Kayak & Snorkel Tour of Isla de Sacrificios

This tour offers water sports experiences starting from boulevard Adolfo Ruíz Cortines in Veracruz. Participants will be transported by minibus or bus to La Bamba Beach for a basic training session on kayak handling.

After the lesson, participants will kayak to Isla de Sacrificios, supervised by professional guides. The paddle to the island takes no more than 40 minutes. Upon arrival, participants will prepare with fins, goggles, and breathing tubes for snorkelling in the clear waters around the island, observing marine life typical of the Veracruz Reef Park.

After about 45 minutes of snorkelling, participants will return to their kayaks and paddle back to La Bamba Beach, completing the activity approximately 3 hours from the start.

Stand up paddle & snorkel

Instead of kayaking, participants have the option to use stand up paddle boards (SUP) for the same route to Isla de Sacrificios. After snorkelling at the island, participants will return to La Bamba on their SUP boards.
