? Full Description
Begin your day in Uvita where you’ll board a comfortable boat early in the morning. As you sail toward Caño Island, the guides keep a sharp lookout for marine life — dolphins and whales may appear, depending on the season. Once you arrive at the island, you’ll go through a safety briefing and then dive into two separate snorkeling sessions, exploring underwater spots chosen based on current conditions.
