ellibob5940 Posted January 12, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Does anyone know which beaches have the best snorkeling in these two ports?? Also, how does one get to the beaches on their own? Taxi? If so, how do you decide which ones are safe?? Thanks, Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hult1972 Posted January 14, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2007 We are going to Acapulco, Ixtapa, and Manzanillo on the Carnival Spirit Janary 26. We are also looking for places to snorkel. If you hear of any let us know. Cindy and Gary hult@cpinternet.com cghult@peoplec.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgetteCruz Posted January 21, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2007 In Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa: Playa las Gatas is the one I keep hearing about. We are going in Feb, and doing the same research. I think it you take a water taxi there. Also heard mention of Isla Ixtapa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruinlvr Posted May 23, 2007 #5 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Snorkeled in Zihau in April at the Manzinillo Bay. Hired a water taxi to take a group of 10 there for $10 each. The ride took about 30 minutes to get there. They tried to stop at some other bay first but one of our group had seen pictures of MB and knew that wasn't the right place, so we continued on our way until we saw a Catamaran Tour from the ship. We snorkeled from the water taxi and found out that they didn't have a ladder to get back in--that was a chore as the two boat guys dragged you back in by your armpits. We also found out they didn't have any life jackets on board after we got there. However, the water was clear and warm and the fish were plentiful. One of our group, a young Dutch man, brought some bananas to feed to the fish. They were swarming him. But I guess that was a no-no since you aren't supposed to bring food off the ship. Another woman brought dog bisquits and that worked well too. All and all we had a great time and would do it again..Oh yeah, bargain with the taxi drivers...
