Las Marietas Islands are located near the northern end of the Bay of Banderas and is a protected wildlife sanctuary. This trip takes you to the magical islands, home of several endangered species of birds like the Blue Footed, Boobies, which are only found in the Galapagos islands and the Islands of the Sea of Cortez.
Great diving through caves and tunnels and visiting Lovers Beach which is accessible by surface swim through an archway. All of these formations are volcanic. The underwater diversity is one of the greatest within the Bay. Numerous species of mollusks, nudibranchs, sponges, echinoderms, gorgonians and sea fans, with significant hard coral coverage.
The boat ride is about 70 minutes, and offers the opportunity of viewing dolphins, giant mantas, turtles and Humpback Whales (seasonally).
