Excursion with Snorkeling or Aquarium

Enjoy a unique experience in the Rosario Islands and Playa Blanca de Barú! Boat ride, snorkeling or aquarium, relaxation on idyllic beaches, and a traditional lunch by the sea.

First stop in front of the imposing castles of Bocachica, historic guardians of the city. The tour continues with a panoramic ride through the charming Rosario Islands, followed by a stop at San Quintín Island, where you will be greeted by colorful coral fish in crystal clear waters.
Then, we will stop at San Martín de Pajarales Island, where you will have to choose between two incredible experiences: visiting the aquarium or snorkeling.

• At the aquarium, you will marvel at a fascinating show featuring dolphins and sharks, and you will be able to see a wide variety of marine species such as turtles, coral fish, lobsters, octopuses, and seahorses.
• If you choose to snorkel, you will have a unique experience swimming in a vibrant coral reef. You will explore more than 40 species of coral and be surrounded by multicolored fish with which you can swim and play in their natural habitat.

In addition, we will take a panoramic tour of the natural bird sanctuary on Isla del Pavito, where you will see more than 15 species of seabirds, including the impressive frigatebird, known as “the pirate of the skies.”
On Isla Grande, you will have the opportunity to see the mysterious plane sunk in its waters.
