Gri Gri Lagoon Day Itinerary
Morning on the lagoon
Start with the classic boat ride from the Rio San Juan dock. You glide through narrow mangrove channels, visit the swallow caves and head out along the coast to a series of small beaches. The water is calmest in the morning, the birdlife is most active and the light is best for photos. The ride takes roughly one to two hours.
Afternoon at Playa Caleton
Most boat tours stop at Playa Caleton, a small, sheltered cove with calm, shallow water ideal for swimming. Have fresh fish from a beach shack, relax on the sand, then head back into Rio San Juan for lunch or a drink. With extra time, the golden sweep of Playa Grande and the cliff jumps at Laguna Dudu are a short drive away.
