Fun way to visit the white sand beaches and snorkel
Had an excellent time on this island tour and snorkeling adventure. We traveled safely by speedboat, stopped to learn about two of the islands and then our first excursion was snorkeling in the blue ( pretty shallow) water. Snorkeling gear was provided and seeing the colorful fish easily was one of my favorite parts of the trip. We visited two more islands with beach access, chairs and sun beds and lunch included. The tour guide Franklin and two captains were great. Be prepared to climb in and out of the boat several times, Would highly recommend.

The sports boat does not provide shade from the sun
The sports boat does not provide shade from the sun at the back and we got very sunburned, which made it difficult to enjoy the ride. The return time is very early, we all would have liked to stay longer in Baru

Excellent service but many vendors.
The experience was very nice, the downside is that the vendors are very pushy.
