About this activity

Only 116 persons by day are permitted to get into the hidden beach. Because in Eco Explorer we have more boats with permits than other providers, we have more spots available per day for this activity. 96% of our visitors get into the beach. As a commitment with conservancy, the park has been declaring a free of plastic islands, so it´s good idea to bring your own water container. Our boats are fast, comfortable, and safe, our guides know perfectly how to assist you on the boat, during the in-water activity and hidden beach access. The information provided by our staff and their experience is unvaluable. Hidden beach access is available from Wed - Sun only. Deposit (25USD) of hidden beach is not refundable if you do get to swim to it. (Because of bad weather conditions or spots not available). We also offer a private option up to 4 pax, this option offer more chances to access to the beach. This tour focuses on snorkeling, bird watching and getting to know our beautiful islands.

Hidden beach trip

Amazing trip. We had the best time. Louis was awesome. Very knowledgeable explained everything about the islands and its wildlife. He and his crew kept me and my two daughters safe. Hidden beach was amazing to see. Definitely worth the money.

Highly recommended

We had a great time! Our tour guide and captain were so nice and spotted so many whales on the way back for us. The hidden beach is so pretty and it was a fun adventure to swim in under the rock bridge. You get a little bit of everything on this trip. Definitely would recommend.

Eco Explorer tours

We went with Eco Explorer yesterday for the amazing tour of hidden beach and the islands yesterday - it was fantastic! Rodrigo and our “Capi” Hector were excellent. Capi negotiated across the huge bay with care to slide over the waves for a comfortable ride, and kept us close to the action at all times. Rodrigo was very attentive and informative in both English and Spanish. The islands are a must see - remote, wild and beautiful. Hidden beach is worth the swim in! We even got to see a Spectacular whale show - slapping his huge tail on the surface for a good 5 minutes! We strongly suggest these two guides for your adventure

Best tour we did in puerta vallarta

Got to swim to the hidden beach which was such a cool experience. It was a little rushed because of the government regulations they said we could go and had only 30 minutes to swim and enjoy the beach so we quickly had to jump in and go. It was a hard swim but worth it. Definitely need to be a decent swimmer. The boat was small and rocky but overall it was worth it to see the beach

Good trip horrible customer service

Berenice and our boat captain were extremely nice and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed that part of the trip. The swim into the beach is not an easy task and not for everyone. Currents are very strong. Do NOT buy the supposedly water proof bags from them, it didn’t work at all and we lost 2 phones to water damage. When I told the store their answer was: tough luck. The customer service at the store is actually pretty horrible. We also found out a little too late that we could have gone from punta de mita for a lot less money.
