Hidden Beach Dynamics
This tour is designed to be flexible and family-friendly. During the expedition, the group will temporarily separate for a maximum of 30 minutes (time limit set by CONANP) so those who wish can complete the swim to Hidden Beach.
⚠️ Access regulations: Due to official regulations, children under 10 and adults over 65 cannot enter the crater. If small children are traveling in your group, at least one responsible adult must stay with them on the boat, enjoying the scenery while the rest of the group completes the swim.

01
Departure and Short Navigation
After a brief safety induction and fitting of life jackets, we set sail from Punta Mita. You'll enjoy a fast and scenic ride on your private boat towards the Biosphere Reserve.
02
Mixed Experience: Hidden Beach
The awaited moment. Those who purchased the crater pass will jump into the water with a helmet and life jacket for the guided swim through the rock tunnel. The rest of the group (including children and the accompanying adult) will remain comfortably on the boat, enjoying the panoramic views of the islands, taking photos, and observing the wildlife from the deck while they wait.
03
Reunion and Reef Snorkeling
With the group reunited on the boat, we head to the permitted reef areas. Here, everyone (including children under their own responsibility and supervision) can jump into the water to snorkel and admire schools of tropical fish.
04
Circumnavigation and Birdwatching
We'll sail around the islands to admire their impressive volcanic formations, such as the famous "Stone Bridge". We will also look for nests of the iconic Blue-Footed Booby and other endemic seabirds.
05
La Nopalera Beach (Subject to tides)
If swell conditions permit, we will disembark at La Nopalera Beach, a beautiful white-sand cove with transparent waters, perfect for resting, taking photos, and letting children play on the shore before returning.
06
Return to Punta Mita
We begin our navigation back to the marina, the ideal time to enjoy your drinks, review the incredible photos you've taken, and relax while feeling the Pacific breeze.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the restriction for children at Hidden Beach work?
Due to federal regulations, children under 10 cannot enter the Hidden Beach crater. However, they can still go on the tour! While part of the group swims inside, the children stay on the boat, always under the supervision of at least one responsible adult from the same group.
Do I need to know how to swim to access the crater?
It is not strictly mandatory to know how to swim. The use of a life jacket and helmet (which we provide) is mandatory. If someone in your group does not know how to swim, our expert guides can personally assist them so they can enter safely. Of course, those who choose not to enter and stay on the boat do not need to know how to swim.
What happens if the tide is too high and the beach is closed?
It is highly unlikely that this will happen, as we monitor sea conditions and anticipate these situations before setting sail. However, in the rare and exceptional case that the port authorities close access due to last-minute swells, we will offer to reschedule your tour for another day (subject to availability) or do the normal tour around the Marietas Islands and refund the difference corresponding to the beach pass.
Can I bring my phone or camera inside Hidden Beach?
Yes, of course! We have waterproof phone cases for sale at the marina. In addition, our guide can help you safely bring your device inside so you can take incredible photos inside the crater.
What is the cancellation policy?
We offer free cancellation with a full refund provided you notify us at least 24 hours before your tour. Last-minute cancellations or "No Shows" are non-refundable.
