Dive: National Park Islas Marietas

Volcanic Islands and Hidden Beach Deliver Unforgettable Diving and Wildlife Experience

An ocean adventure open to participants aged ten and above is set around two striking volcanic rock islands, offering exceptional conditions for both scuba diving and snorkeling. The location is best known for its dramatic coastal scenery, crystal-clear waters, and the world-famous Playa del Amor (Hidden Beach), a secluded natural landmark surrounded by towering cliffs.

Beyond its underwater appeal, the islands are also an important ecological sanctuary, supporting diverse wildlife including migratory birds such as the blue-footed booby. This unique blend of marine and birdlife creates an environment where visitors can experience both ocean exploration and rare wildlife encounters in a single destination.

For certified divers, the site offers rich underwater landscapes shaped by ancient volcanic activity. Natural tunnels, caves, and rocky formations create dynamic dive routes, while marine life such as tropical fish, sea turtles, giant manta rays, eels, and octopus make every descent a varied and immersive experience.

Located approximately 60 minutes from Puerto Vallarta or just 15 minutes from Punta Mita, the destination is both accessible and remote in feel. Its combination of geological beauty, biodiversity, and iconic scenery makes it one of the region’s most remarkable spots for underwater exploration and nature-based adventure.
