An Ecological Treasure Just Minutes from Punta Mita
If you’re in Punta Mita vacation rentals and wondering about a quick adventure to the stunning Marietas Islands, you’re in for a treat. These breathtaking islands are only about 8 kilometers (5 miles) away from Punta Mita, which means you can reach them in just 15 to 20 minutes by boat. Yes, that’s right—just a short, scenic ride across the Pacific, and you’ll be in the middle of a tropical paradise.
What Awaits You at Islas Marietas?
Once you arrive, you’ll quickly realize why this national park is one of Mexico’s most iconic natural wonders. These protected islands are home to:
- Playa del Amor (Hidden Beach): A geological marvel— a secret beach inside a collapsed crater, accessible only by swimming through a tunnel. It’s like stepping into a dream.
- Snorkeling and Diving: The crystal-clear waters around the islands are full of vibrant marine life, including tropical fish, manta rays, and even dolphins, if you’re lucky.
- Bird Watching: The islands are home to the famous blue-footed booby, a rare and fascinating bird species.
- Kayaking & Paddleboarding: Navigate the archipelago’s rock formations, sea caves, and hidden beaches from the water.
