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. You will also have an opportunity to enjoy yoga classes focused on specific areas, such as Core Stability, Back Health, etc. Everyone can take as many classes as they like any level that they like, even classes back to back.

Your free time can be spend exploring the island's many treasures - from swimming with dolphins, to checking out birds and the monkeys living next door in the Cumbalimba park, 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. This will be a vacation you will want to repeat again and again.....
