Skip the crowded group tours if you can afford the private boat rental; you'll dodge the noise and actually see the loggerhead turtles at Iztuzu Beach. Spend three hours gliding through the reeds, then hit the mud baths near the riverbank to dry off in the sun. It smells like sulfur, but it’s a standard move here. Go early to beat the heat and the midday tourist swarm. Bring cash for local snacks near the dock.
