    The snorkeling trip to Cano Island was fantastic! Itā€™s a beautiful ride out to the island (about 1-1:20hr ride) but can be a bit rough for those who might get sea sick. The snorkeling visibility was excellent. Jellyfish were a bit of a nuisance. Nothing more than little, quick stings but irritating for those not prepared for it. Wearing long sleeve shirt/rash guard is very helpful. The guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable. We saw a ton of sea life, including multiple sea turtles. After snorkeling, there was a report of whale sightings so we bypassed getting off on the island, ate a quick lunch (which was fantastic!) and went to see a mama humpback and her baby! Awesome day. Would highly recommend!

    Wonderful whale watching tour. The tour guide and sailors were fantastic and very knowledgeable. We saw the stunning coast line of the Marino Bellena National Park including some amazing rock formations. We were also lucky enough to spend time with a mother and calf humpback whales. It was amazing to see them and learn that the park was a nursery for the young while they get big and strong enough for their migration south. A great experience, highly recommend.

    Did an “inshore” fishing excursion with Ramon and crew. Wonderful experience. We ended up quite a ways offshore. Caught a couple of mackerel and a couple of Mahi Mahi.
