Whale Watching and Snorkeling in Marietas Islands National Park

Great tour with Palma as guide and Cesar driving the boat. Palma was a great source of whale, dolphin, bird information and just a super nice guy all around! The Sayulita Entourage office and staff was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience with Palma and Edgar on the boat, and excellent professional office staff. Very responsive and helpful. There are lots of party boats to choose from but if you want a great small group experience, this is it! Palma showed us the best spots to snorkel and we were thrilled to see many whales, manta rays, and other sea life. Great trip, highly recommended!

Great experience - we had a solid 3 hours on the water with small mixed group of divers and snorkelers- this time is not whale season in July so we were snorkeling the Marietas. It’s a beautiful national preserve where they’ve taken care to manage the numbers and way people can be in the area. It’s where the hidden beach is and on our trip we could see into the entrance as we did not get the extra ~$100 pass to go inside. Yes the cave/beach looks beautiful but that’s a lot for 30 mins inside especially when the coast of the island we snorkeled around was teaming with marine life and also very beautiful. So many brightly colored fish of all sizes, schools of tiny fish whose encircling near you is magical and we managed to see many octopus and a few Moray eels. Mexican guide had dry sense of humor and guided around the rocky coastal shelves on the edge of the island with good eye for what to see, and good knowledge of the nature. Birds interesting too, they all wore either green, red or yellow shoes, how do they get them on? We saw other much bigger boats come by and drop off much bigger parties which did not look as personal an experience as we got. Price included modest lunch back in Sayulita which was fine. Wear tons of sun lotion on your back!
