Planning Your Outing

Infants have been taken on this tour; they are required to wear a life vest whenever the boat is moving, and if an infant stays on the boat an adult must remain with them.
Can I bring my dog on the boat?
The operator is pet friendly, but pets are required to wear a life vest while on the boat.
My partner is pregnant. Can she still enjoy the tour?
Yes — pregnant guests may join the tour; the operator recommends mentioning the pregnancy to the captain so the ride can be made as smooth as possible.
Will I get seasick?
La Parguera is not known for high seas, though boat wakes and small chop can occur; if you are prone to seasickness you may wish to take medication.
Will my weight or age be a problem boarding the boat?
