After a welcome with music and a refreshing drink, the tour of the village begins. You will look over the shoulders of the locals and see how various products such as hats and musical instruments are made by hand. The production of each product is explained step by step. You will then visit an original sugar cane mill, which was built by the inhabitants of the village, is still in use and is powered by a horse. You will learn how the sugar cane is pressed and then processed in a self-built clay oven. A tasting of the freshly pressed sugar cane juice is of course a must.

      A boat trip awaits you today. First, the boat takes you through smaller sea lanes that meander through the overgrown mangrove forests. Keep an eye out for water birds! Then it’s off to Coral Cay, where the sea is calm all year round and therefore suitable for snorkelers of all ages. Local restaurants built on stilts over the water offer a variety of seafood (not included).

      Later, the boat trip continues to Isla Bastimentos. The island is covered in mangroves all around and is surrounded by nature and fresh air. Isla Bastimentos still consists largely of jungle and there are no roads or airstrips. For this reason, the island can only be reached by boat.

      Isla Bastimentos is not just for adventurers or nature lovers, as it is home to one of the most famous beaches in Bocas del Toro, the "Red Frog Beach", which takes its name from the red poison dart frogs.
