Activity description

Trusted local pick

A perfect combination: visit the breathtaking Hato Caves and one of the most beautiful beaches on the island.

This cave is home to stunning limestone formations, romantic pools, a colony of seldom-seen long-nose fruit bats, and stalactites and stalagmites still in formation. To reach the cave entrance, you’ll need to climb 49 steps, but the breathtaking views and fascinating history make it well worth the effort.

Then, we stop at Playa Piskado for a once-in-a-lifetime snorkeling experience with sea turtles in their natural habitat.

The next stop is Porto Marie Beach for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing on the beach.

Finally, on our way back, we'll drive by the salt lake at St. Willibrordus to see the flamingos.

Bob was a great host for this tour, extremely knowledgable about his country. Learned a lot of interesting facts that I did not know before. Hato Caves were very interesting and seeing the waves at the national park was breath taking! Lunch was delicious.
