Plan the rest of the stay
Marietas Islands & Majahuitas
The protected Marietas Islands for snorkelling and kayaking, then secluded Majahuitas beach, with lunch and an open bar on the way home.
Private Yacht Charter
Fifteen boats, from a nimble 26-footer for the Marietas to an 82-foot Montefino for thirty. Four, six or eight hours on your own schedule.
Vacation & Event Photography
A professional photographer for the family portrait at sunset, the proposal, or the whole celebration, so no one has to hold the phone.
