We saw all kinds of different fish and even a sea turtle. Alfonso and Diego were our guides, they both had so much knowledge and were super helpful and friendly. Chito was our captain who was also great! Would highly recommend!!”

5.Guaranteed Hidden Beach • Small Group Tour • Punta Mita

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 109 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $173

Review of Punta Mita’s small-group Marietas Islands tour, with Hidden Beach, snorkeling, wildlife, practical tips, costs, and safety details.

“Memorable adventure to the Marietas hidden beach under the excellent guidance and navigation by Reuben & Chuy. While accessing the beach requires a strong swim through a cave with active currents, we enjoyed the thrill and felt very safe under Reuben’s watch. Beautiful boat ride and we got very lucky to see whales up close. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a true adventure in Puerto Vallarta.”
