Cruise to Mazatlan, Mexico

Mazatlan shore excursions, amazing experiences coming soon., sorry, there are no excursions for this port at this moment., things to do in mazatlan.

SOAK UP THE SUN

Palapas on the Beach, Mazatlan, Mexico

One of the best things to do in Mazatlan, Mexico is spend the day visiting some of the resort town’s many miles of shoreline. This famous Mexican Riviera destination has plenty of fine white-sand beaches to choose from, each with its own vibe. Two of the most popular are laid-back Playa Olas Altas and lively Playa las Gaviotas.

HIT THE OLD TOWNS

Old City Street, Mazatlan, Mexico

“Pueblos Mágicos,” or “Magic Towns,” are recognized by the Mexican government for their beauty, history and cultural significance. Mazatlán is located just an hour drive from two of them — charming El Rosario and scenic El Quelite. Both are home to picturesque cobblestone streets, traditional architecture, authentic cuisine and thriving communities of local artisans.

ROCK WITH IT

Another great day trip from Mazatlán is a visit to Isla de la Piedra, known in English as Stone Island. A five-minute ferry ride away, this tranquil spot is actually a peninsula. It offers endless outdoor adventures — like horseback riding and some of the region’s nicest beaches. The restaurants here are also amazing, located in rustic palapas with views of the ocean.

SAVOR A TASTE OF SINALOA

One of the best things to do in Mazatlán, Mexico is to try the local cuisine. The city is known for its authentic Sinaloan dishes, which include hearty stews made in a caldo, or big pot, and fresh-caught seafood. If you like shrimp, try some refreshing aguachiles. If you’re craving something a little more robust, order a bowl of birria — a stew made of coriander-spiced beef, goat or lamb.

HANDCRAFTED CREATIONS

If you’re on a quest for the perfect souvenirs to bring home from Mazatlan, head to the Arts and Crafts Center in the Zona Dorada — Mazatlan’s resort district. The center offers a huge selection of products and souvenirs handcrafted by local artisans — from pottery and textiles to woodcarvings. Prices here are also much lower than what you’ll find at nearby boutiques and souvenir shops.

Mazatlan: tourist information

Mazatlán spreads for 15 sun-splashed miles along a thumb of land that extends southward into the Pacific just below the Tropic of Cancer. Mazatlán thus marks the beginning of the Mexican tropics: a land full of palm trees, perpetual summer and a refuge from winter cold for growing numbers of international vacationers. Mazatlán’s beauty is renowned. Its coast sprinkled with beckoning islands and miles of golden bleaches and blue lagoons, it aptly deserves its title as “Pearl of the Pacific”. Mazatlan meaning "land of the deer" in the ancient Nahuatl language offers 10 miles of inviting sandy beaches. It's no wonder Mazatlan plays host to more than one million visitors per year. The vacationers come and frolic on the beach beside their “Golden Zone” hotels, while in the old town at the tip of the peninsula, life goes on in the old-Mexico style: in the markets, the churches, and the shady plazas scattered throughout the traditional neighborhoods.

Mazatlan – Mexico

Last updated on February 2nd, 2024 at 03:13 pm

Experience the vibrant culture and stunning beaches of Mazatlan, Mexico. Relax on the golden sands of Playa Olas Altas, visit the historic Old Town with its charming plazas and cobblestone streets, or take a stroll along the scenic Malecon boardwalk. Indulge in fresh seafood, watch a traditional dance performance, or embark on a fishing excursion. Mazatlan offers a perfect blend of beachside relaxation, cultural heritage, and lively entertainment.

Check out these excursions in Mazatlan .

In Mazatlán, the wet season is hot, oppressive, and overcast and the dry season is warm and partly cloudy. Throughout the year, the temperature typically varies from 55°F to 90°F and is rarely below 49°F or above 93°F. The wet season lasts from June 7 to October 28, with an average daily high temperature above 88°F. The cool season lasts from December 12 to March 28, with an average daily high temperature below 81°F.

