Laguna Gri-Gri
Laguna Gri-Grí
A mangrove lagoon beside the town of Río San Juan, where small boats glide through mangrove tunnels to sea caves and small beaches.
Laguna Gri-Grí is a nature reserve north of the town of Río San Juan, connected to the sea by a mangrove waterway. From the town pier, a 1- to 2-hour boat trip winds through mangrove tunnels, past Cueva de las Golondrinas (Swallows' Cave) and sea-carved rock formations. It then stops at a nearby small beach for swimming and snorkeling. Boats are priced per vessel, so groups can share. It is about 40 km from Cabarete and can be combined with Playa Grande on the same day.
Opening hours
