It's time to get away from our retreat for a bit of adventure! After our typical morning routine, we'll transfer to the shore where we will pick up kayaks and head out towards Chora Island with an experienced guide. Not far off of the shore, Chora is home to crystal clear water that is absolutely perfect for snorkeling. Naturally, we've brought all the equipment along so that you can hop off your kayak and take a peek at the world beneath the waves! Spy colorful marine life as you dip in and out of the water, forging unforgettable memories. We'll eventually kayak back to the beach before it gets too late, returning to the resort for yoga, meditation, and well-earned food.
