Snorkeling at Islas Marietas Tour Details

Explore the spectacular Marietas Islands National Park and discover a vibrant underwater world. Swim among colorful reef fish such as king angelfish, Moorish idol, giant damselfish, butterflyfish, parrotfish, and balloonfish, and observe corals, sponges, starfish, sea urchins, and other marine invertebrates.
Above water, enjoy birdwatching opportunities with blue-footed boobies, magnificent frigatebirds, herons, egrets, pelicans, and more. With a bit of luck, you may spot dolphins or sea turtles nearby.
Our trips focus on small groups, snorkeling, and appreciating the natural beauty of the islands.
