Begin your Mazatlan adventure with a visit to Stone Island, a popular beach destination offering a blend of relaxation and excitement. This tour, priced reasonably and lasting about five hours, transports you from your hotel or Airbnb straight into a slice of seaside paradise. For around a half-day, you’ll enjoy unlimited drinks, a reserved shaded spot with chairs and tables, and the chance to choose two activities—be it horseback riding, water-skiing, or bouncing on a banana boat. It’s a well-balanced mix of leisure and lively fun, perfect for those seeking a taste of authentic beach life.
We love how the tour is designed with comfort and flexibility in mind—your shaded area ensures you can chill out without worrying about the sun, and the free-flowing drinks help keep the energy high. Plus, the friendly guides and quick transfers make the entire experience smooth and hassle-free. One thing to keep in mind: since the experience is fairly short, it’s best suited for travelers looking for a quick escape rather than an all-day event. If you crave a combination of water sports, scenic views, and casual relaxation, this is a solid pick.
A possible consideration is the 1-minute duration mentioned as a typo; the actual experience runs about five hours, so plan accordingly. And if you’re after a very quiet, secluded experience or prefer more extensive activities, you might find this tour a bit limited. However, if you enjoy variety and a lively, social atmosphere, it fits the bill perfectly.
This tour is ideal for travelers who want a snapshot of Mazatlan’s beach life—families, couples, or solo visitors who appreciate convenience, good value, and a chance to sample multiple activities in one go.

Selecting Your Activities
One of the tour’s strengths is its flexibility. You choose two of three exhilarating options: horseback riding, banana boat rides, or boogie boarding. We opted for a leisurely horseback ride along the shoreline, which was surprisingly peaceful and gave us a different perspective of the beach. The guides are knowledgeable, making the ride both safe and enjoyable, especially for beginners.
The banana boat ride is popular among thrill-seekers, offering quick bursts of adrenaline as you glide over the waves. For those who prefer a more laid-back approach, the boogie boards allow a casual splash and float in the surf. Many reviews echoed this sentiment, with travelers praising the variety and the chance to tailor their experience.
Dining and Refreshments
Lunch is included in the package, featuring a menu designed to satisfy diverse tastes. The food is flavorful and well-prepared, enough to keep your energy up for more splashing or lounging. Best of all, unlimited drinks keep your hydration levels high, especially in the midday sun. The drink service is attentive, making sure everyone stays refreshed without having to flag down staff repeatedly.
Relaxing and Taking in the Views
After the activities, we loved simply relaxing in our shaded spot, watching the waves roll in. The stunning views of the water and the distant islands create a peaceful backdrop that makes the entire day feel special. Many visitors mentioned how “the scenery alone is worth the trip” and how the guides’ insights about the area added a layer of appreciation for the surroundings.
