Every day will begin with yoga and end with meditation. The group will be separated by level of ability. We will offer Gentle Yoga for beginners and people who want to take it easy, and Yoga for Experienced people for those who want to challenge themselves. Everyone can take as many classes as they like any level that they like, even classes back to back. In between, your time can be spend exploring the island's many treasures - from swimming with dolphins, to checking out the iguana farm, a sailing trip, a spectacular dive in the second largest barrier reef on earth with it's colorful and curious inhabitants. You choose! The Henry Morgan staff is always ready and happy to organize a dive, a trip or anything you like. Night life is exciting and offers many options. Restaurants on the island are abundant, inexpensive and offer everything from the freshest local fish, lobster and shrimp to exotic Argentinean grill and tasty Italian favorites.
