No need to pay for an excursion to Stone Island. Just take a water taxi over to Stone Island. You can lounge at any of the establishments as long as you order. It is my favorite place in Mazatlan!

 

Copied these directions from another post!

 

Directions to Stone Island Mazatlán:

 

- Mazatlán is an industrial port, and as such, you will need to take one of the complimentary trams from the cruise ship to the cruise terminal. Once you arrive at the terminal, work your way through the vendors and cab drivers to the pier exit

 

- As you exit onto the city street turn left and walk along the concrete port wall about 4 blocks

 

- At this point, the street curves to the right and you will notice a gate that marks the entrance to the Mexican Navy on your left

 

- Do not turn, but cross the street and continue straight ahead onto a dirt road. Follow this dirt path about 50 yards to a small yellow building which is the ticket booth for the water taxi

 

- Purchase a round trip ticket for 20 pesos ($2 US) making sure to keep your ticket for the return trip

 

- Board the water taxi for your short ride across Navigation Channel

 

- Once you get to the other side, walk forward over a small mound, follow the path that turns slightly left and the wide expanse of beach lined by palapa restaurants is in full view
