                    |  | This is an exciting experience 
                      for all ages. I'd recommend taking a camera with you to 
                      get some really good scenic aerial shots. The most common 
                      spots for take off and other rentals are: south to north 
                      near Los Sabalos, Costa de Oro, El Cid and Pueblo Bonito 
                      resorts. |  |

                      Surfing are other rental water activities in the resort 
                      zone. Surfing is best in the south of the Golden Zone near 
                      Valentinos and in the north at Playa Bruja. If you were 
                      to spend time at Playa Bruja, besides surfing, wading, swimming, 
                      looking for seashells, you can take a ride on one of Ginger's 
                      horses or a burro cart ride. |  |

                    |  | Ginger, a transplanted Bellingham, WA native 
                      since 1979 has operated a stable that is open from 10 am 
                      to 4 pm daily except Sunday for horseback or burro cart 
                      rides. There are bilingual guides along with Andy (Andres), 
                      her husband, who has been known to serenade his cart-tour 
                      guests. |  |

                    |  | Snorkeling at Deer island includes getting 
                      an amphibian ride to the island from the El Cid resort. 
                      This can be a full day picnic activity for the whole family 
                      that could include hiking, swimming or just laying around. 
                      Take some food and refreshments as they can be limited or 
                      non-existent on the island. |  |
