Wildlife Guidelines
Please be respectful of the fact that coral is a living organism and any standing, touching, or knocking over will irreparably damage the organism that takes a very long time to grow and is essential to our marine reefs. Please also be respectful of any marine animals, including but not limited to turtles, rays, sharks, seals, and dolphins. Please never chase, harass, feed, or TOUCH any of the marine species. Enjoy their company if they approach from a distance and calmly move away from them if in their path.

FAQs
What kind of kayaks do you use?
We use double / tandem kayaks. Please note that odd-numbered parties will be merged during the tour. Each kayak can hold two adults, and one child aged 6-10 years old can sit in the middle of the kayak.
The specific kayak is the Mirage Oasis. The Oasis is stretched-out and spacious, the more performance-oriented of Hobie’s pair of tandems powered by the elegant, easy-to-use MirageDrive. So speedy yet boasting a robust carrying capacity suitable for a weekend camping trip or fishing with enough gear to stock a tackle shop—there are four convenient hatches and a generous on-deck storage area, as well as molded-in rod holders. The Oasis gets the job done in style and comfort. Now equipped with dual MirageDrive 180s with new Kick-Up Fin Technology.

Are there discounts available?
Local residents, veterans, and active military will receive a discount at time of checkout, remember to bring and show your ID at check-in.
What kind of animals are there in La Parguera?
La Parguera has a great diversity of animals. A wide variety of bird species predominate. Around 66 species of birds have been found. This responds to the fact that in this sector there are forests that allow the reproduction and nesting of resident and migratory species. Among which we can find the ladybug, brown pelican, herons, seagulls, migratory sandpipers and others. The ladybug is native to Puerto Rico, which nests in the mangrove swamp. Many birds use the coastal coastline in search of food.
Other organisms that belong to the Parguera fauna are:
- Fish - Grouper, Snapper, Red Snapper, Jarea, Sierra, Chapín
- Mollusks - Conch, Octopus
- Crustaceans - Lobsters, Crabs
- Reptiles - Hawksbill Turtles, Iguanas
- Mammals - Manatees, Dolphins
What sunscreen can I use and why does it matter?
Common sunscreens contain chemicals that can harm coral reefs, as the particles are small enough to be absorbed by corals, causing toxicity and coral bleaching. Reef-friendly sunscreens are formulated without these harmful chemicals. Reef-SAFE sunscreens go a step further by using non-nano particles, which are too large for corals to ingest, helping to preserve marine ecosystems.
Please avoid sunscreens with oxybenzone, octinoxate, and parabens. Consider wearing sun-protective clothing, like long-sleeve rash guards, as an alternative to sunscreen. If you choose a mineral-based sunscreen, ensure it is labeled ‘non-nano.’
