That's right, typically in areas with marginal sanitation you just put the toilet paper in a waste basket along the side of the toilet. I think pooping in the ocean would be my choice there, as an alternative, mostly because no one would notice a little more cr-p in the water. I found the poor neighborhoods along our route and... more

Our cruise ship stopped in Mazatlan on a Wednesday and we decided to go it on our own to Stone Island. Getting out of the ship terminal is miserable (running the gauntlet of time share hawkers). We decided to walk to the water taxi stand. Its and easy and short walk, but we were the only ones doing it, so... more

Our group visited Stone Island during a cruise stop a few months ago. We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed laid back atmosphere. The beach was not crowded and the array of thatched roofed bars and restaurants were more than accommodating to our needs. There was plenty to do, from snorkeling to horseback riding and ATV rentals, and the long, flat beach... more

We recently returned from a Mexican Riviera cruise with a stop at Mazatlan. Having previously researched shore excursions, I decided to book privately the Stone Island Tour with King David Co. Their prices being less than half of those booked through the cruise line, this tour was well worth the $30pp. Hugo, our tour guide, was waiting for us just... more

Mazatlan was the second stop on our recent cruise. There weren’t many shore excursions we were interested in so we decided to go to Stone Island for the day. Based on research we had done, we decided to do it on our own instead of paying for a tour company to take us. We walked a couple of blocks from... more

Personally, I didn't think the tour was worth the money, but my wife does not agree. The boat ride to the cave, bird poop island, and sea lions was enjoyable and humorous. The island/activities lacked structure and excitement, but was OK. The water was to murky to snorkel (Mar18-25). The horse ride is short and relaxed so even if you... more

On March 19th we did the Stone Island Tour through King David Tours and had a wonderful time! The boat ride was enjoyable, the food was delicious, and the drinks kept flowing! The beach was fun and the horses were slow (which was good for my 6 year old daughter's first time on a horse). Hugo, our tour guide was... more

The photos were fun, the activities sounded perfect, and the kids were begging to go before the guide was finished talking. BUT SAVE YOUR MONEY. We only paid $100 (U.S.) for six of us, but it was not worth it. The brochure says it includes a boat tour of sea caves, sea lions, the Mexican navy ships and the cruise... more

There is no more relaxing place in Mazatlan than Stone Island and no better place on Stone Island to spend the day than Victor's Restaurant. We have been regular visitors for 20 years and it is always the highlight of our annual trip. You can relax in the sun or shade and there are hammocks to swing in as well.... more

Just got back from a seven day Mexico cruise on the Sapphire Princess. Our second port day was at Mazatlan and we decided to go to Stone Island based on recommendations from friends and reviews on Trip Advisor. Princess was offering a tour for $69 US per person which included boat to Stone Island, Lunch at a rustic local restaurant... more
