La Parguera A local guide by Marietta Keys
La Parguera, Lajas, Puerto Rico

La Parguera for adventurers

Diving, long-distance kayaking and quieter cays.

The plan

Day 1 AM

Diving

The town's dive centers head out to the outer reef sites.

Day 1 PM

Outer reef snorkeling

More exposed than the inner cays, with better reef.

Day 2 AM

Long-distance kayaking

The mangrove channels allow long routes in sheltered water.

Day 2 PM

Quieter cays

Laurel and the inner islets get far fewer visitors.

Night

The bay by kayak

The least touristy version of the night tour.

A tip

Book tours ahead on weekends and in high season, and confirm the same day in case the weather changes.

Where to sleep to make this work

This itinerary assumes you're staying in town. Stay at Marietta Keys and start your day steps from the action: trips leave early and bay tours come back at night.
