Experience the adventure of Banderas Bay…the Chica Locca Way!
Chica Locca Boat Tour to The Marietas Islands with Side Tours to Hidden Beach Access, is one of the activities you should put at the top of you list of tours and adventures to enjoy during your stay in Puerto Vallarta or elsewhere in Banderas Bay.
These islands are a natural treasure, at least what was left of them. In the early 1900’s they were used as targets in military bombing exercises, something that would have continued, had it not been for the intervention, of, among others, Jacques-Yves Cousteau in the 1960’s. Since then they have been protected from overfishing and human activities, including bombshells…
The Marietas are a small group of uninhabited islands a few miles off the North coast of Banderas Bay – with its closest town being Punta de Mita. Its two main volcanic islands date from around 60,000 years ago, one is called Isla Redonda (Round Island) and the other Isla Larga (Long Island, no relationship to the one in NY).
A natural landmark of Banderas Bay, the Marietas Islands are among the most important spots in all of Mexico and the Eastern Pacific tropics for marine birdwatching and it is a protected shelter for innumerable marine species. This makes it even more unique a place to visit, but one that you must take care of and respect the established rules to safeguard the species that depend on this park
