Travelers

You step aboard a low-slung catamaran as the morning sun chisels the horizon into hard gold. The engine hums into a steady, contented rhythm and the Caribbean around Bávaro spreads like a living map — shallow turquoise shelves, darker reef lines, and the occasional white flash where a wave caves and climbs. The boat leans into the trade wind and the sea takes on a voice, urging you forward.

Adventure Tips

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Standard sunscreens harm coral—choose a mineral, reef-safe formula and reapply after swimming.

Take seasickness precautions

If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding—stability helps but open ocean can still roll.

Footwear for the beach stop

Pack water shoes for the natural pool and beach restaurant to protect feet from rocky sand and coral fragments.

Confirm pickup details

Provide your hotel name and expect pickup about 60 minutes before departure; contact supplier if you don't receive details 72 hours prior.
