The conservation efforts for several animal species have been hugely successful in this island.

There is also a gigantic irrigation system in place, feeding each tree drip.
Getting there

You can reach the island either through road, sea or air, depending on which you find the easiest.
Activities on the island
You can plan the activities that you’d like to experience straight through your hotel, out of which the most popular activity is the Nature and Wildlife drive, allowing you to observe and admire the many animals strolling around the island. Other than this, sporting activities such as mountain biking, snorkelling, horse riding, and kayaking are available.
