Contoy Island Excursion

Cruise to Contoy Island and enjoy its scenic beauty, and snorkel in the barrier reef


Overview
Embark on a cruise, replica of a famous discovery vessel, and explore the natural wonders of the uninhabited bird paradise of Isla Contoy. The discovery vessel transports you back in time as you set sail towards the barrier reef. Snorkel in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean and spot schools of tropical fish swim past you.

At Contoy Island, enjoy the beauty of its secluded sandy beaches fringed with lush palm trees and a colourful birdlife. Take a walk around the island and you might chance upon birds such as frigate, brown pelican and double-crested cormorant among others. It is also an important nesting place for sea turtles.

This tour is a great chance to learn about the many tropical sea-birds in their natural habitat. Enjoy a delicious barbeque fish buffet lunch prepared by Captain Miguel and spend some time lounging on its silvery sand and soaking up the sun.
