Swim sheltered rock pools, drift in a sheltered lagoon and relax on Mar Chiquita’s crescent beach on this five-hour private tour from Manatí. Guides provide floatation and transport while you explore calm tidal basins formed in limestone shelves.

You step off the vehicle and the Atlantic presses close: wind shapes the limestone, waves punctuate the air, and a series of calm, shallow basins sit like glass cut into rock. The tour moves from sheltered tidal pools to a wider crescent of sand at Mar Chiquita, where an opening in a rock wall funnels surf into a lagoon that can feel both forgiving and alive.
