★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 527 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $38

Hike from Boca de Tomatlán to Colomitos and other hidden beaches, with snorkel gear included and a boat return from Puerto Vallarta.

“The Tour began with us all taking a forty minute plus, Public bus to the starting Point A of the walking Hike. Our guide Diego was very knowledgeable and helpful when providing advice on how to traverse some of the difficult climbing challenges throughout the Hike; although, the Hike along the coast should be the focus when describing the Tour. More time could have been spent staying at the beaches, but may have been influenced by our large group of twelve. During our tour, there was little time to issue out the equipment to our group; none of us had the opportunity to go snorkeling. I had brought a pair…”

4.Los Arcos 5 islands Snorkeling Cliff Jumping and Hidden Beach

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 295 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $49

Cliff jump options, Los Arcos snorkeling with caves and arches, and a boat-only hidden beach stop from Mismaloya. Includes gear, drinks.

“The tour operators were great. It’s more that the experience itself is just okay. Murky waters with limited fish sightings. LOTS of other boats / tour groups around. The drive there was about 30 mins - so expect 1hr out of the tour to be travel, and another 30-40 mins for organizing people to get to/from the boats. The secret beach is pretty but boring. If you’re looking for crystal clear waters and lots of fish, this isn’t it. But it’s still a fun outing.”

Hidden beach access guaranteed at Islas Marietas, with guided swim-through cave, snorkeling, birds, and a short time on Playa del Amor.

“Excursion was amazing! It was a bit of a challenge getting through the short tunnel because you had to fight the waves but the views are well worth it. The operators will guide you all the way in and back out and, if you're not much of a swimmer don't worry, they will literally tow you. The operators were fantastic and very friendly. I was staying in PV so I was grateful to find there were showers available at the marina to rinse off afterwards (the use of soap was not permitted and they charged less than $ 1 USD). If you have your own snorkel and mask I would…”

“My family most enjoyed the adventure into the Hidden Beach. If you stay calm, breast stroke in, and follow your guides instructions you will be fine. It only takes seconds to clear the lowest point and then your clear as the cave opens up. It helps to have cardio stamina as well. I saw terrified faces as we were exiting and they were entering. Staying calm is key. After, we went snorkeling. Our guide took the time to show us how to properly secure our snorkel gear. It was truly an unforgettable experience.”

Small-group safari to Islas Marietas from Puerto Vallarta with Hidden Beach swim, snorkeling, whales, and shrimp ceviche plus beer.

“My friends and I booked this excursion for a bachelorette trip and had so much fun! Our guide was extremely kind, patient and knowledgable. One of my friends was hesitant to swim to shore and Daniel strapped her to him and safely brought her to the island. He also took the best pictures of us in the limited time we were allowed on the hidden beach. After swimming to the 2nd beach, another friend got her hair tangled on a necklace and Daniel spent so much time and effort to get it untangled. We felt so cared for and safe under his guidance. The ceviche lunch onshore at the end…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 66 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $169

Marietas Hidden Beach speedboat from Puerto Vallarta: snorkel gear, dolphins and whales, small groups, and a cave swim to a secret cove.

“For the adventurous soul this tour is a different experience. You literally have to swim through rapid waters that push against you into a cave while the wild waters toss your body everywhich way. You get 30 minutes on the hidden beach and then you are back out swimming in the crazy waves back. The snorkeling was short and a bit less rapid. The lunch was a granola bar an apple and a banana. No water was given, luckily we packed some. I would not recommend for children under 12 or people who are afraid of water. Need to be a good strong swimmer. About 1/3 of our boat remained…”

“I had an amazing experience on our tour with Arturo! He was incredibly informative and shared so much interesting knowledge throughout the day. He was also very flexible with timing and never made us feel rushed or pushed into anything. Since there were only three of us, the whole tour felt personal and relaxed. Arturo is genuinely a kind person, and he made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves at every stop. The snorkelling was fun—even though we didn’t see a ton of fish, the experience was still great. The zipline at the park was absolutely amazing and exhilarating! We also had plenty of time to swim and enjoy…”

Hidden beach snorkeling from Puerto Vallarta with a small group, 2 snorkel stops, gear included, and a relaxing beach return.

“Elan and Alex met us promptly and we took the bus to the boat docks. They were very friendly, kind and easy to communicate with. The boat ride and captain were great. We went to three hidden beaches that are only reachable by boat or hiking. Riding a boat was much more enjoyable and faster. We saw lots of king angel fish and Sargent fish that were swimming right next to us. There was a nice stop on the way back for fresh fruits and juices. All in all, we had a great time. We would all highly recommend the tour!!”
