Great day trip to Marietas Islands! Staff was great and attentive. Really enjoyed the beach time and also the kayaking. On the boat trip back to PV, the staff entertained us and did a great job of involving all the guests on the boat. Really fun day and I highly recommend!

GoPralia is a scam, the boat is not.

aura_m, Jul 2024

The Gopralia company that advertises this IS NOT THE OWNER OF THE BOAT, we paid and got confirmation and arrived on time but then the actual boat operators told us they had no registry of our reservation as well as the fact that the Gopralia company had failed to pay them in several occasions, so they wouldn't be able to take us. Thanks to some very nice people who had booked properly their tour and took us in, we were able to cancel through Viator and jump on the boat with them, the boat indeed was great and the service was excellent. Nonetheless, DO NOT BOOK IT WITH GOPRALIA.

Not quite what expected but over all enjoyable

Tegan_B, Apr 2024

The boat ride and service was awesome. Beautiful trip to the island. We had to use the motor to get there but we were able to sail most of the way back. The boat was smaller than larger tours which I really appreciated (however there was a discrepancy with booking size. I booked a “max occupant 7” sail but there was 13 - still not a big deal). What I would like to say is that the snorkelling was more of a challenging swim and less exciting than expected. Maybe I’m spoiled with snorkelling in Hawaii? Water is only clear enough to see fish very close to the rocks. Also access to the beach isn’t permitted for everyone. It seems there’s a lottery of sorts for people who can go on - look further into this as I didn’t and was surprised to hear I wasn’t allowed on the beach. Only two of the 13 people I went with did. Good bird viewing location. I was excited to see blue footed boobies! As well as a good variation of other birds. We also saw dolphins on the way back in. Outside of a small let down on the snorkel aspect, the boat ride, food, drinks and atmosphere were great! Very attentive crew.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you for your detailed review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the boat ride, service, and the overall atmosphere of the trip. It's wonderful that you appreciated the smaller group size and the attentive crew. We're sorry to hear that the snorkeling experience didn't meet your expectations and for the confusion regarding the beach access. We will look into these aspects to improve the experience for our future guests. Your feedback is invaluable, and we're happy you still had a great time spotting birds and dolphins. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

Disappointing

Gerald_L, Mar 2022

We booked this tour and got confirmation only to have it cancelled at 10:00 pm the night before the tour. We understand cancellations happen not happy that it was so late and gave us no time to book something else.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Sorry to hear that, when we have earlier notice we can still do something, it’s always a matter of time. Please email us to hola@gopralia.mx to give you alternative options , we’ll be very happy to explore them with you.

A memorable sea adventure in Mexico

Whale watching and a swim to the island! There were whales so close you could reach out touch one!! And, the swim to the beach was thrilling.
