Laguna La Restinga
National Park
Margarita Island, Venezuela
One of the most popular
attractions on
Margarita Island / Isla Margarita is Laguna La Restinga.
Located just before the bridge
that goes to Peninsula Macanao
this is a large lagoon filled with mangroves,
oysters, sea horses, fish and many birds.
You can hire a boat for either a basic
30 minute tour or a 60 minute tour
that includes many areas just recently
opened.
The longer tour is well worth the extra time.
Their is a long beach with restaurants that you can visit.
One suggestion is after the tour go out
to Punta Arenas and have lunch
at one of the small restaurants out there.
Here are the latest prices
(Feb. 2016):
The price of the full tour (60 minutes) with a stop at the beach was
Bs.2000
for a boat that holds up to 5 people.
The half hour tour with no beach is Bs.1.500
& the half hour tour with a stop at the beach is Bs.1.700.
Our boat driver was extremely informative and
helpful.
He showed us live seahorses and explained that it is
the male seahorse
that has the babies (true).
On one of the pictures below you see a pregnant
seahorse.
We hope you enjoyed our tour of
Macanao.
