Arrive at 9a, leave around 9:45. Get back to town around 1:45. Cost/price was US$89.00, then a 600peso fee to specifically access the hidden beach, and a 100peso fee for the port. Carlos was a fantastic guide. Highly recommend

Absolutely amazing time. The boat ride was fun, and the snorkeling was THE BEST. One of the most incredible experiences here. Highly recommend. 10/10!

One of the most beautiful natural features I have ever seen. The ride there and back is long (45min) and wet but absolutely worth it. Should be a decent swimmer to do this, but if not, staff are extremely helpful

Me and my boyfriend had an amazing time, staff was very friendly, funny, and knowledgable. Reasonable price, the length of the visit was just the right amount of time to do everything we wanted to do/see. Nice group of about 9 people so getting on and off the boat was very quick and efficient. Really recommend this tour!!

Had an amazing experience and this won’t be possible without the guide especially for me who don’t know swimming, he supported me to explore the hidden beach and beauty of ocean through snorkeling.

We had a great trip to the Islas Marietas, the snorkelling was great and we saw lots of fish! Our guide Osvaldo and captain Isodoro were fantastic and made sure we had the best possible experience. We even saw dolphins and sea turtles! We would recommend!

Oswaldo was our guide and he was absolutely amazing. He made sure we felt safe. He helped each and everyone of us get to the beach. It was a WILD trip and experience. So glad we did it.

We had the best time snorkeling and loved how knowledgeable, caring, and fun the crew was. I highly recommend this company and will use them again in the future.

Francisco and Martin were great! Francisco showed great concern for our safety while maintaining an attitude of adventure. We saw Blue-footed Boobies, pufferfish, turtles (mating), seagulls attacking a family with chicks on the open ocean (sad, but natural). In the hidden beach we saw blue hermit crabs and red crabs. The snorkeling was excellent...a LOT of fish. My kids even enjoyed the boat ride out to the island. Highly recommend.
