Mountain biking & snorkeling at virgin beach Manzanillo

Three hours of light to medium workout, beautiful scenery and unspoiled nature. You leave the hotel at 8 A.M. on your mountain bike, accompanied by the expert guide and snorkel instructor. The first half of your cycling excursion lasts approximately one hour as you cross the hills behind La Ropa beach on a level 1 mountain path with 30% of the time in a moderate climb, 20% level terrain and another 30% downhill towards the ocean, ending at unspoiled Manzanillo beach.

You may spend an hour or more snorkeling and enjoying the underwater fauna and flora in the warm Pacific waters, with the guidance of your instructor, before you start your return trip to the hotel.

If you prefer a stronger workout, you may choose the alternate route which requires previous experience in mountain biking. You will take a level 2 dirt trail, 50% ascending and 50% descending, which also ends up at Manzanillo beach.

The cost includes a special mountain bike, the guide/instructor, snorkeling equipment, one bottle of Gatorade and purified water. The tour ends downtown Zihuatanejo, from where you will have to take a taxi back to hotel (30.00 Pesos), which is not included in the cost of the excursion.
