The last time I planted a sapling I had to make a steep one-hour climb up a mountain in Cebu, Philippines along with my high school classmates. Our teacher told us that the sapling would eventually grow into a tree and we would have succeeded in doing our part to help mother nature.
So when Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island's news landed in my inbox, I couldn't help but remember my high school experience. As part of its island experience, Anantara is inviting participants of its Culture and History Tour to plant their own mangrove tree at the end of the excursion.
By giving the tree a name, leaving a note when planting it into the water, or even taking pictures with it, guests have the chance to touch and see the environmental impact they have when visiting Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island.
The tour costs Dh235 for adults and Dh100 for children and is available for all Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island guests. Tours are available twice a day at 10am and 5:30pm. Call 02 8015266 or email activitiesdirs@anantara.com.
