Sea-walking

If parasailing is flying high, sea-walking brings you down under to meet the rich marine life of the island. This activity is great for swimmers and non-swimmers. There are hand signals to learn and dos and donts to follow, but the experience of swimming close to colourful fishes and spectacular marine creatures is worth!
