Other Activities in Los Roques

---

We have kayaks, snorkel gear, and the guidance of our amazing local staff to find the best spots to get to throughout the several islands nearest to the Vela Los Roques. If you are looking for something extra...

Hiking:
Take a morning or late-afternoon trek to the top of the volcanic hump that gives the main-island (Gran Roque) its name. Standing at less than 500 feet elevation, it won't seem like you are on top of the world, but you will get some great views of the area plus the sailing area you've been playing in to the east. Don't forget to check out the working lighthouse on the furthest tip of the island.

Scuba Diving:
Diving throughout the archipelago of the Los Roques National Park provides an incredible experience. This is a perfect place for this sport, with large barrier reefs surround the archipelago and some of the most exceptional conditions you can dream of: crystal clear waters, water temperatures on the 80's, great amount of flora and fauna, dozens of diving spots to suit everyone's preferences from shallow waters to vertical walls or caves full of life, and some really spectacular night dives.

Downwinders:
Interested in taking some windsurf gear or your own kitesurf gear on an adventure? We can arrange solo or assisted downwinders and kitesurfaris, many with at least 4-hours of straight downwind time. Ask us for more details, and we'd be thrilled to help!

Bonefishing:
This may be the place with the highest concentration of BONEFISH in this planet. Fishing is mainly done by wadding on flats, but also found some mudding at deeper waters, sizes are very large and amount of fishes, you have to see it to believed. You'll find one of the best places you can imagine to fish, not only because the great amount of fishes, but also the great amount of flats waiting for you to wade in and catch more fishes than you ever imagined. Bonefish is the main actor, but here you will find as well PERMITS, TARPONS and SNOOKS. And if you like some trolling, a BARRACUDA is great on a fly rod. Wind, weather and water conditions are great most of the year, making it possible to fish all year around and have a great experience.

Sailing:
Chartered boating services come easy in Los Roques, as many captains are more than happy to call the moorings their home. Day trips can normally be arranged the day before a trip, and if the winds are strong you can explore much of the area over generally flat and clam waters.

Absolutely Nothing!
There is no shame in this: take it easy and enjoy your incredible and remote surroundings! All complete packages with the posada offered through Vela include daily "Excursions" which are arranged with local boat captains. Each day you'll depart with a picnic lunch, beach-umbrella, and beach-chairs plus plenty of water bottles, and extra sun-screen to spend the day at one of the neighboring islands. Most likely, you'll go straight to Francisqui Abajo, the peninsula which is home to Vela Los Roques. But, if it isn't windy on a particular day or you are a non-sailing guest, you can ask the captain to take you to any secluded beach within the range of the "Excursions" and you may find yourself a lone soul on an uninhabited island or tiny caye in this exceptional national park. Bring a book, and you are SET!
