All of our tours are led by experienced local captains who were born and raised in the Bahía Chacala area. Each captain has known these waters since childhood and comes from a long tradition of local seafaring families. Their deep knowledge of the ocean, tides, and marine life ensures that every journey is both safe and unforgettable.

Our captains are known for their professionalism, kindness, and attentive care. They take pride in sharing the beauty of Chacala’s coastline with guests and are dedicated to creating a relaxed, enjoyable experience on every trip. Whether you’re whale watching, snorkeling, surfing, or fishing, you’ll be in excellent hands.

All tours depart from the muelle (pier) in Bahía Chacala. You’ll check in first at our Bahía Chacala Tours tienda, located along the malecón (seafront walkway), where our team will assist you and confirm your departure time. From there, your captain will meet you and escort you to your lancha (boat) for your selected tour.
