The islands are about 30-45 minute motorboat ride from the Mercedes town proper. These islands all boast of prinstine white beaches, corrals, underwater scenery, rock formations and fish sanctuary. The place is ideal for island hopping, swimming, bird watching, boating, snorkeling, trekking, scuba diving, golf in Apuao Grande Resort, jet skiing, spear fishing and many other activities.

The Mercedes Group of Islands is composed of seven islands — Apuao Grande, Quinapaguian, Malasugui, Apuao Pequeña, Canton, Caringo, and Canimog — are scenic and excellent tropical destinations for your beach adventures. Please be aware that visiting all seven islands will definitely take more than a day.
