Things to know
- Who it’s forSuitable for the whole family and for non-swimmers: at the Aquarium you float with the life vest, which is included, or stay where the water comes up to your ankles. Minors always go with an adult, and children ages 0 to 4 don’t pay (they take up a seat on the boat). When getting on and off the boat at the beaches, help young children and older adults: how much it moves depends on the waves that day, and the crew is ready to help them.
- Lunch and drinks on your ownThe tour doesn’t include lunch, drinks or snacks. On Johnny Cay and Haynes Cay there are restaurants and kiosks for every budget: bring cash.
- What to bringSwimsuit on, a towel and light clothes for the transfers. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a cap or hat that fits well. Cash for the port tax ($5,000 COP), lunch, drinks and mask rental. Water shoes are ideal for walking on the coral at the Aquarium.
- Paying the balanceYou pay the balance to the operator on the day of the tour: in cash, by bank transfer or by card, whichever you prefer.
- Port taxSeparately from the balance, the port tax is paid at the dock: $5,000 COP per person, in cash, before departure. Children ages 0 to 4 don’t pay it. Johnny Cay admission is already included in your rate.
- If the weather prevents sailingIf DIMAR (the Port Authority) closes operations that day because of the weather, we let you know right away on WhatsApp and reschedule your tour at no cost or refund 100% of your deposit.
