Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before booking this tour.
What is the Isla Catalina tour about?
It is a sea day to Isla Catalina, traveling by speedboat and/or catamaran, with time to enjoy the colorful scenery and the underwater life of the coral reefs. Snorkeling in a natural pool, a Caribbean buffet lunch on the island and an open bar with national drinks are included, along with hotel pickup and return and a bilingual guide for the whole day.
Is snorkeling or scuba diving included?
Snorkeling in a natural pool is included, and it is the best way to see the reef life and colors the island is known for. Scuba diving is not listed among the inclusions, so do not count on it as part of the package. If you are a certified diver and want to ask about diving options, write to our team on WhatsApp and they will tell you what is possible.
What kind of boat takes us to the island?
The crossing is made by speedboat and/or catamaran, depending on the operation on your date. The tour description mentions a comfortable catamaran or a glass-bottom boat, which lets you look at the sea life on the way. The exact vessel and departure dock are confirmed by our team on WhatsApp after you book, together with your pickup details.
Are food and drinks included?
Yes. A Caribbean buffet lunch is served on the island, and there is an open bar with national drinks during the excursion. Premium and international drinks are not included, so if you prefer a specific imported brand you will need to pay for it separately. If you have a dietary restriction, mention it on WhatsApp after booking so the team can check it.
What should I bring for a day at sea and snorkeling?
Since the day combines a boat crossing, snorkeling and beach time on the island, bring a swimsuit, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and a change of clothes for the ride back. A waterproof bag for your phone is useful. Bring some cash for tips, souvenirs or premium drinks, because those are not included in the price of the tour.
How long is the excursion and is hotel pickup included?
The excursion lasts about 8 hours. Pickup and return to your hotel in an air-conditioned bus are included, so you are taken to the boat departure point and brought back at the end of the day. The exact pickup time depends on your hotel's location, and our team confirms it on WhatsApp after you book so you can plan your morning.
Is there a guide, and in which languages?
Yes. An official bilingual guide accompanies the group in English and Spanish, so you can ask questions and follow the instructions for the boat and the snorkeling stop in either language. Groups have a maximum of 30 participants. Tips for guides and crew are not included in the price and are left to your discretion at the end of the day.
How do I reserve and what is the cancellation policy?
You book online with a $10 deposit and pay the rest later. That deposit is non-refundable, and you can cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before the tour, with the deposit as the only exception. The excursion is run by a licensed local operator with a MITUR license and liability insurance, and our team is available 24/7 on WhatsApp for any change or question.
