The tour on the Catamaran is very beautiful!!! We loved it. !! It lasts more than two hours and in front of the boardwalk you look for dolphins and you have a good time there. We saw about 20 different dolphins. I have taken the boat tour on Aguada Island and if you want something on the island and not go there I highly recommend the catamaran! At a super price! There is live music all the time as well as food and drink service!

Excellent seasoning, all the dishes (shrimp, fish, fried rice, etc.) are very delicious. Suggestion to take the first tour of the Terminus lagoon on your catamaran (boat) and when you return, delight in its dishes.
