How Much Does a Marietas Islands Tour From Puerto Vallarta Cost?
5 min read
For most travellers, the all-inclusive Marietas sightseeing tour is the price answer: €44.18 per person for 7 hours, with meals and an open bar named in the listing. If snorkelling is the main reason to go, choose the 5-hour Marieta Islands snorkelling trip at €123.92 instead. The middle-priced trips make sense when you want a longer boat day with food, but their prices do not automatically include access to Hidden Beach.

What the cheapest fare buys
The 7-hour sightseeing option costs much less than the other three. Its description centres on viewing the islands, dolphins, blue-footed birds and the marine landscape; the title adds meals and an open bar. That combination suits travellers who mainly want a boat day around the archipelago. It is not evidence that every water activity or a landing at a protected beach is included. Check the inclusion list before paying if either matters.

The two food-and-activity options
The 6-hour full-day tour is the shortest of the meal-and-open-bar choices, but its description is the most specific about activities: caves, snorkelling and kayaking. Its five-review record is still small, so the 4.3 score should not be read as a settled verdict. Choose it for that activity list, not because “full day” means the longest outing here.

The 8-hour breakfast-and-lunch cruise gives you the longest published duration in this comparison. Its description focuses on wildlife seen en route and qualifies humpback whales as seasonal. The extra time is useful if the cruise itself is part of the holiday; it is poor value if you would rather spend half the day back in Puerto Vallarta.

Why the shortest trip costs the most
The 5-hour option has the highest price here, but also the clearest single purpose and the strongest review base: snorkelling in clear water around the national park. You are paying for a focused outing rather than hours at an open bar. Do not infer Hidden Beach access from the island name; that restricted visit must be confirmed separately on the booking page.

Our recommendation
Book the all-inclusive sightseeing tour if price is decisive and island scenery is enough. Pay for the 5-hour snorkelling trip when water time is the point. The two €100-plus cruise options are worthwhile only when their particular mix of kayaking, meals or a longer day matches what you actually want.
