About Your Trip

Join Luis for a memorable trip to Coral Island, a protected natural area known for its clear waters, abundant marine life, and beautiful coastal scenery. This 4- to 5-hour self-guided excursion is perfect for families, couples, and groups looking to experience the natural beauty of the region from the water.

Available start times include 7:00 a.m., 8:00 a.m., and 9:00 a.m. Please note that departure times are not flexible.

The adventure begins with a scenic
ride across the bay to Coral Island, where you'll have the opportunity to explore the area's vibrant marine ecosystem. Along the way and around the island, you may encounter a wide variety of fish and other local wildlife that call these waters home.

Once at the island, guests can use the provided snorkeling equipment to explore the reef and observe the underwater world up close. Fishing gear is also included, allowing you to spend time fishing during the trip. Trolling with artificial baits is a common fishing method used, giving guests the opportunity to target a variety of local species while enjoying the ride to and from the island.

All gear is included, including snorkeling equipment, fishing gear, life jackets, drinks, snacks, lunch, and wristbands for island access. Fish cleaning is included for any legal catch you decide to keep.

During the winter months, guests may also have the opportunity to observe whales and dolphins, adding another unique element to the experience. As with all wildlife encounters, sightings cannot be guaranteed.

This trip is child friendly and disability friendly, making it a great option for a wide range of guests. Beer is permitted in cans, and guests are welcome to bring additional personal items they'd like during the trip.

Whether you're interested in snorkeling, fishing, wildlife viewing, or simply spending time on the water, Luis offers a relaxing way to experience one of the area's most beautiful natural destinations. Bring your camera and get ready to explore Coral Island.

Incredible morning fishing with Miguel who picked us up and dropped us off at The One & Only Mandarina from the beach. We saw whales, dolphins, and caught rooster fish, jurel, and a bonito. Captain and first mate were amazing, 10/10 experience. Would HIGHLY recommend!

We had a great trip with Buoy and Chenta. Right on time start in the morning. Buoy is very knowledgeable about all the marine life and both he and Chenta were very observant and were able to locate dolphins and feeding fish. Both my daughter and I were able to reel in Jack Crevalle fish! They also showed us a school of rays we would not have noticed without their observations. We really enjoyed the snorkeling around coral island - the main reason for booking our sea adventure. We also enjoyed the short hike to an observation point. The trip was personalized to us -
