It's an adventure ride best experienced with a motorbike. It is only 30minutes away from the beach house. The road is rough, the view is marvelous and the jungle is inviting. Enjoy a natural hot bath!

Not a supermarket though. But this is the place to get some fresh vegetables, fruits and fish. Nowadays they also have some good resonable wines. Just ask for the store which sells wins. Its only one.

Parks & Nature

This is the place for a perfect beach day. Nice sandy beach with its own marine sanctuary. Lots of fish and corals to see. Best of all: Its super low budget! Ask me for snorkling gear!
