What to expect
You'll meet your licensed guide at the departure point and board a private boat equipped with life vests. The tour moves between four main destinations — typically starting with a quieter beach like Paradise or Nat Nat for swimming and relaxation, then progressing to the lagoons. At Cadlao Lagoon and Small Lagoon you'll have the option to kayak (rental extra) and snorkel with your own mask and snorkel or rented gear. The boat provides drinks throughout. You'll return to shore after 7 hours.
