Walking on the beach
This is without any doubt one of the most popular activities in Cayo Largo. This island is truly a walker's paradise due to its 20 km of beach all along the south coastline! Walking is made easy by the fine white sand, which never get too hot. If you walk east from the hotels, you may have sometimes to go around some rocks when the beach becomes narrower. Going west of the resort the beaches are generally wider.
Watersports
Cayo Largo offers a wide variety of water sports. The all-inclusive package usually include the use of non-motorized equipments (one hour per day, per person): kayak, pedal boat, snorkeling gear, small catamaran, hobby cat, scuba diving lessons in the pool, etc.
Since 2007, the watersport equipments are located in Playa Sirena where the sea is calmer than Playa Lindamar. A transportation is available from the hotels to Playa Sirena. You may find other water sports at the marina ($).
Bicycles
With the all-inclusive package, you can use bicycles for one hour per day per person. This is for all the hotels. Beware, it is possible the bicycles are not functioning properly of simply not existing in some hotels. It is not recommended to go to the west beaches due to the sandy trails.
Horseback riding
From December 2011, the Horseback Riding activity will no longer be offered in Cayo Largo. The horses have left the island. They were returned to Pinar Del Rio on the main island of Cuba, except for the two older horses (Yaki and Paty Blanco) which have remained in Cayo Largo but won’t work anymore.
This also means that the nice and cheerful Ramon loses its job in Cayo Largo where he was responsible for the Horseback riding since several years. We wish the best of luck to Ramon and hope that he will find a new job where he can again work with horses.
Crocodile
There are two crocodiles in a pond located at the Tower's garden. There is no fee to enter but you have to go there by yourself.
