Marietas Islands Snorkeling & Hidden Beach Experience
Overview
Discover the spectacular Marietas Islands National Park, one of Mexico's most protected marine reserves and a paradise for snorkeling and wildlife.
Join our marine biologist and naturalist guides as they share insights about the islands' ecosystem, marine life, seabirds, and conservation efforts. Travel aboard a comfortable, safe, and fast boat in a small group of no more than 10 guests for a more personal experience.
Hidden Beach access is regulated by the Mexican government and depends on permits, weather, ocean conditions, swimming ability, and age restrictions. Only 116 visitors per day are allowed, so access cannot be guaranteed. If conditions allow, your guide will take you there at no additional cost.
