Set sail from Bávaro on a private catamaran to snorkel vibrant reefs, relax on a secluded beach with fresh coconut, and float in a crystalline Natural Pool. This six-hour cruise mixes easy water time with a BBQ and open bar—ideal for small groups wanting an exclusive ocean day.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran drops anchor off Bávaro as the horizon flattens and the ocean breathes around you. Salt and lime cut through the air, rhythms from the onboard speakers pulse low, and the crew—focused and familiar—prepares the line for snorkeling at a nearby reef. Guests step into warm turquoise water, masks catching flashes of parrotfish and brain coral; later the boat slides into a shallow Natural Pool where the sea becomes a gentle bathtub under open sky.
