Perfect day for the whole family! - This was a perfect family day trip! We were so glad we were a small group vs the HUGE crowded catamarans we saw. Our guide met us on time - easy instructions and led us through everything. The secret beach and swimming through the caves was incredible! Saw 3 groups of humpbacks as well as dolphins and lots of colourful fish during the snorkeling session. Lunch on the beach to finish things off was delicious and fresh and fun to do a little surf lesson with Edwardo. Would highly recommend this company and excursion!

A Once in a Lifetime Experience! - Eduardo and his crew were amazing, informative, we felt safe, and all our needs were taken care of for the entire excursion! He learned it was our wedding anniversary and had us arrive early so we could have a private trip to the Isla Marietas, Hidden Beach! We were the only 2 (plus our water safety guide) on the beach. Our snorkling portion was magical with tons of diverse fish. We even spotted some whales on our way back, and they spent extra time on the ocean so we could admire them. The civiche was delicious, plus we had our own private canopy on Punta Mita Beach. My only regret is not taking Eduardo up on private surfing lessions, next year Eduardo! He even drove us back to our air bnb south of PV (an 1.5hrs from Punta Mita)! He drove us all through PV sharing the rich history and points of interest. He even stopped by a turtle sanctuary where we got to see baby turtles about to be released into the ocean. One last stop to Taqueria "El Moreno" food truck, for the most delicious tacos and quesadillas. He made our anniversary more special than we could have ever imagined! He tailored our whole experience for us. Thank you Eduardo, we will see you next year!

Amazing experience - Seeing the islands was such a great experience! The islands were beautiful and we got to see a whale breach, which we were fortunate to see. Eduardo, our guide, was very friendly and helpful.

Unforgettable experience!! - We had the most incredible day visiting Marietas Islands with Eduardo and crew! Highly recommend this experience to anyone and everyone as long as you’re comfortable with the swimming component. Without question it was the highlight of an incredible week in Punta Mita and a truly unforgettable experience! Thank you to Eduardo for making this a day we will never forget! Can’t wait to return and do it again with our teenagers, and also try the other tours you offer. This was a first rate operation with five star service! A+++++

This excursion is the one - This was such a cool adventure. The water was so amazing to swim and snorkel in. The hidden beach was magical and we really enjoyed seeing the blow hole too. Eduardo was a great guide. He was accommodating, knowledgeable of the area, and even provided the best lunch we had all trip with the shrimp ceviche. He even gave us surf lessons! Great, great experience all around.

Can't wait to surf again! - The Marrieta islands did not disappoint, Hidden Beach was beautiful! However, my favorite part of this trip was actually surfing with Eduardo. He was a great teacher, all 6 in our couples group got up and rode waves. Can't wait to surfing again, thanks Eduardo!

Amazing!!! - What an awesome day! Eduardo was the best host, he was very informative on all the islands, history and any questions we had. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to check out the marieta islands! We saw the hidden beach, blue foot bobos, a group of manta rays jumping, a humpback whale, dolphins, went to multiple beautiful beaches, snorkeled and surfed! 10/10! Also Jonathan was amazing! He swam with us to shore on the islands, was an excellent photographer and really just an all around gem. Service, experience, communication and the itinerary exceeded 5 stars. Thank you for a great day!!
