A landscape excursion while floating is suspended

The latest notice in the saved listing says swimming and floating were suspended from 29 September 2026. It describes a sightseeing outing with a Magic Bus stop during the restriction. Older floating descriptions and swim icons elsewhere in the listing should not be treated as permission to enter the lagoons.

The operator mentioned an expected December reopening without a confirmed date. Book this only if the landscape visit itself interests you, or obtain a current written confirmation of permitted water access before paying for a floating experience. Our comparison page also covers Laguna Cejar as a separate option to investigate.

What the advertised price covers

Included in the checked listing

  • Bilingual guide
  • Hotel pickup
  • AM breakfast or PM cocktail

Budget separately

  • Park entry

Compare the final checkout total for your selected date, option and group. The “from” price above is a rounded USD snapshot, not a fixed quote. Currency, availability and option selection can change the amount.

Meeting point and return

Pickup in San Pedro; current itinerary finishes at Caracoles 600. Confirm your AM or PM option.

Use the operator’s final confirmation for the exact time and address. If your accommodation is outside the centre, send its full address before assuming the advertised collection area covers it.

Fit this into your trip

The small group is capped at 15. Food depends on the departure: breakfast is listed for the morning option and a cocktail for the afternoon. Admission remains separate; ask for the current fee because temporary reduced access can make an older normal ticket price misleading.

Eligibility and details to confirm

Listing excludes under-6s and pregnant travellers.

Before booking, check the entry-ticket arrangement, pickup and return point, language, meals and any age or altitude restrictions against your party’s needs. Read the cancellation deadline shown on the option you actually select. A weather-related route change is a separate question from voluntarily cancelling a reservation.

Joris enjoyed the scenery, refreshments and swimming on a July visit. Swimming is currently suspended; this is historical feedback.
