An excursion to nearby Caño Island is scuba-diving heaven, offering you stunning coral reefs and a variety of marine life, from sea turtles, dolphins and snapper to stingrays, barracudas, sharks and even whales. Even the starfish are colorful here, and gorgeous coral reefs are another underwater attraction that you won’t want to miss.

The island waters are part of a biological reserve that limits the number of divers, so reserve a spot before you go. Snorkeling is another option for viewing this marine world, and camping is available on the island as well.
