Skip the crowded beach resorts and head to the southwest for real adventure. Spend your morning on a guided dolphin encounter boat tour—book the eco-friendly options to avoid the chaotic tourist fleets. If you prefer land, rent a private taxi for a day trip to hit the Chamarel waterfall and seven-colored earth without the tour bus stress. Give it at least two full days to explore the rugged coast. It beats sitting in a hotel lobby.
