Organized Tours in Manzanillo

Escorted Tours -- Because Manzanillo is so spread out, you might consider a city tour. Bahías Gemelas Travel Agency (tel. 314/333-1000) runs half-day city tours for about $25. Other tours include the daylong Colima Colonial Tour (about $70), which stops at Colima's Archaeological Museum and principal colonial buildings, and passes the active volcano.

Sunset Cruises -- The Antares (tel. 314/333-1371; www.antaresmanzanillo.com) departs from Playa Audiencia at different times depending on the season and costs around 360 pesos; buy tickets from a travel agent or your hotel tour desk. The cruise includes drinks, music, and entertainment, and lasts 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