The official currency of Mexico is the peso. Some of the hotels, restaurants and vendors accept U.S. or Canadian dollars. Major credit cards are also accepted at a lot of these establishments in the city, but cash will be needed for buses, taxis and small purchases. Recent laws in Mexico make it difficult, if not impossible, for banks in Mazatlan to convert U.S. and Canadian dollars to pesos. The easiest way to get Mexican pesos is to use a bank card at an ATM. There are banks in the city and they will have ATMs.

Check out the current exchange rate here:

https://www.xe.com/

Wireless Internet:

Many of the public spaces in Mazatlan will have unsecured WiFi signals that emanate from surrounding businesses. If possible, use a VPN when using an unsecured WiFi signal.

Spanish is the official language of Mexico. You will find that vendors, taxi drivers and restaurants will speak a bit of English.

Where You Dock in Mazatlan – Mexico

The cruise port in Mazatlan is the same port that commercial ships berth at. It tends to be a very busy cargo port, so much so that a free tram will take cruise passengers through the shipping containers to the cruise terminal.

At the terminal there will be various vendors and shops, along with a pharmacy. There may also be timeshare vendors who will want to give you a free ride to look at their properties, so be aware that these free rides have a purpose.

Pacifico Brewing is right across the street, so you will find tables set up under the trees and beer available for purchase. There is also a quieter crafts market set up across the street from the terminal.

There are no ATMs in the terminals; you will need to go to one of the banks in town.

Getting Around Mazatlan – Mexico

It is about a mile walk into the part of town referred to as Old Mazatlan. The walking path into town is marked with a blue line to direct you to the historic center. The city is quite spread out, so if you are wanting to see the entire city, you will need a taxi.

There are buses in Mazatlan, and they are used mainly by locals.  They are an inexpensive way to get around, but know that some do not have air conditioning. Know, too, schedules can be “flexible” and they are not always on time, so take this into consideration for getting back to the ship on time.

Taxis will be present at the cruise terminal, and can be identified by the red or green stripe down the side of the cab. Negotiate your fare before you get in the cab and make sure you have small amounts of cash, as not all drivers will offer change.

This form of transportation looks like a golf cart. The vehicle is open-air and is everywhere in Mazatlan. They are easily flagged down on the street. Prices will vary and are unregulated in Mexico. Again, ask the cost of the fare before getting into the vehicle. This form of transportation tends to be more expensive than a cab.

Check out this drive through Mazatlan in a pulmonia:

Rental Cars

If you just want to wander Old Mazatlan, you can do that on foot. If you are wanting to see the Golden Zone or other attractions, then you will need to use a taxi or rent a car.

There are rental car services in Mazatlan. You will need to be at least 25 years old, although some companies allow 18 – 25 year old renters, but charge an additional fee. You will need your current, valid driver’s license from your home country. Your passport and a major credit card will also be needed. It will also be mandatory that you have Mexican Liability insurance. The cost of this insurance is not always disclosed in the cost of renting the vehicle. This insurance can be up to $20 per day.

If you choose to rent a car, know that there probably be spotty cell service wherever you travel. Download Google Maps or Maps.me office before you drive outside of the city.

Toll roads are well-maintained and have less stops than roads without tolls.  There is a site where you can calculate tolls here: Traza Tu Ruta, Secretary of Transports, Mexico

Speed limit signs,  along with distance signs, are posted in kilometers.

There will be military checkpoints along the way. They can either be a permanent or temporary checkpoint. The checkpoints will be on both sides of the roads and you will see men in uniform with automatic rifles. While this can be intimidating, their inspections will be for illegal drugs, guns or contraband items. Expect that you will be stopped, but do not expect that they will speak English. Let them inspect the vehicle and then you will most likely be sent on your way.

If you are stopped by the local police for an infraction, they will take your driver’s license and you have to go to the police station where you will pay a fine in order to get it back. If it is relatively small infraction, the police may ask for a “mordita.” In essence, this is a bribe to let you go on your way. Some travelers have reported that they were stopped when there was no infraction. Just know that if you are ever stopped, the odds are not in your favor.

