Overview

Half an hour on a water bike, over clear, calm water close to shore. You pedal out from Playa Piskadó, the fishing beach where green turtles feed on the seagrass, and the water is clear enough to spot one from the saddle when it rises for air. The guide rides along, sets the pace, and shoots free photos of the group. Life jacket on, no experience needed, no swimming required. Slots every half hour from 9:30 to 11:30, Wednesday to Sunday.
