Marietas Islands & Lovers' Beach Snorkel Tour
Marietas Islands & Lovers' Beach Snorkel Tour
About
Las Marietas Islands Marine National Park with clear-as-can-be water and abundant marine life is the perfect place to snorkel. It's easy to see why famed oceanographer Jaques Cousteau started a movement to protect them.
You'll take a 45 minute boat ride to the islands, once there, your bilingual eco-guides will take you for an unforgettable snorkel tour. Swim through cave formations and rock archways, admiring the extraordinary terrain and more than 100 species of unique birds and fish that call these islands home. You'll see tropical fish and possibly turtles, manta rays, eels, octopi, wild dolphins and, in season (Dec-Mar), humpback whales.
Then, depending on sea conditions, you will have a chance to swim through the tunnel to the iconic 'Lovers Beach'.
