Boating in Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta lies on the Bay of Banderas, a large bay on Mexico’s Pacific coast backed by the Sierra Madre mountains. Day trips head south to coves and villages reached mainly by boat, or west to the Marietas Islands near the mouth of the bay.

Where to go by boat

  • Marietas Islands

    Protected volcanic islands with seabirds and the famous Hidden Beach.

  • Los Arcos

    Rock arches off Mismaloya, a protected area popular for snorkelling.

  • Yelapa

    Village in a cove on the south shore, reached mainly by boat.

  • Las Ánimas

    Sandy beach on the southern shore of the bay, easiest to reach by boat.

Tip: The Marietas Islands are a national park with limited access and landing rules, so check what is allowed before you go; humpback whales visit the bay roughly from December to March.
