Boats leave every
morning for Yelapa, Las Animas, Quimixto and small secluded
beaches like Majahuita to the south of the bay and for
Piedra Blanca’s mountain-rimmed beaches to the
north. These day-trips usually include an English-speaking
capitan and crew, snorkeling gear, lunch, and an open
bar. |

You can take a day
trip to Islas Marietas Ecological Reserve, a reserve
where Jacques Cousteau spent time exploring the abundant
marine life including sea turtles, dolphins and whales
in winter. Or they can choose a trip for diving at El
Morro Reef. You will have a great view of Los Arcos
National Park and the giant boulders rising out of the
sea at the entrance to Mismaloya Beach. The boats vary
from sleek sailboats to the Marigalante, patterned after
Christopher Columbus’ ship, the Santa María,
complete with a below-deck museum of relics recalling
Columbus’ voyages. (Remember to wear a hat and/or
take sunglasses and sunscreen.)
Visitors can also enjoy a full spectrum of "fun
runs" from serene sunset cruises to unspoiled beaches
to high energy sunset sails with live tropical music,
barbecue dinners and games and activities.
