Traditional Islas Marietas Tour

Located to the north of Puerto Vallarta, the Islas Marietas National Park is an ecological refuge that has become an unmissable tourist attraction due to its spectacular landscapes, reefs and clear waters. The two islands that make up this archipelago are home to a great diversity of birds and marine species that you can see with the naked eye.

Our adventure for the Islas Marietas Tour begins from the journey (which lasts approximately two hours and 15 minutes), where in addition to being able to observe the different towns that make up the Bay of Banderas from the sea, we will offer information about the islands, the flora, fauna, places to visit and operating regulations. Upon arrival, we will form three groups:

  • Visit to La Nopalera beach.
  • Go snorkelling.
  • Ecotour.

Due to its importance for the ecosystem, visits to the Islas Marietas are regulated by CONANP (National Commission of Protected Natural Areas) and there are certain limitations that we must respect to ensure the least possible impact.

Los Arcos / Las Ánimas / Quimixto Tour

If you are looking to combine adventures, landscapes and three paradisiacal places, then this tour is for you. To the south of Puerto Vallarta are Las Ánimas and Quimixto, a couple of typical fishing villages that still retain their charm and can only be reached by boat. A little before arriving, there are the iconic Arcos de Mismaloya, a protected area where it is possible to practice snorkeling to observe a large number of marine species.

Our boat leaves in the morning to visit these enigmatic places in the south of the bay. During the journey, you will have the privilege of observing all of Puerto Vallarta from the sea and our guides will explain a little about its history, climate, traditions and the best places to visit. Beach Boy Cruises has you covered!

Upon arrival at Los Arcos de Mismaloya, our passengers will be able to dive into the sea to practice snorkeling and be able to appreciate a large number of colorful fish. We will be there for about 45 minutes. After this activity, two groups are formed: those who stay in Las Ánimas and those who go to Quimixto.

While people who go to Quimixto will have the opportunity to tour the town and visit a waterfall that can be reached on foot or on horseback (some local providers provide this service), those who stay in Las Ánimas will be able to enjoy up to three hours of sand, sea and excellent restaurant service*.

Upon returning from Quimixto, the people who stayed in Las Ánimas get on the boat to start enjoying the national open bar and we wait for those who went to the waterfall to eat and together in Las Animas return to Puerto Vallarta (during the trip , games, raffles, dances and a great party atmosphere are organized).

**Drinks and dishes at the beach restaurant are not included in the tour price.
