5.00The team of 2 -driver and guide- did a great job of getting us to the islands and onto the spots at the right times. It was high tide when we arrived at hidden beach so they took us to the other island for snorkeling instead. It was good there. Several large schools of fish and decent color. Next to lovers beach which was quite crowded. Then we went back to hidden beach where tide.was a bit lower so.we could more.easily navigate the entry tunnel. Getting back to town was rough due to the wind and waves but the driver did a good job of balancing speed and comfort. We saw other boats which were jam packed and were not guaranteed to get to hidden beach. We were very thankful to be on a small personal boat tour of 8!
Had a great experience...

5.00The tour guides were knowledgeable and spoke both English and Spanish. It was a no frills, small group experience which we like vs a party boat scene. There was bottled water provided. It ended up being just over 2 hours. We saw whales, did some scuba diving and saw Hidden Beach. Swimming into Hidden Beach took some time/strength due to the waves/rides.
Surprisingly fun - a must do!

5.00A local small beach departure. No Marina. Smaller boats step into water to board boat. Captain was knowledgeable and friendly. The swim for 80 meters was a little work with the current working against you going in but easier coming out. Waters and sodas provided but need to bring your own towels. No sunscreen allowed when headed to beach or snorkeling due to protecting the reef. Whale watching on the way back was not even part of the tour but the captain took extra time to watch the whales and the show was spectacular with 2 even breaching right next to the boat. This smaller group tour of 8 people is perfect to really enjoy the beaches and scenery. Bathrooms at the office are pay to use. Area is “locals” not touristy. Highly recommend if you want to soak in the culture, the people and have a great adventure on the water.
Wonderful!

5.00What a great experience! Highly recommend, the meet up place was easy to find, the two tour guides were very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful with swimming and getting to the hidden beach. The place was beautiful and if you're lucky it might be a private tour as it turned out for us, as we were the only ones booked for that time!
So much fun!

5.00This tour was even better than I expected ! You meet the guides at the marina in Punta Mita and they take you out in a small boat , we had 10 people . They were awesome at pointing out whales , birds , and so much information about the islands . We snorkled first since the hidden beach was pretty busy . I was thinking that the snorkeling would just be ok since we are on the pacific side but it was amazing . The guide is in the water with you and points things out . We saw eels , puffers, lobster , and so many other beautiful fish . It really was a great spot . They also took us by playa nopales a small beach for taking pictures. Last was the hidden beach which was just gorgeous . The swim in is super easy and the guides will take pictures for you. We saw humpback whales on the way back - perfect day ! The tour takes about three hours.
