The snorkeling trip to Cano Island was fantastic! It’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!
