Overview

The Islas Marietas lie in the Bay of Banderas along Mexico’s Pacific coast, known for their diverse marine life and natural surroundings. This 7-hour boat tour from Puerto Vallarta includes a BBQ lunch served at Majahuitas beach. During the trip, guests can watch for dolphins, whales, giant manta rays, sea turtles, and tropical fish in their habitats. The tour offers opportunities for bird watching and water activities such as swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding using provided equipment. Most of the time is spent aboard the boat, with stops to swim and board via small metal ladders as there are no docks at the visited sites. Lunch is included, but admission fees, port fees, gratuities, and hotel transfer services are not. This tour is not suitable for cruise ship passengers due to scheduling conflicts and may be challenging for those prone to seasickness.
