If you have children there is no better place to take them than The Strand Water Park which is free and only a 5 minute walk from Tropic Sails' base.If it's fun you're after then take a scenic ride with Tropicana Tours in their famous stretch jeep, or learn about the history of this beautiful region with Tony from Kookaburra Tours.
