Playa Escondida Private Tour - Marietas Islands

This private tour takes you to Playa Escondida, the hidden beach of the Marietas Islands, by private boat from Punta Mita. The whole experience is listed at about 180 minutes and is described as exclusive, with personalized attention throughout.

You start at the Punta Mita Pier, where you receive instructions before boarding. The crossing to the Marietas Islands takes between 15 and 20 minutes, depending on sea conditions.

Reaching Playa Escondida is the distinctive part of the day. You swim between 80 and 100 meters through a natural tunnel, always accompanied by a certified guide, and then spend approximately 30 minutes on the beach. Your guide protects your phone and takes pictures for you during the visit.

After the beach, the tour continues with snorkeling, with equipment included, and a visit to Playa Nopalera, where you can walk and explore caves at your own pace. On the way back to Punta Mita you may see marine fauna.

Because of the swim through the tunnel, this tour is more demanding than a simple boat trip: travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness. It is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, for pregnant travelers or for those with poor cardiovascular health. It is not allowed for people over 65 or for children under 10.

The price includes life vests, carbonated beverages, bottled water, snorkeling equipment and a container to carry your phone or camera to the beaches. Food is not included. Public transportation options are available nearby. The source does not give a separate meeting point beyond the pier at Punta Mita, so confirm details when booking.
