A weekend in La Parguera
Time to get out on the water, eat well and explore at an easy pace.
The plan
Arrive and get your bearings
Settle in, walk the waterfront and have dinner without a plan. It's a good time to talk to operators and book Saturday's trip.
The cays
Head out early. Combine two cays on the same trip: one for swimming and one for snorkeling.
Lunch and a break
Back to town for lunch and a few hours in the shade.
Bioluminescent bay
The highlight of the weekend. Book it on Friday.
Kayaking among the mangroves
Calmer than the boat and very different: the mangrove channels are nearly silent.
One last meal and head out
Eat on the waterfront before hitting the road.
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.
Two days
Stay at Marietta Keys
Start your day steps from the action, in the heart of La Parguera.
