Know before you go

This trip always starts in the morning. On some days, the water becomes low tide, and when this happens, the boat anchors approximately 100 meters away to stay close to the ocean where there is enough water. I recommend taking water shoes for your safety because of the long walk and to help avoid harm along the way, as there is a continental shelf where molluscs and sea urchins are found.
