This scenic location features fine sandy beaches and calm waters, making it ideal for water sports. The natural wind combines with the dramatic volcanic and marine landscape, creating a powerful yet peaceful atmosphere.

The Experience After a safety briefing and fitting into your harness and life jacket, you’ll board a speedboat that departs from the beach.
