Description

Meal(s) served- One or more meals served on tour

These magical islands are 22 nautical miles from Puerto Vallarta to the north side of the bay, and one of the best dive sites in the area.

Several species of Sea Birds make the Marietas Islands their home. The endangered Blue Footed Boobie birds thrive on these islands, besides here, they are only found in the Sea of Cortez and Galapagos Islands. This is an exciting dive as there are many lava tubes and cave formations to dive thru. Between dives, the divers are able to visit Playa del Amor (Beach of Love) which is only accessible by swimming thru a cave and observe the natural habitat of the Sea Birds.

The boat ride to the islands affords us the opportunity to see Dolphins, Giant Manta Rays, and Turtles. In the months of December through May the Banderas Bay is home to the magnificant Humpback Whales.

To participate in this dive, you must be a certified diver.

The Marietas Islands are a Federal Protected Nature Reserve, a sanctuary for a diverse species of birds, turtles, dolphins, humphback whales and tropical fish and because of this, no one is allow to land, nor stay at the beach.
