What you do
- Boat ride from Placencia past cayes and mangroves.
- Snorkel from the beach on the reef surrounding the caye.
- Kayaks and paddleboards included around the island.
- Beach barbecue and free time in hammocks before heading back.
Who it is for

What to bring
- Swimwear, towel and reef-safe sunscreen.
- Rash guard or extra sun protection.
- Dry bag for your phone and some cash.
Best time
February to June, when the sea is usually calmest for the crossing. The rest of the year departure depends on the wind.
