What if I told you there's a tiny island
off the coast of Puerto Rico with no
roads, no hotels, just a lighthouse,
crystal clear water, and a whole lot of
magic. This is Isla Cardona, and today
you'll experience it with us.
Today, we're going to go explore Isla
Cardona, a 6 acre island a mile south of
Pon, Puerto Rico. We've never been here
before, and we're super excited to go
see it. We've read that it has some
hiking, snorkeling off the shore, and
there's a historical lighthouse. So
excited to check it out. Let's go see
it. Just 10 minutes from the city of
Pon, Isla Cardona is a hidden gym only
accessible by boat. No cars, no crowds,
just nature.
Today, we're going on a tour with
Waterland Adventures. We went with them
before to Isa Kahad Muertos, and the
tour was super amazing to that island.
So, we're really excited to check out
this tour. It's pretty affordable and
they also have included lunch options
with Puerto Rican food so that you can
have a great morning and a beautiful
lunch on the island.

This is the most adorable little island.
It's so beautiful. And they have picnic
tables here. It's actually really
comfortable. What an amazing place to
have a romantic picnic. Looks like
there's a reef out there. So, I'm going
to go snorkel it. Let's see. Excited to
see what I can find in there.
The bright turquoise waters of Isla
Cardona are home to a rainbow of
beautiful tropical fish. You can spend
hours snorkeling in the shallow waters,
exploring the shapes and colors of the
reef and its inhabitants.
Now, let's hike up to the lighthouse for
an incredible view of the southern
coast. Even on a hot day, the breeze up
here is worth it.

Oh, so scary.
Holy.
So, we decided to walk up to the
lighthouse and check it out. And it's so
cool. Well, we climbed up to the middle
part and Gabby climbed up all the way to
the top because it's way braver than me.
But it's so beautiful here. And what an
interesting old building. It's from
1889, I think. It's really cool. Great
place to take photos and it's really
romantic way to spend the morning. This
island is so beautiful and it's a super
fun and relaxing way to spend the
morning. Um, where you dock, you can
actually snorkel and swim there on that
side of the island. It's a little rocky
getting in, so be careful. Um, but the
other side is actually really good for
snorkeling cuz there's some coral,
there's lots of fish, there are a little
bit of currents, so maybe not for
beginner snorkelers, but either way,
it's such a beautiful place to just to
take photos and it's really romantic way
to spend the morning.
We forgot to say goodbye.
There's a notion deep and wide
between you and me, but still I'll be
there if you say you will.
This tour is so amazing. Everything
about it is so fun and relaxing. The
island is gorgeous. It's small enough
that you can walk around the whole
thing, which is really a romantic
activity to do. The food is delicious.
You can add on a food option and they
deliver you your lunch at like 12:00.
And look at this.
Wa! This is delicious. The best way to
celebrate after snorkeling for a couple
hours and walking around.
M. The chicken looks so good. I want to
eat some chicken. And you get a ton of
time on the island just to relax and
explore. We highly recommend this tour.
It's wonderful. And the company is
really eco-friendly
and really conscious of their impact on
the environment. Thanks so much for
watching and please remember to

to go out, live, explore, and enjoy this
beautiful world that we've been blessed
with.
Here comes the complications.
And now we're slowly fading.
I know what's on your mind, but now it's
time to move on.
[Music]
Enough with all the answers.
There's nothing here.
One hour left up here. Let's make the
most of this night.
I wonder if you're all right.
Whenever you want me back, I'd love to
fight.
