Enjoy the journey of a lifetime, an all-in-one eco-adventure package that includes sailing, snorkeling, kayaking, and a trip to a protected national park of volcanic islands. See the 7th largest bay in the world and the place where Jacques Cousteau assisted in the movement to protect the aquatic marine life and region just inside Banderas Bay. The entire tour is guided by some of the most informative, specialized personnel in the area.

Snorkeling conditions are some of the best in the world, depending on the time of year. With light rains, the waters around the Marietas Islands are as clear as can be and the marine life is abundant.
Our guides will take you snorkeling and introduce you to all the creatures that call Marietas home.

Once out on the islands, our bilingual eco-guides will get you set up for some amazing kayaking and snorkeling, and even lead you on a guided trip. They create a fun and safe environment so you can focus on exploring the rocky caverns and archways and truly experience the natural beauty of the Marietas Islands.

Designated as a National Park in 2005 and an important refuge and nesting area for over 90 species of aquatic and sub-aquatic migratory and native birds, the islands offer plenty to see above the sea. Our guides will take small groups for an up-close eco-tour, educating guests on the wildlife and the formation of the islands and showing the area's unique features.

During the winter season, you can swim, snorkel and kayak in the warm clear waters of the Marietas Islands, but this adventure is really all about the adrenaline rush of witnessing humpback whales and wild dolphins in their natural habitat. Whale season in Banderas Bay runs from mid-December to the end of March, but we're fortunate to see wild dolphins throughout the entire year. The best opportunity to see these playful and intelligent mammals is from our fully equipped luxury catamarans as we head towards the Marietas Islands.

Onboard our modern catamaran powerboats, you will enjoy clean restrooms, an open bar, full buffet lunch, and friendly guides and crew. Not only will the staff attend to all your needs, making sure you always have a fresh, cold beverage in hand, but they will put on a spirited and entertaining performance on the way back to Puerto Vallarta - it is sure to put a smile on your face.
