Short of time? This is ideal for you, an excellent introduction to the Island. Maximize your time and get a real feel of our Caribbean Paradise. Choose among the many beautiful beaches, the gorgeous view from the lighthouse in the south, or cruising through town looking at local arts and crafts.
If you can spare more than three hours, there’s a longer version of this tour called “Private Island Tour Plus”, or you can combine your tour with other activities.

- Your guide will meet you outside your hotel if you’re staying at the island or one of the two alternative walking distance meeting points1, you'll receive a quick debriefing, and the guide will collect your remaining balance. It is important to let us know when you’re booking where you’ll be staying, if you’re coming from the mainland, or if you’ll be arriving by cruise ship (if it’s the latter, we’ll need the name to confirm a meeting location).
- It’s time to discuss with your guide what you’ll like to see and where you’d like to be taken, your guide can help give you recommendations, but at the end of the day, this is Your Day, Your Way!!! You can choose to add lunch which has a price of 10 USD per passenger; if you choose to do so, we count with two options: “Tortugas Beach Club” for a more island/summer experience (with an amazing ocean view) or “Casa Misión” for a more Traditional Mexican lunch at a beautiful hacienda.
- Maintaining a certain sequence with the order of things you’d like to see is important to maximize the time. Please coordinate it with your guide; they’re experts at this.
- Once the activity is over, your guide will take you back to your meeting point after a day of fun on the island.
