Lighthouse activities

Dhows_sailing
The Lighthouse Beach Resort offers you peace and recreation, but we also have several activities to offer you to keep you and your fellow travelers busy.

The 2,5 km long sandy beach, with its barriers of corals occupy most visitors, but to “light up” your day, we offer a handful of exiting and cultural activities, spanning from romantic beach lunches to cultural walks in the area, maybe including some insight in the rural village life present.

“The hunt for fresh honey!”
Crouched down and without lights, in the dark evening, you sit in the middle bush and feel the tension in your body. The only thing that could be seen were the four branches that lay on the ground, burning a little, and the small flare made of palm leaves that the watchman bring further and further into the buzzing hole. Tension is rising in steps with the intensity of the buzz.

“The hunt for…!”
With a two-meter-long spear in hand, four dogs and a local hunter, you are ready to enter into the dense bush. Dogs chasing the scent, and while the excited hunters trying to keep up, the high screams from the little unpredictable animal sounds towards you.

Beach_lunch
“Romantic beach lunch!”
After a pleasant walk across the white sandy beach you will come up to the pre-designated lunch spot. On a mat you find the exotic lunch with the sea's temptations and fresh garden fruits. The freezing cold champagne will be opened and served before you are abandoned. All by yourself you can enjoy the next few hours only in each other's company.

“Looking for cold blooded friends…!”
After a joint training of how to use of a stick and Panga (machete), you all head to the bush. The experienced watchman at the front explains some of his broken English as you approach the cliffs where the reptiles are sleepy in the warm sun.

Cashew_nut_production
“The local nut production!”
The children sit and look into the small fire. Waiting for the fresh oil in the nuts, at the small dish in the center would begin to catch proper fire. When the flames really get up, they take out the burning pieces and threw sand over the coal-black nuts to cool them. Then they began the big job of taking off the outer shell, the size of two thumbs, and peel them out of the thin membrane that protects the nut inside. So it's your turn. One and are burned and peeled by hand! The nuts we so often complain about the price of.
