I had the opportunity to take a tour of Caño Island. Since I was a little kid, I have loved swimming in the ocean and looking out for all the sea creatures. When I heard about the biological reserve of Caño Island, I knew I had to visit.
The tour started around 7:00 A.M. My friends and I went to the agency to meet the rest of the group and collect our life jackets and snorkeling equipment. Around 30 minutes later, everybody was ready, and we all went to Uvita Beach, where our captain waited on our boat for the day.
The way to Caño Island was beautiful; we even saw some dolphins. We stopped shortly to take some photos and enjoy these animals.
After around an hour, we arrived at Caño Island. We put on the snorkeling equipment and jumped into the crystal-clear water. When I looked down, it felt like a dream. The corals on the ground, and many different types of fish are swimming around them. Seeing all these colorful fish living around the beautiful corals was magical. We spent around an hour snorkeling, and we even got to see turtles. Then we returned to the boat, where the crew gave us water, fresh pineapple, and watermelon. We continued the trip to a different spot around the island and jumped back into the water. We were lucky enough to see a shark and a ray swimming alongside the colorful fish this time.
The time flew by, and after around another hour, we had to go back onto the boat. Now it was time for lunch on the island. We ate our lunch on the beach before heading out on a short trail that ended at a beautiful viewpoint. I would suggest everybody do the little hike up there. The view was incredible. The green island with the gorgeous blue sea…you will feel like you are on a different planet.
Back down on the beach, we just relaxed before returning to the boat. With all these new memories and returning to Uvita Beach, everybody was tired. So when we arrived, we just relaxed the rest of the day on the beach and jumped into the sea when we needed refreshment. To end the day, we watched the sunset and reflected on all the new memories we had made on that beautiful day.
Even when we were exhausted after this adventure, it was a day that would not be forgotten.
