Board your air-conditioned motorcoach and begin your guided tour with a scenic drive to Mazatlan’s old downtown district for a visit of the cathedral. Continue down the coast taking in views of one of the world’s tallest lighthouses on a natural hill, the offshore islands and beautiful beaches.
Returning to Mazatlan, stop to browse for souvenirs and handicrafts in the city’s Golden Zone.
Continue on to Aztec Theater for an open-air performance by folkloric dancers, followed by the aerial acrobatics of the famed Papantla Flyers, who twirl about on a 75-foot-tall pole in the ancient ritual of "The Dance of Those Who Would Fly."
Then it is time for a buffet lunch at a leading resort, followed by free time to swim, sunbathe or enjoy the hotel’s many amenities. Changing facilities and towels are provided. Return to the ship via complimentary taxi, which run until a time designated by the coordinator at the hotel, whenever four passengers are ready to return.

Board your 2 level vessel and go in search of humpback and gray whales off the coast of Mazatlan. An experienced guide is on hand to provide commentary and answer questions.
Once whales are spotted, your captain positions the boat so that passengers can view and photograph the whales without disturbing them.
An open bar serves complimentary bottled waters and sodas as well as adult beverages. Sightings not guaranteed but chances are excellent.

Board your air-conditioned motorcoach and head out into the countryside as your English-speaking guide provides narration about Mexican country life. See demonstrations on adobe brick-making, watch the production of floor tiles, and visit a bakery with wood-fired ovens in the village of Malpica.
Drive to Concordia, founded in 1550 and famed for its furniture, handmade pottery and magnificent Baroque church. Then return to the Mazatlan Aztec Theater for an open-air performance by the aerial acrobatics of the famed Papantla Flyers, who twirl about on a 75-foot-tall pole in the ancient ritual of "The Dance of Those Who Would Fly."

Transfer from the ship and travel south of Mazatlan to your embarkation point. Board a shaded, open-air launch for the cruise to Stone Island, passing the Pacifico Brewery and the naval base. At Stone Island, cruise through four miles of mangrove channels, watching for pelicans, blue herons, sea hawks and osprey.
Disembark at the dock of a small farm, and walk through an orchard to your waiting transportation. Board a shaded, open-air carriage and travel to the beach, where you have approximately an hour to sun and swim. A light lunch of traditional Mexican dishes will be served during your tour. Optional horseback riding is available at an additional cost.

Board motorcoach for an approximately one-hour drive to Huana Coa Canopy Adventure base camp. Then transfer to classic Swiss Army Pinzgauer 6x6 vehicle travelling off-road from the valley floor into the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountain range. Receive a briefing of all techniques and safety measures used during the canopy adventure.
Your highly trained staff will take you through a series of 12 platforms with 9 ziplines, a flex-walk bridge and nature trek. A rappel from the final platform located in an ancient Huanacaxtle tree will bring you safely back to earth among the vast rows of blue agave. Before boarding your transportation back to the vessel, you will have time to visit the Los Osuna tequila distillery and see how this popular liquor is produced, and the chance to test it as well!

YOUR KAYAK ADVENTURE

After a short transfer by taxi, board a vessel for the 10-minute cruise to Stone Island. Disembark at the beach on the island’s leeward side. After a short safety orientation, board your kayak for a 60-minute guided paddle along the island's shore and around picturesque Cactus Island. (These simple "sit on top" kayaks do not require prior experience.) After kayaking, you can choose to continue your adventure with a swim, beach games or by taking a guided hike of the island that leads to stunning views of Old Town Mazatlan and the Pacific. Board your vessel for the return cruise to Mazatlan.
