You will participate in a hands-on workshop learning how locals harvest, process, and utilize every part of the coconut, from making fresh milk to traditional crafts. This interactive experience offers a genuine glimpse into island life beyond the typical tourist trails.

In the afternoon, transition to a meaningful encounter with the gentle giants at the sanctuary.
