Hidden Beach (Playa Escondida) Private Group Boat Tour from Punta Mita

Discover one of Mexico’s most iconic natural wonders on a private group boat tour to the Marietas Islands, Perfect for families or groups of up to 8 guests seeking a private snorkeling and beach exploration experience around the Marietas Islands, enjoying comfort, flexibility, and personalized attention on a boat reserved exclusively for their group, moving at their own pace throughout the tour.
This private tour offers guaranteed access to Hidden Beach (Playa Escondida).

The tour departs from Punta de Mita, one of the closest and most convenient departure points to the Marietas Islands. After a short boat ride, you’ll arrive at this protected natural area, making it an excellent option for travelers staying in Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta (Nuevo Nayarit), Bucerías, or Sayulita.

This carefully regulated tour allows you to enjoy approximately 30 minutes inside the beach, following all national park guidelines, in a relaxed and well-paced setting without sharing the experience with other groups.

Entry to Hidden Beach involves swimming about 100 meters through a natural tunnel, always accompanied by a certified guide who provides close assistance and leads the group through safe routes. The guide can also help transport your cellphone or camera safely into the beach and assist with taking photos once inside. Due to park regulations, access is limited, making advance booking essential for private groups.

Beyond Hidden Beach, the tour includes snorkeling with colorful marine life, a photo stop at the Stone Bridge, and a visit to Nopalera Beach, where your group can swim, walk along the shore, explore caves, and take photos with greater flexibility. You may also observe local wildlife such as blue-footed boobies along the way.
