About This Guide

This guide makes one decision easier: which Marietas Islands trip fits your plans. We compare 30 tours in four categories.

What This Guide Covers And How The Tours Compare

This guide covers 30 bookable tours, from catamaran days to private charters out of Punta de Mita, and it only covers trips to the Marietas Islands. Each listing shows its from-price, duration, operator and rating where published. Nine tours show their price only on the live booking page, and we say so plainly.

What Tours Cost And Where The Boats Leave From

Published from-prices run from $67 to $369. Private charters price for the whole boat, not per person, which explains the top end. Boats leave from Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta and Punta de Mita, and Punta de Mita is the closest jump-off point.

What Do Visitors Ask Most Before Booking A Hidden Beach Trip?

• Do I need a tour to visit? Yes, the islands sit inside a national park, so access runs through licensed operators only.
• Is Hidden Beach included? Some listings include the landing in the ticket and others sell it as an optional extra, but no operator can guarantee entry on the day, so check the listing before you pick.
• Can I cancel? Every tour on this site lists free cancellation, though terms sit on the live booking page.
• What does a day cost? Twenty-one tours publish from-prices between $67 and $369, and the other nine show their price only on the live booking page.

How Booking Works And What This Site Earns

Pick a tour here and you move to the live booking page to pay. The operator handles the trip itself; we never take your payment.

When a booking goes through, the booking site pays us a commission. The price you pay is the same either way, and rankings never follow payout.
