Top Ixtapa Sightseeing Tours in 2026

Start with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Ixtapa or Zihuatanejo. The hike begins at the Hermenegildo Galeana Flora and Fauna Protected Area. Embark on a 40-minute trek through the lush, low tropical jungle. Your guide will help you spot local wildlife such as coatis, white-fronted parrots, and other native birds along the way. Arrive at the impressive geological marvel of Cueva del Tigre. The accredited tour guide will provide you with a helmet and headlamp to safely explore the cave’s towering ceilings, hanging roots, and unique rock formations for about 40 minutes. Exit the cave and begin the scenic, 30-minute walk downhill towards Majahua beach. The trail winds through limestone hills and offers spectacular panoramic viewpoints of the Pacific Ocean. Arrive at Playa La Majahua. Take a refreshing walk along the white sands, take pictures and relax. Return to the hotel. Pack up and enjoy a 25-minute drive back to your accommodation.

Book this tour that takes you into the rural landscape outside Zihuatanejo where your guide will take you to spots you wouldn’t find on your own, and treat you to a traditional lunch, too. This is a private tour, so you can go at your own pace, stopping at places like Barra de Potosi Playa Achiotes to explore the coconut plantation. You can also try regional tropical fruit as you hear stories of how locals use natural resources in everyday life.

We'll sail the bay, look for turtles and dolphins, and then we'll watch whales. After the sighting, we will take you to Las Gatas or Manzanillo beach, where you can snorkel or swim. There are also other activities you can rent on your own, such as kayaks, pedal boats, etc.
