with optimum conditions for SUP, and it’s a fun workout for all levels of expertise. Sea kayaking is also a wonderful way to explore the coastline and mangroves of this island paradise; the ability to serenely glide through the waves without disturbing wildlife allows you to get very close to it. There are activity operators offering rentals, guided tours, and expert instruction, and some combine snorkeling opportunities as part of their eco-tours as well.

If zip-lining through a treetop canopy like Tarzan and Jane is on your bucket list, then head for Loterie Farm. It’s not a typical “farm,” but rather a magnificent preserve of towering trees spanning over 135 lush acres at the foot of Pic Paradis, the island’s highest summit. There are different levels of zip-lining courses from beginners to extreme, and after you’re done flying through the branches you can refresh in their swimming oasis L’eaulounge or sit back, relax, and enjoy a snack and their signature cocktail in the TreeLounge and Hidden Forest Café. !
