The experience

The boat leaves Santa Cruz Bay and works its way along the coast, passing Playa Fandango, Playa del Amor, Playa Pescador and Playa Punta Paraiso before moving into Bahía Chahue and the smaller beaches beyond. Two stops anchor the day: La Entrega, where the water stays shallow and clear enough to see the bottom, and Maguey Bay, known for its deeper emerald green. At each stop you can snorkel if you want to, or eat at one of the beachfront restaurants, or simply stay on the boat and watch for dolphins, sea turtles and whales during their yearly migration.

Because the tour is fully private, you set the pace. You decide how long to linger at each bay, which stops matter most, and whether to spend the afternoon drifting between beaches or anchored in one place. The guide speaks both English and Spanish, and drinks stay cold on board throughout the day. Sports fishing is included at no extra cost. The boat carries rods and tackle, and you can cast from the deck or the water depending on what the guide recommends.

The tour runs six to seven hours depending on where you choose to stop and how long you stay. Infants can come along (they sit on an adult's lap), and the pace suits all fitness levels since most of the day happens on the water or on sand.

Is this one for you?The tour runs six to seven hours depending on your stops, so you're on the water most of the day. Bring sunscreen and plan to be comfortable in a boat. Because it's fully private, you control the pace and can spend as long as you want at each bay instead of following a fixed schedule.
