Cayo Blanco catamaran cruise with dolphin encounter

4.5/5
61 reviews

There are few better ways to explore the waters off Varadero than this luxury catamaran cruise. This full day jaunt includes free time and lunch on a tropical beach on Cayo Blanco. And to top it off, you'll jump in for a 15-minute encounter with dolphins, too.

After setting sail from Varadero Marina, relax aboard en route to your first stop, Rancho Cangrejo – a platform in the middle of the sea. Then, head to tiny Cayo Blanco. This place has a real desert island feel – all powder-like sands, swaying palms and turquoise waters. Drop anchor and hit the beach for a tasty lunch served fresh.

Once refuelled, roll out a towel on the beach or take a dip in the warm ocean. Snorkelling off the beach is also recommended – the waters here are teeming with tropical fish. You'll round off the day with a short dolphin encounter. You'll head to an offshore pontoon where dolphins from a nearby dolphinarium are kept for a chance to learn and interact with these clever aquatic mammals.

    I've relooked at the descriptions to see if I misunderstood, but the platform stop is mentioned first and the dolphins last, I never realised this would be captive dolphins at the platform? I thought we would just be sailing near by and hopefully see them in the wild, Plus we were quickly herded onto slippery steps and an even slipperier platform. The boat staff were friendly and helpful but no safety demo ,if it sank I don't know where the life jackets were . Boat staff friendly, rest so so

    The experience was really well organised, the staff got everyone up dancing, the dolphins were amazing! Cayo beach was beautiful and had a real tropical feel to it. Lobster was fantastic. Downside we saw them throw a black bin bag full of plastic bottles and cups overboard!!!
