About
The insular areas (islands, islets, and rocks), of the Gulf of California, represent approximately 50% of the insular territory of Mexico and in this route you will be able to know the most important ones for Sinaloa, the ones that are located in front of the port of Mazatlan.
Onboard a high-security semi-rigid boat we will cross the bay while discovering different islands, islets, rocks, and beaches that give us the perfect opportunity to take an amazing photograph while our expert guides share the history, geology, and life for each one of them.
During our tour we will be accompanied by different types of birds - gulls, frigates, ducks, among many other species, as well as dolphins, turtles and with a bit of luck stingrays. This tour is like a carnival of marine life!
