There are many plants and fruits to observe and smell there, such as pitayas, mangos, wine grapes, oranges, lemons, grapefruits, olives, and bananas.

Not sure if we had the option to order that or not. Soft drinks provided. Boat ride to the island was awesome. Lots of animal life and rock formations to enjoy. Hiked around the island with a local guide. Tipped her. We accepted snorkel gear and planned to snorkel but water was cool and full of stinging jellyfish. So no, just waded. Shaded tables and outhouse. Relaxing afternoon.”
