2.00Saying that this excursion fell short is an understatement. We booked a child ticket for a 9-year old and were told after we were already out that she can’t go to the beach unless she’s at least 12. Leaving my mother to have to stay back as well to watch after our kid. The waters were SO rough going to the hidden beach that my family truly feared for our lives. We were dragged under the water multiple times and pretty sure I got a concussion from my head being thrown into the rocks 3 times. And then due to rough waters, it felt unsafe to snorkel at their designated spot. We also weren’t able to reach the “relaxing white sand beach” due to these conditions. I completely understand that water conditions are out of their control. HOWEVER, we wish that we would have been offered a cancellation or reschedule. They saw how rough it was but chose to take us out anyway because they wanted to make the money. Im sure at one point we will be able to laugh about this near death experience we had- but for now, no way. We are traumatized and will probably not book through Viator for awhile (refusing to give us any compensation) This was a complete lack of safety and put us all in harms way just to take our money. It’s a shame. I’m sure this is a pleasant thing to do in optimum conditions- but this was not it. Again- risking our safety for the money is incompetent & unbelievably irresponsible. Good luck to those who book this

4.00Great experience. Snorkeling was beautiful, but too short and fast moving. It would have been nice to stop in certain spots and enjoy the area, but the guide kept pushing us to move on. Also it would have been nice to have fins
Fun on the sea

5.00Fabulous day exploring the island. The guides were kind and took care of everything. They took us snorkeling and saw lots of colorful fish. The guides took excellent pictures for us and found the blue footed boobie bird and whales on our way back to the port. Great day!!

5.00Our visit to La Isla Marietas was unforgettable. The experience itself was stunning—truly one of those rare sights that stays with you. The two gentlemen who guided us were exceptional. They explained everything clearly, shared information about the unique bird species in the area, and made sure we were comfortable from start to finish. I don’t even know how to swim, and they helped me get to the hidden beach safely and confidently. Their patience and support meant everything. They offered us water, checked in on us often, and created an environment where we felt completely safe. We arrived early, and they were flexible and willing to begin ahead of schedule. It ended up being an intimate outing with just one other couple, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommended—beautiful, well-guided, and absolutely worth it.
Excellent and Unmissable

5.00We had a delightful three hours with our very friendly driver and guide! We saw whales, LOTS of colorful fish while snorkeling, and had the hidden beach to ourselves when we went in. Tide was high and it was quite an adventure holding our breath and swimming in with helmets on under the cave ceiling between waves. Muy divertido y bonito!
