While enjoying the afternoon sun and warm sea waters, also indulge in a few Mai Tai cocktails served up in the hotels there.
Go to Volcanoes National Park
Located at the south, the Volcanoes National Park boasts a sight to behold. And if you are worried about aggressive eruptions and hot lava raining all over the place, it’s not the case.

Also, try out some local dishes like Spam Msubi and poké which are very yummy during your travels.
