Hover over the beach and head out over the open ocean, keeping your eyes peeled for turtles, dolphins and even whales, depending on the season. Fly over the famous “Whale’s Tail” and head back over the lush green mountains, with their hidden treasures of cascading waterfalls, before arriving at the hacienda.
