1. Sustainable Horseback Adventure
Take your delegates on a scenic horseback ride along the shores of Mykonos and craft the perfect backdrop for your next incentive with a team-building activity that couples sport with leisure. Led by Fanis Rouvas, a seasoned riding instructor with over two decades of experience, it’s a chance to take in the island’s surroundings from a new perspective while practicing a new skill. Most of the horses used for these rides are rescue animals that have been rehabilitated on the island for the past 11 years, meaning you’re safe in the knowledge that you’re giving back to the local surroundings and helping to make a difference to the wildlife on the island.
2. Underwater Safari & Desert Island Adventure
Dive into the crystal-clear waters surrounding Mykonos and discover a world of wonder beneath the surface. With two shipwrecks and a rich variety of marine life, there's no shortage of excitement for diving enthusiasts and for those who’ve never dived, it’s the perfect chance to step out of their comfort zones and embrace new challenges. Visibility is fantastic, and sites are adapted to weather conditions and diver experience levels, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all. For experienced divers, there’s the option of Night Diving, NITROX-enriched air, and Deep Diving Adventure and Specialties, otherwise for more beginner-friendly reefs opt for the shallower waters. Along the way enjoy incredible views and rich marine wildlife from octopus and barracuda to lobster and nudibranchs! After Paradise Reef, Paradise Point, and The Anna II Wreck, make your way to the desert island of Dragonisi – best known for its incredible blue water and Monarchus monk seals. Whether you're a seasoned diver or a novice, Mykonos' underwater world is sure to leave you in awe.
