The destination of all tourists is unique - to be graced by the wonderfully beautiful landscapes 'the shark bay'. One of the distinctive peculiarities of the Gulf are sea-stromatoliths. These unique natural formations create the irresistible shape of the gulf.

Stromatolites are among the oldest living beings on earth. The scientists believe that they existed on our planet 3.5 billion years ago. In the course of millennial existence they have the small bright orange hills on the coast, which form an incredible beautiful contrast with the sky blue water. Many tourists prefer to enjoy the beauty of this area during the hikes. The other travelers order the helicopter excursions to admire the unique natural formation from the bird's eye view.

The marvelous Golf Shark is an excellent fit for the rest of the day and has many secrets. One of these secrets is the incredibly beautiful dolphins, which can be seen very frequently near the beach Monki Maya. Despite the frightening name, there are no sharks in 'the shark', so you can enjoy quiet and comfortable rest, admiring the wonderful coastal and underwater landscapes. To beginning
