Landlubbers will also find many things to do on Mindoro. We offer, for instance, trekking excursions and picnic trips to many places on the island.

The tropical scenery on Mindoro is
unsurpassed.
There are, of course, plenty of palms, but you'll also be able to see thousands of other exotic plants and animals on our trekking trips. Food and beverages are included in the price and will be brought by your guide. The only thing you have to do is concentrate on the surroundings. Bring your bathing suit so you can enjoy a refreshing swim in one of the many water ponds nature has provided along the route. |
| Many deserted beaches are found on
Mindoro. Just tell us when and where you want to go, and we'll take
you there by boat. We'll take care of the food and beverages. Of course, if you'd like to dive while at one of these places that can be arranged too. |

Spend a day shooting at friends and strangers alike on a tropical beach: Play paintball! We provide everything: Gun, equipment, lots of barbeque and drinks as well as a free "Fun with guns in the sun" T-shirt. |

There is an amazing amount of scenic nature in the whole area and a motorcycle gives you the perfect freedom of movement in it. We arrange off-road motorcycle rentals, which provide the ideal transportation on the usually-not-paved roads. |
| Imagine a gentle massage for two or three hours on the
sandy beach accompanied by the sound of waves breaking gently in the
background. This is a real scoop! For about 6 US dollars you can get a full hour of body massage from one of the many locals that offer it (mostly women, but also some men). You decide whether to get it on the sandy beach, your room, or wherever you want. If you want several hours at one time the locals are also usually willing to bargain about an even better price. One of the specialists in the area, and "the man with the vice grip fingers" is Dodong, pictured at right. His massage technique, combined with a special Eucalyptus oil, add up to a massage you'll never forget. There is no shame in even grown men asking him to go a little easy... |

A 9-hole golf course is situated up a mountainside about 1 hours drive from Sabang. All equipment can be rented here. Because the course is so elevated it comes as no big surprise that the view from here is astounding - the course has a reputation for being one of the most beautiful in Asia. |
| There are several miles of interesting coastline in and around Puerto Galera that just beg to be explored by kayak. You (and maybe some friends) can rent a few kayaks and go exploring for the day. We can even take care of packing the kayaks with food and drink so you can be self-sufficient for the duration. |
It's also worth mentioning that the local population are extremely child-friendly and therefore also children can have a great stay here. The unfamiliar surroundings invite to explore the world at all levels. It's also easy to arrange for childcare if you need a little room to yourself.

Not everybody would like to take a diving certificate. Therefore we offer many other activities that don't require water tanks on your back:
It's not quite the same, but it's almost just as good: Go snorkeling in the area and experience the amazing corals and colorful fish from above. There are excellent snorkeling areas right outside our resort on Big Lalaguna - just put on a mask and snorkel and hit the water from the beach. Another great way is to come along in the boat when somebody you know is going diving. Then you can follow them from above and see what they're doing (if they're not going too deep, of course).
