The distinctiveness of our encounter stems from the lagoon’s ecosystem. Encounters with manatees, who feast on seagrass and coexist with the multitude of marine species residing there, are widespread. Being a part of the San Juan Bay estuary, the lagoon represents a crucial nature reserve that is safeguarded for research and conservation. The lagoon houses a mix of natural and man-made reefs that enhance the overall experience. The lagoon’s vegetation, mangroves, landscapes, and observing the native species in their natural habitat, augment the recreational activities provided in the lagoon.
