What your day looks like

On this tour, our guides give you the opportunity to enjoy the natural majesty of the Las Islas Marietas at your own pace. Explore the serene seawater while snorkeling, kayaking, or paddle boarding. No matter what type of natural wonder you’re looking for, our tour of Islas Marietas, Puerto Vallarta, will help you find it. Also included in our Islas Marietas Eco Discovery Tour is a full lunch, as well as a visit by boat to our exclusive Majahuitas Beach Club, which is located at one of the most secluded and beautiful beaches on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Immerse yourself in its pristine tropical beauty and enjoy an oasis of white sand beaches and turquoise waters by booking Islas Marietas Eco Discovery today! The Bay of Banderas is one of the few places in the world that is a natural sanctuary for a profusion of natural land and sea life. Within the Bay of Banderas, there are few areas lusher in life than the waters surrounding Islas Marietas National Park. During the winter months, it is common to see humpback whales in the bay, since this is a centuries-old breeding ground and respite following their annual migrations. Dolphin encounters are a regular year-round occurrence. You may see them in large groups leaping out of the water or in pairs riding along near the bows of boats in the bay. If you are looking for a breathtaking, cost-effective way to see the Las Islas Marietas in all their natural glory, there is no better choice than our tour of Las Islas Marietas here at Vallarta Adventures. Led by friendly and knowledgeable local tour guides, this comprehensive tour brings you up close and personal with the many natural wonders of the Marieta Islands. Deli-style lunch and open bar are provided, as are snorkeling equipment, paddleboards, and kayaks to help you enjoy the warm waters surrounding the Marieta Islands. To help benefit and preserve this beautiful natural area, we give a portion of the proceeds from our tours to the Islas Marietas National Park in order to fund education and preservation efforts.

Vallarta Adventures is a great tour company that I last travelled with 15 years ago, and they continue to improve and impress. Great boat, great team onboard the boat and we were taken care of from start to finish. From a morning snack and drinks before snorkeling, to drinks and fresh salsa after and on the way to the beach for lunch. Lunch was a BBQ buffet where everything was well prepared and exceeded expectations. Highly recommend as a great day trip as this tour started at 8am-3:30pm
