The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive hydrated and fed

Eat a light meal beforehand and drink water—the sun and salt air dehydrate more quickly than you expect.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Protect marine life and your skin by applying reef-safe SPF and reapplying after swimming.

Motion-sickness prep

If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication or use acupressure bands before embarkation.

Secure valuables below deck

Keep phones and cash in a dry locker or soft waterproof case; the salon is shaded but not sealed.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Snorkel arches and caverns near Los Arcos for diverse reef life
  • Sheltered coves along the south bay near Mismaloya for calm kayak runs

Wildlife

  • Dolphins
  • Humpback whales (seasonal)

Conservation Note

Respect marine reserves—use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid touching coral or wildlife, and follow crew guidance on anchoring and protected zones.

Bahía de Banderas has long been a productive fishing and maritime corridor; small coastal villages here evolved into the resort and fishing towns that define the bay today.
