The predominant wind direction on the smaller Isla Coche creates offshore riding conditions but rescue boats are available if needed. The shallow, super flat waters will you with confidence.
You will fly into Caracas and then get a smaller plane to connect to one of the three islands smaller island’s of Coche and Los Roques are quiet and have a laid back Caribbean vibe, perfect for couples. Los Roques is normally visited from the other islands but it is worth the trip to kite in the National Park or catch waves on the barrier reef.
