Mangel Halto Guadirikiri Cave

Mangel Halto is the best place on earth to see the best eight
tonality of blue. The best time to see it is 9:30am in the morn-
ing with the sun in your back or in the afternoon between
3:30pm and 5pm. Mangel Halto has two sections, the la-
goon and the mangroves where you can spend a whole day
with the family under the mangroves. Very safe for kids with
free WIFI so you can upload your pictures immediately. Guadirikiri Cave is in the Arikok National Park. A cave with two chambers with a spectacular
Birdfeeder hole in the roof illuminating the cave with sunlight. Very safe to go in and find a few bats if you
go further into the cave. An ideal place for some stunning shots for nice memories. If you’re
lucky you will find a Park Ranger that will give you more information about the cave. There are
more caves in the park that you can visit and at the entrance they will tell you about them.
Bushiribana Natural Pool

Something that caught my attention over the last years is to
find many birdfeeders at Baby Beach. One of them told me
that the Laughing Gulls at Baby Beach love chocolate cook- The “New Natural Pool” is unique and for sure a nature’s piece of art. Located 200 meters east
ies. Many seabirds can be seen at Baby Beach during those of Bushiribana Ruins (Goldmine), a wooden stairs will take you down about 7 meters and you
unofficial feeding shows. To reach Baby Beach, just take the must walk on the cracked rock to reach the pool. This location is not so safe, so please take all
route from the hotel to the airport and keep going straight the necessary precautions. Once in the pool you will forget the risk you took to reach it. Before
up till you reach the Red Anchor and turn right, pick up your the wooden stairs was built, there was a rope to go down and up (like Tarzan) so you’re lucky
fresh coconut water just around the corner. Keep driving and that someone built a wooden stair.
at the beach area turn left and drive 2 minutes more.