There may not be GPS in the areas you travel in, and it is not unusual to see livestock in the road. Also, you should never travel at night.

Shopping In Mazatlan – Mexico

As is the case in many ports, you will find the familiar. Walmart, Sam’s Club and Home Depot are present in the city. If you want something to take home that represents Mexico, look for Mexican blankets with their bright colors. Masks and pottery are also items that are a traditional craft introduced to Mexico by Spanish artisans during the colonial period. Nothing says Mexico like Tequila and mezcal, and glassware to serve it in is a popular souvenir to bring home. For women, cotton fabric blouses called huipil have unique embroidery in the form of flowers or other intricate patterns. Taxco silver jewelry is another favorite item to take home. Make sure you see the 925 stamp on whatever piece you choose.

Gran Plaza Mazatlan

This mall has about everything. There are clothing stores, a food court, cinema, bowling alley and gym.

Grandarva Bazar

This bazaar has unique items like masks, textiles and wooden carvings.

The jewelry here is handmade by Mexican artisans. They use natural stones and 925 silver. The piece comes with a lifetime guarantee, although I am not sure how you would use that guarantee once you are home. They have pieces in gold, too, and also have diamonds and engagement rings.

Mazatlan Central Market/Mercado Pino Suarez

If you want to take home some spices, this is the place to get some. The building is a former aircraft hangar built in 1899. They have fresh fish, meat, cheeses, fruits and vegetables along with spices and baked goods. The market fills a city block. You can also purchase a meal there and there are always food carts and juice stands outside on the surrounding street.

This upscale is the largest operator of mid-to-high department stores in Mexico. The store has over 60,000 square feet on two floors with clothing, furniture, electronics, cosmetics, perfumes, jewelry and beauty supplies.

Sea Shell City Museum

Both a museum and gift shop, this family owned business has a stunning collection of sea shells.

Dining In Mazatlan – Mexico

Menus in Mazatlan are heavily influenced by seafood. Specialties include ceviche, zarandeado fish and aguachile. Along with smoked marlin and tuna, bearded tamales that are made with shrimp, tacos, fish crackers and grilled roasted chicken are dishes offered at most restaurants. Mazatlan also has a wide variety of beers, with the best known being Pacifico, which has its own factory in the harbor. Horchata, barley, coconut horchata and wines, not to mention tequila, are drinks you will find at most venues in Mazatlan.

Restaurante Los Panchos

With a beachfront location, Panchos has traditional Mexican fare but offers American dishes too. They have oven smoked pork shank,a great variety of seafood and steak items. Every meal comes with a small appetizer and the end of the meal brings a shot of Kahlua and cream, and both are on the house.

Restaurant Molokay

In business since 1954, Molokai is located on the sandy stretch at Stone Island. Technically not an island, it is a peninsula that is located just off the south end of the coast of Old Mazatlan, it can be reached by land from the east. It can also be accessed by a five-minute ferry ride across the channel. Its location on the beach gives diners the opportunity to dine inside or out. The seafood is some of the freshest in Mazatlan. Shrimp, fresh fish, prawns and chicken dishes are a few of the items on the menu. They have beer and margaritas along with free WiFi and good service.

Los Arcos Restaurant

With a few locations around Mexico, Los Arcos specializes in dishes “from the sea to your table”. From the menu, choose cool or hot items. The cool menu has red aguachile, stuffed avocado, snook callus, shrimp ceviche, crab ceviche, and tuna sashimi.

Things To Do in Mazatlan – Mexico

Playa sabalo.

This beach begins at the north end of the Golden Zone, and is considered one of the best beaches in Mazatlan. This area is sheltered from the ocean and the water tends to be calmer, making it good for swimming and watersports. You can purchase a sailing excursion, water ski, parasail or take a ride on a banana boat at this location.  It is also close to resorts, restaurants and shops.

