Sailing to Marietas

Tour Details:

Banderas Bay is the 7th largest bay in the world and was probably formed by an ancient volcano where the sunken rim is sometimes visible in the center of the bay. The Marietas Islands are a series of barrier islands on the north entrance of the bay that provide a wonderful sanctuary for a great variety of marine life. The area was declared a national park on April 25, 2005. There are over 80 species of birds that nest at the islands including 30 rare species and one very rare species: The Blue Footed Booby Bird. A great variety of colorful tropical fish live along the cliff faces and shoreline as well as octopus, eels, spotted rays, seahorses, and lobster. There are also giant Manta Rays and sea turtles that visit this area. Our most popular residents are the Dolphins that inhabit the bay and like to play in the bow waves of our boats. One creature you won’t find in the Bay is a shark! The dolphins raise their young in the bay and the adults patrol the entrance and keep the sharks out!
