An over-sea cable car

The way to the island runs by cable car over the sea bay. From up high, views open onto the water, the boats, the shoreline and a floating fishing village — the sense of "soaring" above the island makes the excursion visually striking even before you set foot on it.

Meeting the macaques

The amusing, lively and very curious residents of the island. It is important to stay calm: do not tease the monkeys, do not hold food or shiny objects in your hands, and keep a firm grip on your phone, glasses and bag. You may feed them only the approved food and following your guide’s instructions.
