SPORTS ACTIVITIES
You are treated to a multitude of sports activities during all seasons. Kayaking into the sunset, walking for hours on endless beaches, swimming, golfing, horse riding, scuba diving, bicycling, caving, and water-skiing are some examples of things to do. When you think of the Islands, you think of the wind. The omnipresence of the good Lord’s breeze brings happiness to windsurfers and kite surfers of this world. Do you need a kite?
