What to do in Cayo Largo ?

Of course most people come to Cayo Largo for the beauty, the quality and the tranquility of its beaches and untouched natural environment, but many activities and optional excursions are also available for people who want a more active vacation.

The all-inclusive package gives you the opportunity to enjoy all the activities listed below. Some hotels have a more elaborate activity program than others, but they are closed to each other, so it's easy to go around and enjoy everything the resort has to offer.

Note certain activities require a day in advance booking.

To discover this small island, the best way is to rent a Jeep or a scooter for a day. Visit our section transportation to know more about transportation available in the island.

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 at Playa Sirena where the sea is calmer than Playa Lindamar. It is possible to do kayak leaving from the beach if in front of the hotels. 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

In 2009, the location moved to a more « visible » place near the garden's tower. Few meters from the main road. There are 11 horses in the ranch for all hotels, including the one used by the employee who accompany you for a ride on the paths and beach. It is 6 CUC per hour.

If you want to make a ride at a specific day and time, it is recommended to reserve a day in advance especially during high seasons.
