You can easily snorkel in the clear water directly off the property via the walk-out area. Beautiful coral heads and sea life are abundant on the reef that lines Oceanside (The water is particularly clear in the “Off-Season” months of May, Sept-November. When the waves are down…the Snorkeling is UP!!! REEF BOOTIES & REEF/LOBSTER GLOVES ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)

We are tucked away on the other side of the hill, but town is pretty close by. Enjoy the rhythms of the Caribbean as they drift across the island!***Also...going to Bastimentos is like stepping into another world...500 years of Afro-Caribbean culture and history resides here that is to be respected and admired. This mixes with the indigenous Naso Tjër Di & Ngäbe-Buglé tribes that have been here for thousands of years longer. The local dialect is Guari-Guari (a mix of Creole English Patois, Spanish, and Ngäbere), and no you won't understand it...but they speak Spanish and English as well. This is a small town with kids and free-range chickens and little lazy island pups roaming about. Terracing walking paths have been carved out of the hillside that the community have used for generations...this may put a spin on the ideology of "private property"...but it also connects the people to the island in a in a very grounded way. Be humble & be kind in this place. ***All 3 Casitas can be rented in tandem to hold larger groups.About pets:No pets allowed.About children:Adults only.About customRules:There is owner storage under the Kind size bed upstairs as well as under the Daybed downstairs.
