Marietas Islands Tour From Dallas

Dallas travelers have one of the easiest paths in Texas to a genuine luxury beach escape, and the Marietas Islands are the reason to use it. Land in Puerto Vallarta, take the short drive to La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, and step aboard Rayando el Sol -- our Tanna 47ft luxury catamaran with room for up to 16 guests. This is a private charter, not a shared excursion: a dedicated crew, an onboard chef preparing a four-course gourmet menu, and an open bar with craft cocktails and fine wine throughout the day. From the boat, you'll head into the Marietas Islands National Park, a protected marine reserve famous for the Hidden Beach tucked behind a natural rock archway, plus calm water ideal for snorkeling, paddleboarding, and fishing -- all the gear is already on board. Whether it's a couple's getaway, a milestone birthday, or a group of friends looking for something beyond the usual resort pool day, this is the version of Puerto Vallarta most visitors never get to see.
