What to know before you go:
Isla Isabel San Blas is a National Park in Riviera Nayarit where you can experience a true encounter with nature. The island is uninhabited and has a very basic and rustic infrastructure. To visit, you will need to book a tour with an authorized Tour Agency and keep in mind the following recommendations:
- Isabel Island does not have bathrooms.
- Don’t forget to take insect repellent—you’ll need it!
- The tour includes food—the island doesn’t have restaurants or food service.
- You will sleep in a tent (if you can’t return on the same day due to maritime conditions).
After your Isabel Island tour, why not take a tour of Cora Island or explore the hidden beach at Marietas Island.
