Diving
National and internationally certified courses, day and night diving, a breath-taking shark show, swimming around the sunken ships as well as a spectacular sea life are part of the diving options at Santa Lucía Beach.
Playa Bonita
You can choose sailing in a catamaran straight to Playa Bonita as part of the excursion that runs along the coast of Santa Lucia Beach to a virtually virgin island: Cayo Sabinal. Do not miss the amazing water-color change during the tour: from a delicate emerald-green near the beach, where the water depth does not exceed three meters, to an intense dark blue in the profound bay channel. If you decide to snorkel in Cayo Sabinal waters, you will have the opportunity of admiring one of the most beautiful areas of the zone. The natural splendor on that side of the island will make you feel the discoverer of a new and unexplored world. To recover energy nothing better than a hearty lunch at the restaurant made of fresh seafood, vegetables, tropical fruits and an excellent Cuban coffee.
Iguana Tour
If you like to admire the Cuban wildlife in its natural environment, Iguana Tour is the best option. Decide to become a modern privateer on board of a comfortable boat that sails from Santa Lucia Beach to the proximity of Fuerte San Hilario, a fortress unable of preventing pirates’ attacks during the colonial period. A snorkeling session, the visit to a pink flamingo reservoir and the chance of taking pictures of dolphins inside Nuevitas Bay at certain times of the year, when they can be seen from the boat, are some of the highlights of this amusing excursion. Lunch takes place in a beautiful environment: an island amidst the bay where there are plenty of Cuban rodents, birds and trees but mostly iguanas, which are not afraid of gently posing for the cameras.
Coral Tour
Being in Santa Lucia Beach and not visiting the coral reef is like missing much of the charm of the place; so, do not waste the chance of taking Coral Tour, an excursion that will allow you to go snorkeling in the coral reef, where there is abundant tropical flora and fauna in crystal-clear shallow waters, with great visibility and safety. The crew also offers a special session to take photos and get information about a very peculiar marine species in its natural habitat: the starfish.
Sunsets in Camagüey
The Sunset is one of the most beautiful moments of the day in Camagüey, Cuba. Decide on enjoying this occasion and join your friends and relatives in a delicious sea food meal aboard a boat in Los Cocos Beach. Do not miss this tour; book it on sales bureaus at your disposal since your arrival.
Fishing
The Marina Marlin nautical base also promises real fun whether you are a seasoned or enthusiastic amateur fisherman: four simultaneous lines will allow you to catch barracudas, sawfish, Wahoo, snappers and other species while exchanging information with experienced local seamen.
