Discover Lush Jungles and Cascading Waterfalls on a Full Day Coastal Adventure South of Town


This full-day excursion begins with a scenic boat ride along the stunning coastline, heading toward the iconic Los Arcos Marine Park. Upon arrival, guests are invited to snorkel in the crystal-clear island waters, which are teeming with vibrant marine life and fascinating underwater rock formations. This initial stop provides a perfect introduction to the diverse aquatic ecosystems found in the region, setting the stage for a day filled with exploration and natural beauty in a protected marine environment.


As the boat continues south, the landscape shifts to reveal towering cliffs blanketed in dense, emerald-green jungle. This stretch of the coast is home to hidden coves and secluded beaches that remain largely untouched and accessible only by water. During certain seasons, lucky travelers may even spot dolphins or majestic humpback whales breaching in the open ocean, adding an element of wildlife discovery to the journey as you navigate toward the charming coastal village of Quimixto.


Upon reaching Quimixto, the adventure moves from the sea to the forest. A guided, easy hike leads participants through lush tropical trails, offering a chance to observe the local flora and fauna up close. The path culminates at the breathtaking Quimixto Waterfall, where guests can cool off in the refreshing natural pool located at the base of the falls. It is a serene and picturesque location that perfectly captures the wild, untamed spirit of the Mexican coastline.


The final portion of the day is spent at Las Animas, a picturesque beach paradise known for its golden sands and turquoise waters. Here, guests can relax under the sun, swim in the calm sea, or enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many beachfront restaurants. This comprehensive tour offers a perfect blend of underwater exploration, jungle hiking, and beach relaxation, making it an ideal choice for those looking to experience the diverse natural landscapes of the region.

We went for a whale watching tour. Francisco, who is fascinated with whales, is a great source of info, and very passionate about it as well. You will not get too close to the whales. They are very strict with their by the law amount of distance that should be kept from the whales. And I commend that, for sure. We have seen whales. Thank you for that.

My husband and I had a fantastic trip to the Islas Marietas and Hidden Beach with Michael as our guide. He was an excellent tour guide with so much knowledge about the birds and marine life. It was interesting to learn from him. He worked hard to find a clear place for us to snorkel, but unfortunately the conditions weren’t right for it today. Swimming in the ocean felt great, though, and we were lucky enough to be able to go to Hidden Beach since it is not guaranteed. It was beautiful and felt like an adventure to get there, swimming under the arch. What an amazing place! I should have brought a waterproof camera to get pictures there. I’m so glad we chose to do this tour! We weren’t interested in a party boat with drinking and loud music. This was exactly what we were looking for! Fun, educational, and beautiful. Thanks Michael (and the other guy whose name I forgot)!

Had an amazing experience with Maggie as our tour guide. We saw many whales breach, a mother and her calf, and dolphins. It was an amazing experience, completely worth the cost. The session starts with 15-20 minutes explaining types of whales, what we’ll see in Banderas Bay in terms of whales, super informative. Then we went out for 3 hours on the water, seeking the beautiful animals. You can tell Maggie has a great respect for the whales and the oceans, she was very inspiring.
