Puerto Vallarta: Snorkel in Majahuitas and Las Ánimas Beach
Overview
Unlike conventional mass cruise tours, the adventure offers you an authentic connection to the essence of Jalisco. Here's why we're your best choice:
Authenticity from the first minute : We start with a local transport journey to Boca de Tomatlan. You’re not just a tourist on a private bus; you’re a traveler experiencing the vibrant daily life and spectacular scenery of the coastal road as a real local.
Exclusive Access by Sea: By using water taxis from the picturesque fishing village, we guarantee an intimate and exciting arrival to Majahuitas, a paradise that only a few manage to know because of its difficult land access.
Underwater Quality Time: While other tours limit snorkeling to 30 or 45 minutes, we give you 90 minutes of total immersion. We want you to really explore, swim among the fish banks and enjoy the natural aquarium without rushing.

What To Expect
Discover the natural beauty of Puerto Vallarta with a snorkeling adventure in Majahuitas and a day of relaxation at Playa Las Ánimas.
Start your experience in the Romantic Zone of Puerto Vallarta, where you will meet your local guide and take public transport to Boca de Tomatlán. From there, you will board a boat to enjoy a panoramic tour of the south coast of Bay of Banderas, surrounded by mountains, tropical jungle, and beautiful beaches.
Our first stop will be Majahuitas, one of the most attractive destinations for snorkeling in Puerto Vallarta. Equipped with mask and snorkel, you will explore the waters accompanied by your guide, with the opportunity to observe tropical fish and other marine species in their natural habitat.
After this aquatic adventure, we will continue to Playa Las Ánimas, where you will have free time to swim, relax on the beach, take photographs, or enjoy the local gastronomy at one of its beachfront restaurants. Food and drinks are paid for separately.
Unlike excursions on large boats, our tour is conducted in small groups of 20 people, offering a closer and more authentic experience

Frequently Asked Questions (14)
The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Cool Puerto Vallarta customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Puerto Vallarta snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Puerto Vallarta tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
