Transportation, eco-tours, lunch/dinner, drinks and services while on the island are all paid separately but can be organized through us. Other things to note We highly recommend trying some of the mouthwatering fresh seafood on the island (lobster, crab, octopus, conch, prawns, shrimp). One of the best ways to keep cool is by swimming in the turquoise waters at the nearby beaches. One of our favorite activities is a scenic tour of the islands by boat, stopping at the Oceanarium, at our favorite beaches, and eating at a local restaurant on the waterfront. We also love to snorkel the coral reef and canoe through the mangrove trails. At night, you can swim or snorkel Laguna Encantada to see the bioluminescent plankton. It’s also fun to visit the town of Orika on a Friday or Saturday night when the locals listen to loud Champeta music and dance into the night. Registration Details 108169
