On nearby Bucas Grande Island, Sohoton Cove National Park combines limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons, and a famous jellyfish sanctuary where non-stinging species pulse gently in turquoise water.

It is among the region's most structured eco-experiences, with fees funding conservation. Book reputable operators, start early for calmer crossings, bring dry bags, and follow guide instructions inside caves where headroom shrinks dramatically.
