The Adventure
An adventure that is a “must see” is the Isla Coronado Tour. Typically lasting from half to a full day, this beautiful island experience encompasses a panga or boat ride around the island with a mid trip landing on the white sandy beaches of Isla Coronado. At the island, you can swim, snorkle or just enjoy the beautiful tropical sun. The typical boat used for this tour is called a “panga”, a simple, safe boat that the locals have traditionally used for fishing. Your guide or capitan will point out the various types of sea life that you may experience along the way.
