Step off the ship and straight into the heart of Mazatlán with a seamless pierside pickup. Your well-orchestrated, enriching day ashore begins with a panoramic city tour showcasing Mazatlán's most iconic landmarks. Travel along the scenic Malecón oceanfront promenade and explore the historic charm of the Old Town. Vibrant Plazuela Machado is the city's cultural hub and home to the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. Take a photo at the Mazatlán Letters.
Connect with Mazatlán's natural heritage as a certified marine biologist guides you through an engaging and educational presentation on Pacific coast sea turtle conservation efforts.
You will participate in a simulated turtle release, designed to replicate the process while protecting the species. You'll also have the opportunity to observe and interact with recently hatched turtles, offering a memorable and responsible wildlife encounter.
Afterward, indulge in a delightful lunch near Plaza Machado. Savor regional flavors and the lively atmosphere of this historic town square. Enjoy free time to stroll about the plaza and browse in local artisan shops before you return to the ship.

The sea turtle release activity is a simulated conservation experience designed to protect the species while providing educational value. Interaction with hatchlings and conservation activities are subject to environmental conditions and local conservation protocols.
