Swim with the millions of sardines and sea turtles just by the shore. If you are lucky enough, watch the playful dolphins in action. Continue your travel onwards to reach Badian town. Prepare yourself for an adrenaline rush. Cliff jumping, swimming, floating, trekking all rolled into one power-packed activity. This is not for the faint hearted. Don on your life jacket, helmet, wet suit (aqua leggings/rash guard) and aqua shoes and you're good to go!
