About this experience
Enjoy seven hours aboard Manta, a 27-foot Boston Whaler reserved exclusively for your group of up to six guests. A licensed local captain and crew personalize the day around your group’s interests while selecting the safest route among Icacos, Palomino, or Piñero. Two planned guided snorkeling stops, beach time, a floating water mat, music, snorkeling gear, drinks, snacks, and your selected meal option—charcuterie, prepared lunch, or BBQ—create a complete and relaxed private experience without sharing the boat with other travelers.

During the day, enjoy two planned guided snorkeling stops, swim in clear water, and relax on the beach or floating water mat. Snorkeling equipment and assistance from the crew are provided. Marine-life sightings vary and cannot be guaranteed.
