For those who simply want to enjoy the scenery, a quiet trip across the lake in a sailboat or pedalo provides time to admire the beauty of the surrounding hills.
An adventure awaits you in the Valley of the Waves - providing you with a gentle water ride or a death-defying waterslide down the mountain into the pool below. Wander through the tropical forest or laze on a superb beach in an inland sea complete with two-metre high waves!
