Manta Ray Experience in Cayo Acuario
Enjoy a unique aquatic experience for your stay in San Andres with this Manta-Ray encounter in Cayo Acuario. Put on your swimsuit, climb on board the boat, and come and see the most beautiful marine species of the Colombian Caribbean: manta rays.
Manta Ray Experience in Cayo Acuario
We'll meet at Newball Avenue at the chosen time and head to the San Andrés island's port to board our boat! As we drift through the idyllic crystal waters, you will enjoy splendid views of the picturesque palm groves!
The destination is Cayo Acuario - a heavenly enclave that welcomes us with its exotic vegetation and fine white sands. Here, you will meet the area's most popular inhabitants - the manta rays! Gazing through the water from the boat, you will see these amazing creatures enjoying their natural habitat.
Then we get off the boat and into the water. As the tide is low, we can wade through the Caribbean interacting with the rays. Using your own snorkel equipment you can approach them, greet them, and even pet them!
After the experience, you can explore Cayo Acuario or walk around nearby Haynes Key, before embarking on the journey back to the port of San Andrés. We will accompany you back to the meeting point to conclude the activity.
The total duration of the activity is 7 hours.
Excursion only
When making the reservation, you can choose the option that includes only the visit to Cayo Aquario, without interacting with the rays. You can relax on the beach, bathe in its calm Caribbean waters and enjoy this unique landscape. The duration of the activity is 5 hours.
