Guaranteed hidden beach-marietas islands.

This is a small-group boat tour from Punta Mita to the Marietas Islands with guaranteed entrance to Hidden Beach, also called Love Beach. It lasts about 180 minutes and combines a swim through a natural tunnel, snorkeling and time at a second beach.

The experience begins at Punta Mita Pier, where the team welcomes you, gives directions and prepares you to board the boat with a small group. The group size is capped at 8 people. The crossing to the Marietas Islands takes between 15 and 20 minutes, depending on sea conditions.

To reach Playa Escondida (Hidden Beach) you swim 80 to 100 meters through a natural tunnel, always accompanied by a certified guide. You stay on the beach for approximately 30 minutes, and the guide looks after your phone and takes pictures during the activity.

After that you snorkel with the included equipment to see marine life, and visit Playa Nopalera, described as ideal for swimming and exploring. The tour finishes with the return to Punta Mita pier.

Some rules apply to protect the environment: no footwear during the activities, and no backpacks, bags, food or drinks on the beaches. Throwing trash, drinking alcohol during your time in Marietas (it is allowed only during the transfer) and flying drones are forbidden. The allowed age range is 10 to 64 years. The tour depends on the weather, and the operator says a change of date or a full refund is offered in case of cancellation.

What to bring: swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a camera or cell phone, and drinks in reusable containers. The tour includes a container for carrying phones or cameras to the beaches, non-alcoholic beverages, a life jacket and snorkeling equipment. Private transportation and lunch are not included. It requires a moderate level of physical fitness and is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health; pregnant women are not allowed.
