Spend three hours cruising Bávaro’s turquoise coast on a lively catamaran: snorkel a shallow reef, relax in a natural sandbank pool with rum punch, and enjoy music-led fun on board. Ideal for first-time snorkelers and travelers looking to combine beach time with a social boat party.

The catamaran cuts through turquoise water off Bávaro as palms slide past the shoreline — music pulsing, cold rum punch within reach. You step from deck into ankle-deep clarity at the sandbar, then into deeper water for a guided snorkel at Shallow Reef where bright parrotfish and coral heads bristle like underwater gardens.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect the coral and your skin — apply before boarding and reapply with a towel-dry method after water stops.
Secure valuables
Use a waterproof phone pouch and keep ID/cash in a zippered pouch — decks get wet during entry and exit.
Mind the ladder
Board and disembark slowly; the crew will steady the ladder but wet surfaces are slippery.
Follow snorkel briefings
Listen to guides for hand signals, buddy rules, and no-touch policies to stay safe and minimize reef damage.
Swimsuit
Wear under your clothes for easy boarding and quick-dry comfort.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects fragile coral ecosystems and prevents sunburn during exposed deck time.

Waterproof phone case
Keeps your phone dry for photos and emergency contact while on the water.
