Overview

Our tour isn’t just another snorkeling trip—it’s an authentic, locally owned experience designed with passion and personal attention. Here’s what sets us apart:

At Mismaloya Xtreme, we are the owners, guides, and boat captains. We don’t subcontract any part of the experience. This allows us to keep our prices low while delivering top-quality service every single time.

Truly Local Experience – We were born and raised in Mismaloya. Our deep knowledge of Los Arcos, its caves, marine life, and history gives guests a much more personal and educational adventure.

Small Group Adventures – We keep our groups small so we can focus on safety, comfort, and personalized attention.

Unique Stops & Extras – From taking photos inside the famous sea caves to optional cliff jumping near an old movie set, our tour offers experiences you won’t find anywhere else

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Los Arcos Snorkeling & 5 Island Adventure?

A: If 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. Read more Feb 2023

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Puerto Vallarta wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Puerto Vallarta over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
