About the experience

Escape the ordinary and set sail toward one of the most breathtaking natural wonders in the Pacific. The Marietas Islands tour invites you to experience a full day of adventure, relaxation, and luxury as you cruise across the sparkling waters of Banderas Bay. From the moment you step aboard, the energy of the ocean, attentive service, and all-inclusive comfort create the perfect setting for an unforgettable day in paradise.

Your journey begins the moment you board a spacious mega trimaran designed for comfort, fun, and panoramic ocean views. As the boat cruises along the beautiful north shore coastline, guests can relax with a continental breakfast featuring fresh fruit, pastries, coffee, and refreshing beverages. Throughout the trip, the premium open bar remains available, offering drinks such as margaritas, beer, wine, tequila, and champagne while the crew serves fresh guacamole and snacks. During the scenic cruise, guests often spot dolphins, sea turtles, tropical fish, and—during winter months—magnificent humpback whales passing through the bay. Once the boat arrives at the protected marine reserve of the Marietas Islands, guests can dive into the adventure by swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, or paddleboarding toward Playa La Nopalera. Here, crystal-clear waters, volcanic rock formations, and vibrant marine life create a spectacular natural playground. After enjoying the ocean activities, everyone returns onboard for a freshly prepared Mexican fajitas lunch before relaxing, dancing, or simply soaking in the sea breeze during the scenic return cruise.

What truly sets this experience apart is the combination of luxury service, all-inclusive amenities, and access to one of Mexico’s most remarkable marine parks. The tour is designed so guests can fully enjoy the day without worrying about extra costs, with drinks, meals, water activities, and attentive service all included. The boats themselves are modern and comfortable, featuring shaded seating, bathrooms, and plenty of space to relax between adventures. Guests can enjoy unlimited access to activities like snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, tubing, and floating on water mattresses while exploring the vibrant marine environment. During whale season, the journey becomes even more magical as humpback whales can often be seen breaching or swimming alongside the boat. A professional photographer onboard captures memorable moments throughout the day, ensuring guests can relive every splash and smile long after the tour ends. With its combination of breathtaking scenery, ocean adventure, gourmet food, and the signature hospitality of the Chica Locca crew, this Marietas Islands tour consistently stands out as one of the most complete and enjoyable all-inclusive excursions in the region.

Itinerary

Starting location:
Marina Puerto Vallarta, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Bay of Banderas
Enjoy the cruise along the North Shore direct to your destination. From December to April, these waters are inhabited by humpback whales. But all year you can witness sea turtles, rays and our beautiful tropical coastline. As we cruise to the islands, a snack of fresh guacamole and chips is served. As the islands grow closer, the excitement builds as the sights and sounds of this marine nation park unfolds in front of you.
Marietas Islands
At the end of the morning, we reach the boundaries of the National Park and anchor in the afternoon. It's time to explore, swim, and enjoy this unique ocean and beach reserve. With a guide, we'll swim, kayak, paddle, or snorkel to Playa la Nopalera. This pristine beach offers the opportunity to snorkel, explore, and enjoy a connection with a special marine environment, full of seabirds, tropical fish, a variety of corals, and crystal-clear waters. ***Limited permit for Playa Escondida, advance reservation required*** Because it is a biosphere reserve protected by the National Park, there are strict rules regarding the number of people who can enter "Playa Escondida." A special permit must be reserved and paid for in pesos at check-in. Please let us know after booking so we can obtain it. We recommend booking in advance to take advantage of the best days.
Marietas Islands
Return to the boat for a well-earned tasty lunch of Mexican Fajitas, rice beans and tortillas. The premium open bar remains open all day drinks. After lunch there is time for more ocean play and wildlife watching and relaxing and enjoy the floating fun factory with open bar and your favorite music.
Bay of Banderas
On the return trip, it's time to have a few drinks, dance, and enjoy the panoramic views and sea breeze at your leisure. Our cruise director will be the master of ceremonies for your day. You can dance, play games, or relax as we sail back to port. Our crew is always in communication with other boats and on the lookout for whales and marine wildlife. At any moment, the boat will stop while nature puts on a show! Our experienced team of photographers will show action shots to those who haven't booked photos in advance, so you can view and purchase them.

    An excellent trip, the crew was very friendly and professional with first-class service. Our only problem was the failure of an engine, which affected our return logistics. However, we had a great time.
