Beach Day - Palm Island - Beach Day Adventure! - Tripoli District
  • Palm Island - Beach Day Adventure!

    Also known as "Palms Island," or "Jazeeret al Araneb," this seasonal public island is located across from Al Mina city in the North. The island is a protected reserve for nine months each year to maintain the natural balance, as it serves as a nesting site for sea turtles during the winter.

    When we arrive in El Mina, we'll board a boat to Palm Island, where we'll begin with a delightful tour to explore its natural beauty. After the tour, you'll have plenty of time to swim and relax on the island, enjoying the serene surroundings for approximately 3 to 4 hours.

About Us

About Us

Vamos Todos is an ecotourism NGO that promotes and encourages the love of nature amongst its members, thus seeing life through a new perspective.

The name Vamos Todos, which means "Let's go all together" was chosen to reflect the spirit of our club, where you can participate “in a different way, in a better way”, which is also our slogan, in any of the multitude of activities which will be organized for you, with one major goal in mind: HAVING A GREAT TIME.

The club was founded in September 2006, by Mark Aoun, a Lebanese guy who has been hiking for more than 20 years, and has been all over Lebanon as well as some other countries. He would like to share with you his love for nature and life, introducing you to the magnificent place which is our home country.

Our success goes to a professional team who gave from their heart to ensure this NGO’s success. We cannot omit mentioning those who were with Vamos Todos as of the beginning, namely: Alba Wardini who is the heart of Vamos Todos and Tania Charabati. We were one team at the launch of VT!

Special thanks to the professional guides, particularly Tony Fallakha and Elie Saade, who gave and are still giving so much for VT.

We, at Vamos Todos, plan to help you enjoy every single moment you spend with us by offering you a variety of social events, outdoor adventures, sports activities, overseas trips and unusual experiences which will whisk you away for a day or two from your daily routine, bringing you back happy, refreshed and ready to confront another tiring week of work.
