Balandra Bay & Hidden Beach

OVERVIEW

Cruise through gorgeous Balandra Bay to a secluded beach that is ideal for relaxing and enjoying the serenity of the sea. A welcoming breakfast will be served onboard the double-decker catamaran as you head off along the largely sheltered coast, which is backed by treeless mountains. You will pass a colony of vociferous sea lions along the rocky shore at San Rafaelito and soon come across the bay’s most outstanding geological feature, a bulbous rock that balances on what appears to be an impossibly thin stem. It looks just like a mushroom that weighs tons. Before long, the catamaran will ease into a beach-rimmed cove, allowing you to enjoy the tranquil setting as you please. Although you will be free to do nothing more energetic than bask in the sun, kayaks and snorkeling equipment are available. Back on board, a boxed lunch will be served and the bar will be open.
