Amazing Ecotours snorkelling adventure!

Published on Dec, 2024

I just wanted to say how much my family and I enjoyed the wonderful snorkelling tour that Ecotours organized to Marietas Island. Our day was very magical, made even more so by the incredible staff you employ. Michael was a great guide, who went to special lengths to make sure that my family had fun, but remained safe. And the captain of the boat, whose name I forgot, was also excellent. Lastly, Berenice Arriola, who was managing your office, was simply an amazing ambassador for Ecotours. She was incredibly warm and friendly. Ecotours should be proud to have such an incredible group of people representing their company. Thanks again! We will definitely book our next tour with Ecotours the next time we return to PV! Best wishes for the holidays! Sincerely, Mark Mitchell and family

Great adventure!

Published on Sep, 2024

Raphael and Mike where very great tour guides. Very informative. They took the time to show us the sights and explain the history.

Best excursion I've been on

Published on Sep, 2024

This might be the best excursion I've ever been on. The whole process was incredibly easy. Michael and Rafael took us and 2 other couples out and they were so nice and friendly. Michael would point out dolphins and turtles to us. He was extremely knowledgeable about the sea life and none of the experience felt rushed or hurried. The waves were super choppy, but you could tell Rafael knew how best to navigate so we didn't slam into the waves. We got to see incredible sea life and it was so much fun. You can tell they definitely have a passion for what they do. Cannot recommend it enough!

Great daytrip! If you love nature and birds, it's a must!

Published on Aug, 2024

I recommend doing this in the AM, otherwise I would think the boat might be a little crowded. We were lucky enough to pick a morning tour and it turned private because no one else booked that time. I had a great time with my friends. Cynthia and Captain Rafa were great. Cynthia is very knowledgeable and would gladly answer any questions we had. She was kind enough to become our personal photographer when we arrived at the hidden beach. The birds were beautiful, and we even got to see turtles mating! Lite snacks and a sandwich and drinks were provided. And the snorkeling was just enough, we got to see tropical fish and tons of sea urchin. Wouldn't say the best sights as far as snorkeling goes, but it was definitely relaxing. The views of the islands did not disappoint it was almost otherworldly to see such islands off the coast.

An Amazing Experience!

Published on Jun, 2024

Our Ecotours snorkling adventure was absolutely delightful with the very knowledgeable biologist Cynthia and our boat captain Raphael. While Cynthia told us about a wide range of diverse ecological topics, Captain Raphael navigated the boat with amazing expertise bringing us in close to wildlife and positioning to boat for awesome pictures! It it a bit of a ride to and from the island but certainly worth it. Snacks and picnic lunch were very adequate. You may want to discuss dietary restrictions before going. This small group, personalized tour was very will worth it!
