Destinations and Package Activities
It is expected that this package would have a total of 13 diving opportunities for the guests. But before that, it’s important to know the places and spots where it is best to dive. Salvatierra, El Bajo, and Swanee Reef are some of the destinations perfect for finding the perfect dive spot.

Kayaking is one of the activities that can happen depending on the time of the year. If you want to have this kind of activity in your package, it is a wise move to book one ahead of time. Bird watching and day hiking are also some activities that are meant to be seasonal and rare.
