Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Los Arcos de Mismaloya?

Los Arcos de Mismaloya is a natural reserve made up of large rocks in the sea that form small caves where we snorkel.

Do I need to know how to swim?

Although we provide life jackets, it is important to know how to swim, since you will be going into caves where there can be high tide.

Will we go to Los Arcos de Mismaloya, Playa las Animas and Quimixto?

The first two locations are the most important, since they are where you will snorkel and get your food, but it is important to mention that to go to Quimixto, it is not mandatory for everyone and it is an option that you can choose to go or not to go. I will explain the dynamics: When you arrive at the town, the hiking begins, a walk of about 45 minutes, when you reach the river, you have a stay of about 35 minutes where you can take a drink from the restaurant and take a break to descend. I must remind you that, for this optional activity, you must be in good condition.

Are drinks also included in the restaurant at Las Animas?

Rest assured that on board the boat, you will have all the drinks that we offer completely free but once you get off the boat, the drinks and extra food are on your own, this in order to support the economy of the local residents of these beaches.
