Unforgettable experience!! - We had the most incredible day visiting Marietas Islands with Eduardo and crew! Highly recommend this experience to anyone and everyone as long as you’re comfortable with the swimming component. Without question it was the highlight of an incredible week in Punta Mita and a truly unforgettable experience! Thank you to Eduardo for making this a day we will never forget! Can’t wait to return and do it again with our teenagers, and also try the other tours you offer. This was a first rate operation with five star service! A+++++

This excursion is the one - This was such a cool adventure. The water was so amazing to swim and snorkel in. The hidden beach was magical and we really enjoyed seeing the blow hole too. Eduardo was a great guide. He was accommodating, knowledgeable of the area, and even provided the best lunch we had all trip with the shrimp ceviche. He even gave us surf lessons! Great, great experience all around.

Can't wait to surf again! - The Marrieta islands did not disappoint, Hidden Beach was beautiful! However, my favorite part of this trip was actually surfing with Eduardo. He was a great teacher, all 6 in our couples group got up and rode waves. Can't wait to surfing again, thanks Eduardo!

Island tour with Surf lessons - Eduardo was an awesome guide! So kind, friendly, and patient. His surf lessons before the island tour was definitely a highlight of our trip! He was a fantastic teacher and we learned how to surf. The islands were incredible and Eduardo was very knowledgeable. Thank you Eduardo!

Amazing!!! - What an awesome day! Eduardo was the best host, he was very informative on all the islands, history and any questions we had. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to check out the marieta islands! We saw the hidden beach, blue foot bobos, a group of manta rays jumping, a humpback whale, dolphins, went to multiple beautiful beaches, snorkeled and surfed! 10/10! Also Jonathan was amazing! He swam with us to shore on the islands, was an excellent photographer and really just an all around gem. Service, experience, communication and the itinerary exceeded 5 stars. Thank you for a great day!!

AMAZING!!! Book this trip! - Wow! We were smiling ear to ear the entire time. Everything about this excursion was top notch. The visit to the Hidden Beach is not to be missed on a trip to Puerto Vallarta. We felt so lucky to have Eduardo as our guide. He was super knowledgeable, very friendly, and really went a over and beyond to make this a special trip. Not to mention the ceviche after spending so much time in the water was *chefs kiss* perfection. You will not regret going!

Don't hesitate - This is an actual customer, no AI, no BS review, recent, and short. In other words, helpful. I'm in a rush so sorry no pics. These three guys know what they are doing....Eduardo, boat captain, & beach guide. Its been a while and I apologize and don't have all names. We were on the boat with a family of four local folks, total of six. Don't do a big boat. This is ten max. Eduardo thoroughly explained everything in both Spanish and English, very nimble. The seas were moderate, and our captain was expert in maneuvering close to shore for pictures and to see the amazing birds. Our beach guide was terrific guiding our swim through the cave and into the hidden beach, and then getting all of the right pictures. He knows the camera angles for some great shots. The ceviche Eduardo made for lunch was excellent. Not guaranteed in March, but we saw humpback whales that approached the boat for great video. The tour fee covers the park entrance fee...so no surprises. We left a nice cash tip. Our experience was so nice that we ended up getting a ride back to PV with the local family......JTS Bainbridge Island, WA

Island adventures and cruising. - Eduardo was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to and ask questions about the Marietas islands. He was also attentive to one of our patrons having a garlic allergy. Eduardo made Acapulco ceviche from scratch that morning for us to enjoy for lunch while slowly cruising around the island on the boat. The ceviche was thoroughly enjoyed by all. After we drank and ate. We were able to see a pod of whales and the acrobatic display of a young humpback whale. Due to limited visibility, they allowed us to forgo snorkeling and just enjoy the beautiful day on the boat. The captain and crew were attentive and well-versed in the navigation of hidden beach, secret beach, caves and whale migration patterns. We enjoyed their kindness, company and private tour for four! I Would recommend future adventures with Eduardo and the crew. Thank you Eduardo and crew for making our day and adventure!
