We’ll equip ourselves with all the necessary equipment and begin disembarking from the boat to begin snorkeling.

In our experience, this bay is one of the best we have for snorkeling. It’s like a natural aquarium where you can observe reef sharks, sea lions, schools of fish, rays, and much more.
--:--
In the bay, you can observe many sea turtles, making it an ideal place to swim with them. The bay is shallow (between 1 and 2 meters), allowing for close encounters.
