ACTIVITIES

Swimming
Swimming in the estuary in front of the lodge is safe and pleasant. Swimming at the main beach is fine at low tide, but can be dangerous at high tide, when currents are strong and the surf is rough.

Snorkeling - Fuel charge only
There is a small reef in the estuary a couple of hundred metres in front of the lodge. This reef is full of fish and is a wonderful area to snorkel. At low tide the water at the reef may be discolored as the water from higher up the estuary moves over it, but once there is some tidal push the water quickly clears. One can get a ride out to the estuary reef with a boat and snorkel safely with the boat drifting at anchor nearby. Guests must bring their own snorkeling equipment, as the lodge does no supply snorkeling gear.

There is a reef about ten kilometers down the beach from the estuary mouth in front of the old San Sebastian lighthouse. This reef protects a sheltered bay, which is fantastic for swimming and snorkeling during low tide. There are caves and overhangs on the inside of the reef, which are packed with colorful tropical reef fish. Management at the lodge will organize excursions to the reef on request.

Walking
It takes about an hour to circumnavigate Linene Island itself and many guests enjoy the relaxing walk. The main beach is excellent for walking; you can walk for hours in your own private paradise without seeing another soul. For those who like to keep fit, a long jog on the hard sand of the beach over the low tide period is highly recommended.

Bird watching
The coastal scrub and dune forests in the area are home to a number of interesting forest birds such as purple banded sunbird, green coucal and grey waxbills. The estuary has flocks of resident flamingos as well as migrant waders. The beach has waders and a variety of terns and gulls. After a big storm out at sea unusual sea birds are often blown in and one can see rare sightings of birds such as sooty tern, greater frigate bird and yellow nosed albatross. Mangrove kingfishers are fairly common in the mangroves in the estuary. Crab plovers often flock on the beaches at Linene.

Shell Collecting
If one walks along the high water mark on the beach many interesting shells can be picked up. Pansy Island however is literally covered in beautiful shells of the area and is well worth a trip for shell collecting. Pansy shells are common in the area and can be picked up in their hundreds. These shells belong to a creature of the sea urchin family, which lives under the sand on the shallow sandbanks. Pansy shells are very fragile and should be handled gently to keep them from breaking. Trips out to Pansy Island can be arranged with lodge management.
