Hole in the Wall<br />
Thompsons Bay is known as one of our<br />
more popular swimming beaches. As<br />
you walk through the ‘Hole in the Wall’<br />
you will discover picturesque coves<br />
which leads to smaller stretches of<br />
deserted beaches. The snorkelling at<br />
Thompsons Bay tidal pool is also worth<br />
a mention, and is a must for the kids.<br />
Adventure Valley<br />
Adventure Valley is nestled in a valley<br />
along the Sampoya river. The abundant<br />
bird life attests to the fact that the forest<br />
surroundings are a perfect tranquil<br />
setting in the heart of nature. Nature<br />
lovers can experience the outdoors<br />
in a peaceful environment. The 1,5km<br />
Zipline Tour with the “first-in-the-world”<br />
Parazip is the most popular attraction<br />
on offer. The tour spans the valley<br />
and meanders into parts of the lush<br />
forest. Sliding along Zipline Cables and<br />
enjoying small walking trails that form<br />
part of the tour, make this adventure a<br />
memorable one. School Excursions and<br />
Camps are hosted on an exclusive basis.<br />
