About this experience
Seize the opportunity to climb Lion Mountain on an 8 km hike with a unique dip in the endemic flora of the valley. Lion Mountain, situated in the South East of the island, shall leave you amazed with the breathtaking scenery of the turquoise lagoons, as well as the islets and coast.
