Why take this tour?

On this 5-6 hours tour, we will take you by boat to Boca de Tomatlán, a nice fishing village, at the delta of the Horcones River, where tourists and locals meet to take water taxis to the southern beaches of Bahia de Banderas. This is where we start our hike to Las Animas. From Boca, the highway goes inland, so there are very few options to get to the beaches to the south of Bahia de Banderas: boat, swim or take the natural path along the coast, which we will do! Following the path approximately 1 mile away from Boca, we will arrive at a small cove: Colomitos, blue and calm water characterizes this area. Enjoy the fresh ocean breeze, time to relax and take some nice pictures. We will snorkel around these blue waters, where hundreds of different species live. We may even encounter manta rays and sea turtles. Then we are off to Las Animas, to have lunch and relax before coming back to Vallarta. Lunch is not included, but the prices at the restaurants are great, and so is the food!!!
