At the islands, enjoy guided snorkeling in crystal-clear waters (weather permitting) and the chance to observe a wide variety of marine life and seabirds in this protected natural area. Please note that water clarity can vary depending on sea and weather conditions.
For those who select the Hidden Beach access option, there may be a short wait before your scheduled time to swim through the cave entrance to reach this extraordinary and secluded beach. Once inside, you’ll have approximately 20–25 minutes to swim, relax, take photos, and enjoy the serenity of this world-famous natural wonder.
As part of the park’s commitment to conservation, the Marietas Islands are a designated plastic-free zone. We kindly ask that you bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated. A water refill station and eco-friendly cups are also available on the boat for your convenience.
