A Secret Hideaway in Banderas Bay
The trip navigates Banderas Bay to a secluded cove described as a secret hideaway—part beach day, part small‑boat cruise—where guests disembark to explore the shoreline and shallow water.
Snorkel, Paddle or Relax
On arrival guests can snorkel, paddle or simply relax on the sand; the outing combines active water time with unhurried beach downtime.
Ceviche Prepared on the Beach

What the day feels like
What the Half‑Day Feels Like
The rhythm is simple: a morning or midday departure, a short cruise across the bay to a tucked‑away stretch of sand, a mix of snorkeling and paddling or shaded relaxation, and a beach‑side lunch as the crew prepares ceviche from the day’s catch. It’s a compact, social outing designed to leave the water and a fresh meal as the lasting impressions.
