Embark on an unforgettable journey with the Faro & Reef Point Tour, located 9 nautical miles off the coast of Providencia Island. This half-day marine adventure combines panoramic sightseeing, cultural experiences, and nature encounters, making it one of the top eco-tourism activities in the archipelago.
The tour begins with a scenic boat ride passing Santa Catalina Island and the iconic Morgan’s Head, a rock formation named after the legendary pirate. As you sail across the crystal-clear waters of the reef barrier, a local guide demonstrates traditional handline fishing, offering you a glimpse into the island's ancestral fishing practices.
The first snorkeling stop is at Josti Spot, a vibrant site full of colorful fish and corals. The journey continues to El Faro, where you'll enjoy a second snorkeling experience with the chance to spot reef sharks, rays, and manta rays in their natural habitat — perfect for underwater photography.
On the return trip, the fishing continues, and you’ll pass by the Lovers’ Bridge before arriving at South West Beach, where a bonfire cooking experience awaits. Here, you'll savor the fresh catch of the day, seasoned with traditional island spices and served with a side of avocado salad and fried green plantains.
Whether you're a nature lover, adventure seeker, or cultural traveler, this tour offers a unique blend of marine biodiversity, local traditions, and culinary delight.
