Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
I don't know how to swim. Can I still enjoy the sandbars, reefs and bioluminescent bay?
Yes — most visited areas are waist‑ or chest‑deep; the bioluminescent bay can be deeper, and life vests are provided if necessary.
Can infants enjoy this experience?
Infants have been accommodated; they are required to wear a life vest whenever the boat is moving. If an infant remains on the boat, an adult must stay with them.
Can I bring my dog on the boat?
Yes — the operator is pet friendly, but pets are required to wear a life vest while aboard.
My partner is pregnant; can she still enjoy the tour?
Pregnant guests can join the tour, and it is recommended you mention the pregnancy to the captain so they can make the boat ride as smooth as possible.
Will I get seasick?
La Parguera is not known for high seas, but boat wakes and small chop can occur; if you are prone to seasickness, you may want to take medication before the trip.
Will my weight or age be a problem?
You should be able to get in and off the boat. There can be weight limitations on ladders — advise staff in advance so they can assess the appropriate boat for your party.
