Signature Family Experiences

Zip line through the rainforest canopy

Harness in and step off the platform into open air. You’ll zip above the rainforest canopy, the wind in your face and the forest alive beneath you. Kids love spotting monkeys in the branches and birds soaring alongside, while parents get to share the thrill and the view.

Release baby sea turtles at sunset

On a quiet stretch of beach, you’ll hold a just-hatched sea turtle in your hands before helping it make its way to the waves. Guided by local conservationists, the experience is both exciting and meaningful, teaching kids about the delicate journey these creatures face from their very first moments.

Canoe through the Amazon at dawn

Glide silently through calm waterways framed by towering trees and thick vines. Your guide will point out tropical birds, brilliant butterflies, and maybe even pink river dolphins surfacing nearby. It’s a peaceful way to explore the rainforest together, close enough to hear its heartbeat.

Castaway day on a private island

Travel by boat to a secluded beach or tiny island where the only footprints in the sand will be your own. Spend the day swimming in warm turquoise water, snorkeling over coral gardens, and enjoying a picnic prepared just for you. It’s a screen-free, schedule-free day of pure family time.

Go on a night hike in the jungle

When the sun sets, the rainforest transforms. Guided by a naturalist and the beam of your flashlight, you’ll discover a nocturnal world of frogs, insects, and night birds. The sounds are louder, the air cooler, and every step brings a new surprise for curious explorers of all ages.

Hike a volcano & roast marshmallows over lava vents

Walk the trails of an active volcano, feeling the warmth under your feet and smelling faint hints of sulfur in the air. At the summit, gather around steaming vents where you can roast marshmallows over natural heat. It's a fun and slightly surreal experience the whole family will remember.

Paint with a local artist

Spend the morning or afternoon with a talented local artist in their studio or in a sunlit square. Learn about traditional techniques, experiment with vibrant colors, and create your own painting to take home. It’s hands-on, creative, and a beautiful way to connect with the local culture.
