Amazing island trip - The trip to the island was so relaxing and fun! We were taken care of from the moment we got picked up to the very end of our trip and the food was lovely. The island was stunning and we even saw whales and dolphins!

Marvellous Mariettas - Incredible day exploring the Marietas. Loved the staff and they were so friendly and attentive. We saw so much marine life, humpback whales, sea turtles, and many different beautiful fish while snorkelling. Highly recommend!

Great day on the Bay - It was wonderful experience from start to finish. Booking was super easy, checking in at the port was easy and the staff were amazing. Food was great. There was lots of activities to keep you busy or plenty of places to lie down and have a rest. Drinks were a flowing. A full day of sunshine , whales, sand and fun.

Great service and beautiful trip - We had a great time. Marietta’s were beautiful. We walked on the beaches on the Marietta’s and went paddle boarding. the snorkeling was beautiful. The crew on the boat was amazing. They were very kind asking if we needed anything for food or drink. the food and drinks were great and the snacks too.

Disappointed - We were disappointed by this excursion. The catamaran showed up over 30 minutes late and there was no explanation as to why. We did, however, return on time, so we lost 30 minutes of "fun." The staff was friendly, but its a long way out to Marietas Island and you only get to spend about 20 minutes on the island itself. This is after they transfer you from the catamaran to smaller boat with an outboard motor and they make you jump into the water instead of lowering the ladder so you are absolutely soaked as you're exploring. It felt dangerous going off the side of the boat as there wasn't much of a lip and the small boat was unsteady in the waves. You had to pray you didn't lose anything in the water when jumping in. There is zero information given about the islands themselves--how they were formed, why they were turned into an ecological preserve, the role they play in the ecosystem. Nada. Not even about the birds that were flying overhead or bobbing in the waves. After you get back to the catamaran, they bring out the water toys, which could be fun except its just a time filler since they brought you out so far and you spent so little time on the island, they have to give you something to do. We opted for kayaking but there was only one kayak paddle. My partner had to use a paddle from a stand up board and that didn't go well. Lunch was plentiful but pretty basic and not very flavourful. We did not do the snorkeling though those that went seemed to have a good time. The thing that saved this trip for us was the humpback whale and its calf that were breaching close by giving us a great show. That, of course, had nothing to do with Chica Loca.
