Get ready to discover a secret paradise! The adventure begins at the Puerto Mágico pier, where you will check in and be greeted by the tour guides. You will receive safety instructions, recommendations for the route, and all the necessary equipment to enjoy the experience safely.
Then, you will board a boat to the Marietas Islands, enjoying the seascape and the ocean breeze while the guides tell you about the fauna, flora, and history of this protected ecosystem. During the navigation, you will be able to observe birds, dolphins, and other marine species that inhabit the area, making the journey a natural spectacle.
Upon arrival, you will engage in snorkeling activities in the islands’ reefs, kayaking, paddleboarding, a floating lily pad, and more—exploring marine life with the guidance of specialized guides. The adventure includes entry to the famous Hidden Beach, a unique spot surrounded by rock formations and crystal-clear waters, accessible only by boat or by swimming from the vessel, creating an exclusive and memorable experience. The stay is approximately 15 minutes to take incredible photographs.
During the visit, guides will be available to help you take photos, show you the best spots, and ensure your safety. After enjoying the beach, snorkeling, and the natural surroundings, you will return to the boat for the trip back to the Puerto Vallarta pier, concluding a day full of adventure, nature, and dreamlike landscapes.
Due to its importance to the ecosystem, visits to the Marietas Islands are regulated by CONANP (National Commission of Protected Natural Areas), and there are certain limitations we must respect to ensure the lowest possible impact.
