Absolutely Wonderful and so worth it! - This tour went above and beyond. The hidden beach was an incredible! After Hidden Beach, we got to snorkel and go to another exclusive beach, only accessible by boat. On our way back we even saw whales! Lunch was delicious and even though we ran out of time for surfing because we were on a cruise ship and had to get back I’m sure that would’ve been incredible too. The whole experience was fantastic and I highly recommend it. My 13-year-old said it was one of his favorite days of his entire life.

Fantastic private tour! - Absolutely fantastic! Eduardo was great and very informative. Our Captain and guide were fantastic. We saw whales and dolphins, which was a bonus. The hidden beach was amazing and the snorkelling was very good, they took us to a private area as the regular one had a big group who just arrived. Lunch after was a nice treat to end the tome. Highly recommended if you like small intimate tours!

Best way to experience the Marietas Islands - My husband and I had a wonderful day with Eduardo and his team. The snorkeling was fantastic. Eduardo shared interesting details about some of the fish and made sure we didn't miss seeing the unusual ones. The islands were beautiful and I would definitely recommend doing this tour with a small group. The experience was unforgettable. The crew made sure we had the best photos at each stop. The ceviche for lunch was delicious. I would definitely recommend taking this tour when visiting the area.

Wonderful Tour and Experience! - What a wonderful, activity-filled experience! Our guides were amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. Snorkeling was beautiful, Hidden Beach was epic, we were given some delicious ceviche at the end, AND a beginner surf lesson (awesome)! Can't say enough great things about Eduardo Campos and his crew, and the small group size meant we were well taken care of!

A Great Time in the Marietas Islands - My wife and I had an amazing tour of the Marietas Islands with Eduardo Campos as our guide. He was knowledgeable, professional, and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Eduardo ensured we felt safe and comfortable throughout the tour, and his passion for the area was evident in the way he shared interesting facts and stories. We highly recommend Eduardo for anyone looking to explore the Marietas Islands. Thank you for making our trip unforgettable!

Great Guides - We booked the small group tour and it ended up only being the 4 people in our group, score! We started out learning about Islas Marietas and snorkeling around the island. Then we were able to swim into the hidden beach. At the end of the day we finished with amazing ceviche and surf lessons. 10/10 tour! Would book again! :)

Did NOT disappoint!!! - This is a must do! Our tour guide, Eduardo, met us at AJ’s BBQ restaurant inside the hotel on the beach. We got to visit Marietas Islas, we snorkeled, and hung out on the beach. The water was SO warm. The water inside the cave to hidden beach was neon blue and we saw so many beautiful fish while snorkeling. The crew was amazing. I can’t say enough good things about this tour. To top it all off we finished the day with homemade ceviche on the beach in Punta de Mita. We are satisfied customers.

Exciting day at sea and at the beach - We had an amazing day on the water with Oceanus! We started with a boat tour to Playa Escondida (ie Hidden Beach) where we swam through the small cave to the beautiful beach, then snorkeling, and rounded it out with a lunch of freshly prepared shrimp ceviche and Coronas at the beach! Following lunch our knowledgeable guide, Eduardo, offered to teach us surfing basics. He was so patient when teaching us how to balance while paddling, kneeling, and standing on on the surf board. He was able to get both us novice surfers comfortable in the water and even successfully stand on the board and ride to shore! It was the perfect way to spend half a day while visiting Punta Mita. We were ready to do it again the next day! Thank you Oceanus and Eduardo for planning the perfect ocean adventure for us! Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta, Punta Mita, Sayulita or the near by areas!

Can't wait to go again! - Such an amazing time! They catered to our need and our group of 9. The hidden beach was very neat! We love an adventure. The snorkeling was good; the water wasn't the clearest, but thats irrelevant. They were great at guiding us, making sure we were all together and not worn out. We had some great food, even with a last min change. And then they took so much time to help all of us surf! So patient. So fun! Would love to go back!
