The staff was super attentive and kind. The bathroom left a little to be desired but... no big deal! We went on a windy/choppy day so that was hard for some folks (sea sickness) and the music was really loud the whole time which might be hard if you're ill. Otherwise, pretty cool trip! We skipped snorkeling bc the water was really rough. We had photographers on the boat with us and they were so kind and snapping away always and we bought the photo package for $60 and I'm glad we did. For $100/person, food and drink and snacks at no extra charge, amazing experiences... totally worth it!

Excellent tour, the crew service is amazing, the food is very good and the Islas are an amazing natural spot to visit. We could even do stand up paddle very close to a whale!

I booked this trip for my family of 4 (our kids are 14 and 16) based on the stellar reviews. It was, as promised, a perfect day and so easy. Great food and drinks, incredible service, we had the chance to try all the water toys and even took a few trips down the water slide. If you are looking for an easy, fun way to spend the day, book the trip!

all day boat
Izabella_B, Mar 2024
Everything was fantastic. The crew was the best and we had so much fun swimming. The hidden beach is definitely worth it if you can get a spot and snorkeling was the best seeing so many fish. Would highly recommend!

Marietas Islands Family Boat Day
Chris_M, Mar 2024
This trip was great! The staff on the boat were exceptional. Extremely helpful and thoughtful. They were great with the kids and very helpful with all the activities. I will warn you that many are traveling without children and it is an open bar. So if you prefer your family not see that this may not be your trip. Although, that did not bother us.

Rachael_S, Feb 2024
1) The weather was rough, the crew was able to pivot and make a different activity for us which was so much fun. 2) The food/service was great 3) My son threw up on the boat and the crew was beyond helpful and nice to us. Overall we had a great time and I would recommend this to anyone!

A truly memorable and fun day!
Burke_L, Feb 2024
We loved our trip with Chicca Loca tours! Luis and his crew did so much to make the trip memorable and fun. Food and drinks were all delicious. Would suggest bringing a sunshirt since a lot of the day is in open skies and sunscreen isn’t allowed at the national park. It was so fun to see whales!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We're delighted to hear that you had a truly memorable and fun day on our All-Inclusive Full-Day Marietas Islands Boat Tour! Luis and the rest of the crew take great pride in making each trip special for our guests, and it's wonderful to know that their efforts, along with the delicious food and drinks, contributed to your positive experience. Thank you for the helpful tip about bringing a sunshirt; it's an excellent suggestion for our guests to stay protected under the open skies, especially given the restrictions on sunscreen at the national park. We're thrilled you enjoyed seeing the whales—it's certainly a highlight for many of our guests! We appreciate your recommendation and are so glad you chose Chica Loca Tours for your adventure. We look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable experiences in the future!
More than we expected for our day cruise.

There were portions of the cruise that we didn't expect, such as the whales we saw so close and being able to fish and enjoy the fish that were caught.

Fun times
Michael_L, Apr 2023
Crew was awesome!! Lots of fun and we were well taken care of at all times. Wasn’t able to see much during snorkeling but didn’t matter. Other parts were really fun. Knowledgeable staff about the eco system. Teenage daughters had a blast too with all the fun stuff do to on board.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Sounds like you had a really fun time, thanks for the great review
Amazing experience.
justincamara, Mar 2023
Absolutely amazing experience. The crew was a great time, the service was amazing. If you can do it, the hidden beach add on was worth every penny. We saw humpback whales (it’s nearing the end of the season) went to some great beaches ate drank and snorkeled. The boat has 2 slides and a jump platform. The crew even coordinated a taxi so there was one waiting when we returned. You won’t regret it.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thanks for the Amazing review. We now have 3 waterslide boats, a sailboat, fishing panga, yacht vip taught and the limousine of the sea
Great fun with great hosts!
Colin_G, Feb 2023
We had a great time traveling with Chica Locca Tours on the catamaran to the Marietas Islands. The crew were very lively and fun and took very good care each person on the boat. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again if I am traveling to the Puerto Vallarta area.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thanks for your recommendation. See you next time you are in PV
No hidden beach access available online.
Nathaniel_J, Nov 2022
I would say this is more of a boose cruise than a trip to the islands with shots poured into girls mouths and pushing drinks the entire time. The boat ride was fun and they had plenty of drinks for the guests. We were able to see whales which was also great. I would say overall I was a little disappointed in the overall trip. In the pictures of the trip they show the hidden beach in a majority of the pictures. This is not included in this trip and there is no opportunity to book using the online booking system. We got to spend about a half hour on a pretty small beach and most people after a couple minutes looked bored as there was nothing to do and the ocean is really choppy. After the beach we had fun playing in the water around the boat sliding down the slide and jumping from the second story. Us and a lot of other guests were pretty disappointed about not having even the opportunity to go to the hidden beach.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Thank you for your review and comments. I am sorry to hear you were disappointed about not visiting hidden beach. We make it very clear on our website. *Hidden Beach Access is not included with this tour* The Marietas Islands National Park strictly limits access and only 116 people per day are permitted to visit Hidden Beach. That being said, if you ask we do our best to try and secure on of the daily 116 spots for our guests. But with 2000 plus guests visiting the Marietas daily, only a limited number get the chance to see hidden beach. We wish it was different, but it is out of our control.
Marietta’s cruise
Scott_K, Nov 2022
Great fun, great staff! Would do it again, wished we could have gotten to the secret beach. Fun way to see and do some fun things in the area
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Gracias for the review. We look forward to having you aboard again soon.
