Only 116 persons by day are permitted to get into the hidden beach. Because in Eco Explorer we have more boats with permits than other providers, we have more spots available per day for this activity. 96% of our visitors get into the beach.

As a commitment with conservancy, the park has been declaring a free of plastic islands, so it´s good idea to bring your own water container.

Our boats are fast, comfortable, and safe, our guides know perfectly how to assist you on the boat, during the in-water activity and hidden beach access.
The information provided by our staff and their experience is unvaluable.
