Important Information About Access to Protected Natural Areas
To visit Espíritu Santo Island and Balandra Beach, environmental authorities require the purchase of an access wristband that must be bought directly upon boarding. This cost is not included in the tour price due to government regulations that are beyond our control.

Access fees (direct payment upon boarding)

Espíritu Santo Island: $110 MXN per person
Balandra Beach: $65 MXN per person

These wristbands are mandatory and their sale is regulated by CONANP (National Commission of Protected Natural Areas). We cannot include them or sell them in advance.

Why this change? Authorities are seeking better control and protection of these natural areas. Your cooperation helps preserve these paradises!
