Overview

Hidden Beach Island Discovery: Departure from Puerto Vallarta

The Island Discovery Tour takes you to Playa Del Amor, commonly referred to as the Hidden Beach of Puerto Vallarta, located in the Marietas Islands, 22 miles west of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The beach features beautiful blue waters, all encased within an island cavern that only opens up to the sky above and the pacific ocean.

Searching for a breathtaking, secret beach? Mexico has many to offer. You have to know where to look. On our Marietas Islands Hidden Beach tour by the Pacific Ocean, we take you to one of the most beautiful, ecologically-diverse island paradises in all of Mexico. Take a walk on the iconic Lover’s Beach, snorkel and explore the waters, and glimpse humpback whales from our whale-watching boats. Read on to learn more about this unforgettable tour, and book with us now!

On the Marieta Islands, secluded beach escapes are everywhere. Our tour is specifically tailored to help you find them all. Please take advantage of our small group format as you enjoy a comfortable boat ride to the islands. Swim through cave formations and rock archways—some possibly created by military testing—admiring the extraordinary terrain and more than 100 species of unique birds and fish that call these islands home. Enjoy walks on the island’s world-famous hidden beach with friends and family as you soak in the sunshine.
