Great snorkel trip. Saw dolphins and birds eating needle fish and Olive Ridley turtles eating jellyfish, and that was just the boat ride out! Clear water, lots of white tip reef sharks, a moray eel, more turtles, and devil rays, and all the tropical fish you could want.

My first visit to Cabuya Island was in 2005. It was unforgettable. A friend offered to take me by kayak. There was a ceremony happening that day and you could see locals walking out to the island during low tide. It's not often you get to witness a funeral on a tropical island surrounded by the sea. I've been back a few times and depending on the weather the air can feel very heavy adding to the authenticity of the experience of a cemetery island. I highly recommend. The fishing boats perched on land at low tide also make for great photo ops. If sunny bring a hat and plenty of drinking water.
