OSM maps the red-marked Mangrove Trail boardwalk and the Ephelia Nature Hike. SMAC Adventures (tel +248 2 518 864) runs a zipline circuit and an 18 m granite rock-climb at the Constance Ephelia resort (Wikivoyage, 2021); Seyvillas describes eight zipline stages ending with a 120 m run across a jungle valley. Book ahead.
