Marietas Island Full Expedition

Explore beyond the surface.

MX$4300.00

Explore the islands, discover what lies beneath the surface, and experience one of Riviera Nayarit’s most extraordinary marine ecosystems.

Journey across the waters of Bahía de Banderas to Islas Marietas National Park, a spectacular volcanic archipelago where dramatic cliffs, hidden caves and crystal-clear waters create a unique natural landscape. Explore the islands, snorkel through vibrant underwater environments and encounter the tropical fish and marine wildlife that inhabit this protected ecosystem.

The expedition also offers the opportunity to visit the iconic Playa Escondida (Hidden Beach), swimming through its natural rock opening when access is permitted and ocean conditions allow.

Throughout the journey, your Fragata guide will share insights into the islands’ natural history, marine biodiversity and conservation, bringing this remarkable destination to life.

Nature sets the pace; we follow it.
