Here's a store-ready description:

Isla Zapatilla & Dolphin Bay — Bocas del Toro Group Boat Tour 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM · 

Spend a day discovering the very best of Bocas del Toro on this 6-hour island-hopping adventure through the Caribbean. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you'll cruise turquoise waters, snorkel living coral reefs, walk white-sand beaches and glide through mangrove channels, all in one unforgettable day.

The tour departs at 10:00 AM from Bocas Town on Isla Colón. Your first stop is Dolphin Bay, a sheltered lagoon where resident bottlenose dolphins feed and play year-round; your captain will cut the engine so you can watch them surface right beside the boat. From there you'll continue to Coral Cay, one of the archipelago's most vibrant reefs, for a guided snorkel among colorful fish, sea fans and coral gardens in calm, shallow water suitable for beginners.

Around midday you'll arrive at Isla Zapatilla, part of the Bastimentos Island National Marine Park and consistently voted one of the world's most beautiful beaches. Enjoy roughly two hours of free time to swim, snorkel, stroll the powder-white sand or simply relax under the palms. On the way back you'll drift through the mangroves of Bastimentos, where your guide will help you spot sloths dozing in the trees and starfish resting on the sandy sea floor, while sharing stories about the wildlife, culture and ecosystems of the region. The boat returns to Bocas Town at approximately 4:00 PM.
