FAQ
Are we guaranteed to visit the Hidden Beach?
Your safety is our first priority and access to the Hidden Beach depends entirely on sea conditions, reaching the Hidden Beach cannot be guaranteed on any tour.
What does the tour include if the Hidden Beach isn’t accessible?
Island Discovery is designed to explore the wonders of the Marietas Islands while snorkeling, bird watching and more! In the winter, witness one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles as majestic Humpback Whales are spotted in the Bay of Banderas, and experience an extraordinary up-close encounter with wildlife.
How do you get to the hidden beach?
The hidden beach is accessible by boat. Board one of our speedboats with our bilingual tour guides and cruise to the secret beach to explore all the beauty nature has to offer. If sailing conditions are not ideal there is still lots of wildlife to enjoy without accessing the hidden island.
How was Playa del Amor formed?
The Marietas Islands formed as a result of volcanic erosion thousands of years ago. This left the island uninhibited and it then became the site for Mexican military testing. Many explosions and bombings in the early 1900s caused the beautiful caves and rock formations that you will explore on this tour to Lovers Beach.
