Would you like to try out what it feels like to sleep a night in nature under the open sky? While resting in a hammock – dubbed by some as the cradle of gods – you’ll feel like lying on someone’s lap as you relax and let your thoughts wander back to the carefree days of childhood. Close your eyes, and you’ll hear the wind rustling in the reefs and waves lapping against the shoreline rocks. You’ll fall asleep amid the gentle tapping of summer rain, only to wake up to birdsong in the morning. On this excursion you won’t go far, and yet you’re making the longest trip, a journey into your inner self.

Once the guide has made sure that all is well, he/she’ll bid you good night, and you’ll get to enjoy a great experience and refreshing sleep.
