Isle of Pines
As soon as you arrive at the Isle of Pines, you realise why the famous explorer James Cook, having discovered the island, gave it such a name.
The Betico follows the same route and takes you to the island’s most famous bay on arrival: Kuto Bay.
The beach is just 10 minutes away from the dock by foot. Its white sand is said to be finer than flour. The sea has shades of turquoise blue and is completely transparent.
Nearby you can discover Kanumera Bay
10-minute walk from the dock. Most of the accommodation (hotels, gites, camp sites) is located in this area, spread over these two bays. Just a five-minute shuttle ride to check in to your accommodation!
On a day trip, you will stay up to 8 hours and you will fully enjoy your day. Family picnic, bike ride, swimming or walk, so many activities which the whole family will adore!
