Beaches, Boats and Bodacious Waves: Samara Round Two

Our second go at Samara delivered pure joy. We spent the morning on a catamaran spotting dolphins, then hit the waves for body‑boarding and snorkelling. The boys mastered popping up on their boards and celebrated with ice cream on the sand. As the sun set, we played spikeball and made friends with local kids. Even the rain couldn’t dampen our spirits—Samara’s fun factor is hard to beat.

Family travel tip: Body‑boarding and snorkelling are great starter activities for kids. Rent gear from reputable shops and ask about current conditions. Stay hydrated and apply reef‑safe sunscreen even on cloudy days. End the day with a mango batido (smoothie) from a beach stall.
