The 224 acres in which Naia is nestled is home to its own set of unique and accessible experiences. Birders can get a glimpse of the birds that call Naia home with the help of our resident birding guide, kayak the lagoon and bask in the ethereal silence of mangrove cathedrals, or paddle out to sea to explore False Caye and its myriad coral formations.
