Mazatlan Van Tours
Sinaloa · Mexico
After hotel or cruise ship pickup, you'll head on a city tour of Mazatlan and enjoy the highlights of this place. See the breathtaking sights in Old Mazatlán, shop in local shops and visit the beautiful beaches in a small-group tour with a professional guide. Start off by visiting the highlights like the Spanish fort-lookout hill for amazing views of the highest natural lighthouse in the world and of the city. Then, head down to watch the brave cliff divers plunging into only 8 feet of water from 45 feet in the air dodging the sharp rocks below. Continue the tour and don't miss the opportunity to casually travel through the oldest area in Mazatlán; the Historical center and arrive to the Cathedral with plenty of time to go inside to take pictures. You'll also have time to wander around the area to visit the downtown market and/or the main plaza. From there, you will enjoy a nice ride along the longest boardwalk (malecon) in Mexico to head to the best shopping area with time to shop around and/or head to the beach to do your own beach activities. After you have enjoyed the best of the best in Mazatlán, we will return you to your cruise ship or hotel.
