A great sight seeing adventure to Marietas Islands with flexibility - Eddie and Daniel took very good care of us from the start. We had 3 adults and 5 children (aged 7-16) on this trip. Really cool boat ride out to the Marietas islands with several whale and dolphin sightings. The boat was small enough to enjoy alone to ourselves as a party of 8 people. It was a fun, but not scary, adventure out in the large waves. The smaller boat allowed us to get into several caves and even close enough to the "blow hole" at the island to get wet which the kids loved. The snorkeling gear was brand new and well cared for; very clean. The water was not great that day and a little rough, so it was difficult for us all to see many fish, etc. and fully enjoy usual snorkeling. But, they were flexible and we called an audible and shortened the snorkeling portion of the trip and went to see more blue footed boobies, crabs, and other wild life. On the return boat trip we tracked several humpback whales and saw a baby and parents close up. We were given options along the way such as stopping and swimming at a beach vs. more exploring. The kids gave this trip two thumbs up. A great day on a boat. Bonus props: One of the adults was one month out from knee surgery and they were very accommodating with easy entry from the beach into the back of the boat. Only difficulty was finding the meeting point. We originally drove just past the intersection as we didn't see a building with the company name on it. Seriously, as they tell you in the instructions, it is through the fence by the blue building at the intersection of Av. Las Pangas and Corral del Rico Also note that actual access to go onto the hidden beach is limited to the first 200 or so people each day. So, you'll get park pass wrist bands, but this tour doesn't guarantee you get to walk onto the hidden beach or swim in the area.

Great for families! - Daniel (our guide) and Eddie (the ship captain) were great! Daniel took the time to show us lots of wild life (birds, whales, and of course lots of fish while snorkeling). He also was so great about taking lots of family pictures of us and photos of our children (ages 14, 11 and 5) having a great time. Highly recommend this tour!

Awesome tour! - Shark Tours was amazing. They met us right on time. We were the only ones so we were able to negotiate longer time for the snorkeling part of the tour.

Fun boat ride to beautiful islands! - We had an amazing time with Jesus and Jorge. They we are both so knowledgeable and made us feel safe while swimming to the beaches from the boat. It was so nice to have the boat for just our family and we had so much fun. Since it was January, we were able to see whales all around us. The water was a little too murky for snorkeling this time of year, but just being able to see the Blue Footed Booby was worth it.

Excellent tour - The 2 1/2-hour tour was intense and excellent. Very good guides. Everything happened as described. The attention of Daniel the guide and Eddie, captain of the boat was respectful, warm and very professional

Tour time - The tour was beautiful and worth doing. The crew was very attentive and full of fun facts. Plan on getting splashed even if you don’t want to swim.

Great tour by locals - We were a group of six women and had a great time on this tour. The captain and guide were amazing and very knowledgeable. One nice aspect of this company is that it's run by locals, not some huge company that's simply in it for the money. I encourage you to take this tour!

FUN Snorkeling Trip - June 2024, took the family on this tour and it was FUN. Great snorkeling experience and got to swim onto the “Cactus” Beach!

Awesome - Great crew, fun knowledgeable. We saw a ton of whales right by the boat, and the snorkeling was unbelievable despite the murkier windy conditions.

Skip - Expensive, no one speaks English, hard to find the company and somewhat unsafe. Not worth it! Please do your homework
