The previous day we had decided that we would go on a boat tour with a bunch of the people we had just met. The boat tour was going to be $15 going to Dolphin Bay, Cayo Crawl, Red Frog Beach (National Park)(wizard beach) and hospital point.
The trip started off with dreary weather and a nice little ride on the water seeing all the different and evolving islands. Our first stop was Dolphin Bay, where we circled for a good half hour seeing, oh maybe three dolphins. Which, dolphins are great and I love them, but I would just like to say that being quite hungover the next morning along with everyone else in the boat, that literally was going in a small circle for a half hour made me want to throw our Captain out and take over, the Captains name being Willie. Not to mention some of the other people were doing everything they could to take a photo of this one dolphin… I wanted to kill. Tori and I just kept looking at each other (while I for some reason the only one in the boat getting wet) and I finally said, "This could quite possibly be the worst idea ever!"
We than stopped next at Cayo Crawl where we snorkeled. It was awesome coral, I had never seen colors like that before blues, purples, yellows, oranges, you name it! The scenery was beautiful and exotic and soo very green, green everywhere. I have also never seen water so blue and green and clear in my life. You could always see to the bottom. My snorkel gear didn’t work the best, so every time I put the mouth gear in my mouth and put my face in water I started chocking and came up gasping for air. I was already having a hard time swimming and this gasping for air thing wasn’t working for me so I hung onto the outside of the boat, where we got our first glimpse of sunshine.
Our next stop was Red Frog Beach, that is a national park. We were not allowed to bring in our cooler so we decided to skip Red Frog Beach and head onto Wizard Beach where the entrance was free and just as beautiful. I sadly did not get any pictures off this beach, it was however one of the most people and secluded beaches I have seen. It was a perfect place to stop for a few hours, walk around and swim, a very reflective spot.
The clouds starting coming in and we barely got into the boat in time before the rains came down. We decided to skip the last snorkel spot and head back. We had enough of the boats for that day. In the end was a great journey, was able to see a lot of the different islands and views in the area while experiencing some of the tourism life in Bocas.
