The Hidden Beach at Marieta Islands

What your day looks like

Playa Del Amor, commonly referred to as the Hidden Beach of Puerto Vallarta, is located in the Marietas Islands 22 miles west off the shore of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The beach features beautiful blue waters, all encased within an island cavern that only opens up to the sky above and the pacific ocean. Searching for a breathtaking, secret beach? Mexico has many to offer. You just have to know where to look. Thankfully, our team is here to help. On our Marieta Islands Hidden Beach tour by the Pacific Ocean, we take you to one of the most beautiful, ecologically-diverse island paradises in all of Mexico. Take a walk on the iconic Lover’s Beach, snorkel and explore the waters, and glimpse humpback whales from our whale watching boats. To help protect this beautiful, natural area, our team proudly donates a portion of each tour’s proceeds toward the protection and the study of the Marietas National Park.

Enjoy an informative boat ride with our expert guide, and you may even witness a show from the nearby schools of dolphins as they leap out of the water throughout your journey. See the Pacific Ocean Humpback Whales: On your return voyage from this one-of-a-kind tour, discover the spectacular world of Pacific Ocean whale watching! Watch for the enchanting humpback whales as they soar out of the water or engage in fin flapping or lobtailing. There’s absolutely nothing that compares to the thrill of seeing these fascinating animals in the wild. The humpback whales’ annual migration from the cold waters of Alaska brings them down to the Bay of Banderas in the winter where they procreate and raise their young in our warm, sheltered waters. Get up-close to see these beautiful creatures from the sea level perspective of our small boat tour in an incredible and unforgettable experience.
