The captain surrounds the area to offer the best views and angles, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of this marine sanctuary without needing to descend from the catamaran.

Here the catamaran stops so you can enjoy a snorkeling session in a quiet and safe environment, surrounded by tropical fish and rock formations full of marine life. It is the ideal place to swim, relax and take stunning pictures. Colomitos combines the charm of an unspoilt beach with the opportunity to explore the fascinating underwater world of the Jalisco coast.
