Wild Dolphins and Snorkeling at the Marietas Islands
An Exclusive Tropical Beach Hideaway
The Bay of Banderas and the Mexican Pacific
are waiting to be explored, and this exciting eco-tour offers you the
opportunity to discover the wonders of nature while observing dolphins
in the wild, bird watching, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, and kayaking
in the warm clear waters that surround the Marietas Islands.
Pacific bottlenose dolphins, spotted dolphins, and spinner dolphins live
in Banderas Bay year-round, and watching them in the wild is a great
way to learn more about these beautiful and intelligent mammals. We often
enjoy wild dolphin encounters as our fully-equipped catamaran cruises
toward the Marietas Islands.
Situated at the Northern end of Banderas
Bay, the Marietas Islands provide a sanctuary for the diverse marine
and bird life found here. Whales, dolphins, giant manta ray, tropical
fish, and indigenous birds such as blue-footed boobies and red-billed
tropic birds form a unique
and complex ecosystem in the shelter
of these islands.
During the day there will be time to explore the islands' rocky caverns and archways
on a kayak, while snorkeling, or even scuba diving! For your comfort and safety,
our knowledgeable and bilingual eco-guides are always on hand to help, advise,
and entertain you! After you explore to your heart's content, a relaxing afternoon
siesta gives you the opportunity to kick back and relax on the white sands of
a beautiful, secluded beach.
