Water Activities:
We invest about 40% of our incomes in projects that help the environment.
Are carried out daily by boat from the main beach of Curu Wild Life Refuge, where on the island you will enjoy the beautiful scenery and the calm and crystal water of the white sand beach. The ride takes about 10 minutes on a boat with outboard motors. On the way to the island you can observe the sedimentary rocks covered with trees and see some marine animals. You can also learn about the names and history of the islands.
SNORKELINGWe visit small islands off the main beach of Islas Tortuga. The boat leaves from the main beach at Curu Wild Life Refuge and travels for about 10 minutes to the group of island named Turtle Islands. Your can carry your own equipment for snorkeling or rent a set for $5. (snorkel, fins, mask). Snorkeling sites are accessible only by boat, but shallow and calm. If wanted you can ask the captain for a life jacket to float and watch the fish from the surface.
We rent them by the hour for those who may prefer to paddle in the Curu bay or in the estuary or the Curu River. Another option is to visit the white sand beach of Quesera or Poza Colorada, about 30 minutes east of Curú. For the more experience ones Islas Tortuga is about 1 hr from Curú. We offer the open kayaks for two people or the sit-on-top, and the close one. We offer guided kayak tours to different areas around Curu or Islas Tortuga.
