Ixtapa Zihuatanejo - List of the tours page 1

The towns of Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo offer a variety of different places to visit. The following is a list with the name and description of the different tours and activities I recommend:

Ixtapa Island Tour

Includes transportation from your hotel, to the Island and back, lunch and professional tour guide service. Departure is at 10 AM from the lobby of your hotel. It takes about 15 minutes to get from the hotel to the pier and 10 minutes from the pier to the island. Your lunch (included with the tour) is a guacamole for appetizer, and a fish filet with rice and salad and a beer or a soft drink. The Island has three beaches to choose all within a very short walking distance. Two of the beaches have calm water where you can swim or snorkel on the coral reef (snorkel equipment rents for $12 us dollars for the entire day). For an extra fee you can relax and have a wonderful massage as a cool breeze blows over you.

The return is usually around 3:30 PM. On the way back to the hotel we stop at a lagoon where we can see crocodiles, iguanas, turtles and different kinds of birds in a natural habitat.

Recommendations: Bring your swimsuit, towel, sun block and under water camera.

We can visit some shops in Zihua then board a boat which will take us the beautiful beach of Los Gatos. 400 years ago the Tarascan king Caltzontzín had a wall built, underwater, to protect the shore from waves and sharks. What remains is a very calm beach for swimming and some of the best snorkeling (at an extra fee) in Western Mexico. During the snorkeling tour try to find Jesus!
