Boat Adventure is yet another option, and includes a nautical tour aboard a yacht driven by the tourist himself through the labyrinth of natural channels that crisscross the mangrove swamps south of Cayo Guillermo.

Jose Luis Hernandez, director of the Jardines del Rey Marlin branch told Prensa Latina that other offers include rides on glass-bottom boats, catamarans, sailboats and snorkeling in the sea near the cays.

In Cayo Paredon Grande, where visitors may engage in fly fishing for abundant species such as the macabi, shad, pompano and others, and the best months for these nautical activities in Cuba are between January and April, Hernandez said.
