Tour Description

Your adventure kicks off at Cotton Cay Pier, also referred to as the Police Pier. It is crucial to arrive by 10:15 am as the boat sets sail at 10:30 am towards the mangroves. This area is renowned for its rich biodiversity, featuring numerous bird species and marine life that are rarely visible from the mainland.

The journey's first destination is El Palito, a tiki bar perched on the water, embodying a Caribbean vibe that makes it an ideal spot to enjoy a drink with the ocean beneath you. Following this, the boat navigates to Rocky Cay, where the remains of a sunken ship have transformed into one of the archipelago's most picturesque locales. The tour proceeds to Haynes Cay, where the crystal-clear waters and unparalleled visibility of its natural aquarium provide an excellent opportunity for swimming, floating, and observing the underwater scenery without any gear.

Next, the route leads you to Rose Cay, popularly known as San Andrés's Instagram Beach. Here, you’ll find waters in a spectrum of blue hues, pristine white sands, and a vibrant color palette perfect for your photos. The climax of the snorkeling experience occurs at Mundo Marino, where well-maintained coral reefs and a wide variety of tropical fish make it a traveler favorite.

The excursion concludes at White Wata, a sandbar surrounded by the shallow waters of the renowned Sea of Seven Colors. This site is perfect for swimming, independent snorkeling, or unwinding before the journey back. The boat will then pause at a beach bar for lunch, featuring local cuisine served right on the water.