Beaches off Stone Island

The beaches located here are ones that the locals prefer as it is not as crowded. Often offered as a shore tour, this area is a five-minute ferry ride away. There are several oceanfront restaurants in the area, too.

Walk the Malecon

One of the longest malecon in the world at 13 miles, this seawall has a very wide sidewalk and bicycle lane that fronts the ocean. Along the malecon there are monuments and statues to see, the Fisherman’s Monument among them. The cliff divers also dive next to the malecon at El Clavadista.

Watch the Cliff Divers

Even though they are called cliff divers, the divers will leap from a platform that is about 50 feet above the water. Divers need to time their jump so that they hit the waves to ensure it is deep enough when they hit the water. They dive seven days a week, and while this is free, donations are appreciated.

Cultura Mazatlán Angela Peralta Theater

Take a tour of the theater in the historic Old Mazatlan. Fully restored, it is one of Mazatlan’s cultural treasures and played an important part in the revitalization of the historic district.

Basilica of the Immaculate Conception

Absolutely magnificent on the inside and out, the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception is the main religious building in the city of Mazatlan. Built  in Baroque-Revival style it is home of the Catholic Diocese of Mazatlan. Many reviewers said it was a must-see.

Carnival cruise ship rescues 25 people stranded off the coast of Mexico

A Carnival Cruise Line ship responded to a call from the U.S. Coast Guard and rescued 25 people stranded in a small boat off the coast of Mexico, the company announced Saturday.

The 2,984-passenger Carnival Radiance had left Long Beach, California, on Friday and was heading toward Ensenada Mexico for a three-day sailing when the cruise ship's officers were informed by the Coast Guard "about a distress call involving a small vessel," a news release said.

The ship immediately routed toward the location of the vessel, provided by the USCG, and "quickly" rescued all 25 people on board, including three children, the company said.

The U.S. Coast Guard did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment.

The rescued group was welcomed onto the cruise ship and given food, water, and medical assistance. Carnival coordinated with the Coast Guard to hand off the group.

The incident did not disrupt the Carnival Radiance's schedule, the company announced.

Another Carnival ship rescued a group of 28 Cuban nationals stuck at sea as it was sailing the Caribbean and saw people signaling for help in late April. The cruise ship was headed from Tampa, Florida, to Roatan in Honduras at the time. Also last month, a Celebrity Cruises ship sailing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to multiple destinations in the Caribbean rescued a small vessel adrift between Mexico and Cuba.

Cruise Ships Resume Sailing from Port of Baltimore After Bridge Collapse

The sailings come just days after the Port of Baltimore officially reopened the channel.

Cruise ships are once again sailing out of Baltimore, just a couple months after a deadly bridge collapse causing voyages to change course.

The port, which shut down in March following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, welcomed Royal Caribbean’s Vision of the Seas on Sunday, followed by the Carnival Pride on Monday. The Vision of the Seas sailed a 5-night voyage to Bermuda , while the Carnival Pride embarked on a 14-day voyage to Greenland and Canada.

“Just a week ago, this terminal was being utilized as an incident command post. In one week, it’s been transformed back to starting out that guest experience,” Jonathan Daniels, the director for the Port of Baltimore, said in a video posted to X as cruisers got ready to board the Royal Caribbean ship in the background. “[The] Port of Baltimore is back — cruising is back. It’s absolutely great to be able to welcome everybody here.”

The sailings come just days after the Port of Baltimore officially reopened the channel following the refloat and removal of the cargo ship that crashed into the bridge. The channel now has a depth of 50 feet and a horizontal clearance of 400 feet.

The port is home to three major lines: Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Line. Both Royal Caribbean and Carnival were forced to reroute their ships after the bridge collapsed in the early hours of the morning on March 26.

Norwegian, which first launched cruises from the Maryland port last year , previously told Travel + Leisure the company wasn’t scheduled to return to the port until September. 

While smaller than some other homeports, Baltimore hosted 444,000 passengers on cruises out of the city’s port in 2023, according to the government . The port also brings in more than $63 million to Maryland's economy and is responsible for 400 jobs.
