Big game fishing: There are ample opportunities to catch barracuda, yellow-fin tuna and other species of fish.
Ocean safaris: This is a two hour ocean safari that speeds through the turquoise waters in search of whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins, turtles and humpback whales.
Diving/Snorkelling : The Barra / Tofo region is fast becoming one of the most popular destinations for diving because of the sheer diversity of marine life and abundant concentrations of manta rays and whale sharks. If diving is not your activity of choice, then we recommend a gentle snorkel in the neighbouring estuary.
