Day Trips
Just beyond the resort there are many activities to explore on the 70-mile-long island. Depending on your interests, it would be wise to pack a few of these items.
- From January to March, whale watching is a spectacular way to spend an afternoon. Bring a lightweight waterproof layer to protect against light sea spray.
- Spring and summer are a popular time to go trekking in Yambaru Forest — home to some of the last surviving areas of subtropical rainforest in Asia — so bring comfortable walking shoes for the excursion.
- Don’t forget a waterproof pouch for phones or cameras to capture images of the stunning scenery and rare animals while kayaking among the mangroves on the northern part of the island.
