Snorkel, kayak, and SUP at Islas Marietas plus Majahuitas BBQ lunch with drinks, whale and dolphin watching from Puerto Vallarta.
“Incredible experience. We went as family of four with two teens. Saw no less than 15 whales, several breaching and some swimming by as we were snorkeling ! ! The tour was so well organized and the crew really took care of everyone the whole day. Highly recommend.”
Sail from Puerto Vallarta or Nuevo Vallarta to Las Caletas for family adventure, kayaking and snorkeling, plus a buffet lunch and open bar.
“Vegan families - this one is for you! We saw whales and dolphins on the boat… when we arrived at las caletas there were tacos with black beans and veggies. Tons of beach spots to chill on hammocks and nooks. For lunch a great salad with nuts and veggies, more refried black beans and chips. Lots of bars everywhere, I recommend the strawberry margarita, best I’ve had in Mexico. They don’t provide towels but you don’t really need one because there’s lots of seating available. Towel would just be a nice to have as a bonus. My only complaint is the photographer. We just liked 1 of the photos and…”
Puerto Vallarta yacht to Majahuitas for snorkel and paddleboard, with unlimited open bar, lunch, and up to 40 guests.
“A nice, enjoyable experience. Great crew, helpful and attentive service. The snorkeling experience was enjoyable even if a bit short. One thing that was disappointing was that the food was not quite as advertised. That needs to be updated to provide an accurate description of what is provided. You cannot label a tour as "luxury" with an average sandwich for a meal. The number of guests is ideal as it does not feel crowded at all. Thanks to Diego Chihuahua for his guide services during the snorkeling activity. Be aware that the banana boat ride can get quite rough thanks to the boat driver. You have to be careful with…”
Luxury sailing on Banderas Bay with premium open bar and lunch, plus snorkeling and SUP. Sailing from Puerto Vallarta or Nuevo Vallarta.
“Fabulous day trip. Super nice crew. Boat is perfect, food and drinks were delicious. Everything you could want. Totally exceeds expectations”
7-hour day trip from Puerto Vallarta to San Sebastián del Oeste for organic tequila, old coffee, bakery tastes, mountain views, and lunch.
“Considering the time and distance involved, perhaps a bit more time in the village or one with more to see might have been better. (Widespread construction slowed things down for me) Tequila tasting might have been better at the end of the day as not everyone wants to be drinking so early. The combo of the back seat with the window lower than I could comfortably see out of + speed bumps and rough roads made the ride very uncomfortable for me. The guide could have been a bit more informative— especially during the ride— he didn’t really say much.”
Escape Puerto Vallarta with a Sierra Madre horseback ride and zipline, plus lunch, drinks, and round-trip transfers.
“This was fun overall. The ride is slow and bumpy. The horse walk was basic and through a small town with lots of garbage laying around. The ziplining was great. Beautiful river and huge valleys to fly over. It was more primitive than many others but that made it pretty cool. Wear long pants. Wear shoes. Bring a change of clothes. Lunch was very good. Bring a couple bottles of water with you.”
Butterfly release ceremony, a guided stroll at Mariposario Jardin Magico, and a traditional Mexican lunch with round-trip hotel transport.
“This was an AMAZING experience! I am a butterfly fanatic and was so excited to see this was an option. Fabian the guide is so knowledgeable and has worked hard to put the sanctuary together! The private transfer is so helpful to make it easy to get there. We had lunch at a local restaurant with Fabian it was delicious. DEFINITELY DO THIS TOUR”
Luxury sailing in Puerto Vallarta with an open bar, lunch, and beach time for snorkeling and paddleboarding in Majahuitas Cove.
“This activity was great. We had trouble finding some details though, so going to provide more here. Our hotel was close to Puerto Mágico so we walked there. We had to arrive by 8, you go through and pay for the harbor fee, then through a metal detector. The boat leaves at 8:30 AM. The boat is beautiful! Lots of places for lounging. Our boat had about 25 people on it but it didn’t feel crowded. 4 bathrooms on board. Started with a fruit snack, saw a ton of whales and dolphins, boated for an hour, snorkeled about 30 min, boated to another area where there was an island to…”
Sail a Hobie Cat, set fishing lines for your lunch, and choose ceviche or sashimi in Puerto Vallarta with a licensed instructor.
“We had a wonderful time sailing with our 8 year old son! This was a highlight of the trip. They are really patient and easy to understand. They let everyone try to steer and turn the boat around all while teaching the basics of sailing. We sadly did not catch any fish, but we still enjoyed the fresh guacamole on the beach afterward and stuck around to relax. I would highly recommend this activity!”
Half-day cruise to Las Marietas for snorkeling, kayaking, open bar, breakfast, lunch, and possible humpback whale sightings from Puerto Vallarta.
“La pasamos muy padre ! Desde que te subes al barco se siente la buena vibra , la comida muy rica , el lugar maravilloso y el personal siempre está al pendiente de que todo vaya bien! 10/10 ! 😊”
Private 4-hour sport fishing in Vallarta Bay from Mismaloya, with rods, seasonal catches, and fresh lunch cooked on shore.
“We enjoyed the fishing. We caught 20 skip jack tuna. It was a great experience. Sebastian was very knowledgeable and pointed out many things on shore. Once we got back to shore, they cooked for us ceviche and fish tacos. All of it was very yummy. First catch of the day was a pelican and the crew got him untangled from the line and released him. All in all a very good day.”
Puerto Vallarta catamaran day trip to Yelapa and Majahuitas with open bar, snorkeling gear, breakfast, and lunch, plus scenic town time.
“Extremely disappointed! Wanted to kayak with my husband using a 2 person kayak and only singles were available. The single kayaks were not available for everyone. I had to wait 20 minutes for other people to finish first. No time limit. I only had 4 minutes as our time was up. Had to move to the next stop. Very disappointed”
Sail from Puerto Vallarta to Yelapa and Majahuitas for waterfall time, snorkeling, kayaking, and an open bar with lunch included.
Full-day Puerto Vallarta boat tour with Los Arcos snorkeling, Las Animas swim, Quimixto waterfall options, open bar, music, meals.
“The breakfast was pretty basic. I did liked the lunch. Be prepared for loud music & make sure to bring photo id if you want snorkelling gear. Though there were so many people on the snore tour all the fish swam away. We also got back 2 hours after the advertised time, had to switch up our dinner plans. It was cool to see whales & turtles. Lots of upselling on this excursion.”
Catamaran to Yelapa with snorkeling, guided town tour and a waterfall hike, plus lunch and an open bar. 7 hours, from $84.
“Friendly staff nice breakfast. Lunch was okay. Snorkelling was fantastic so many colourful fish. Yelapa was lovely we hiked to the waterfall which included crossing a river where the water was about 3’ high in spots. That was a first. Warm water thank goodness. Definitely worth the money, we would do it again. Even saw a couple of whales from the boat”
