What To Expect
Boat departs at 10:00 am from the main marina pier heading to southern Puerto Vallarta to visit some paradisaical beaches away from civilization, only accessible by sea. We have then two choices, either visit Las Animas beach or Quimixto beach, both have crystal clear waters, lunch will be served at LAS ANIMAS in a great oceanfront restaurant, get the sun, swim, get a banana ride or parasailing but these two activities are not included in the tour.
If you choose to go to Quimixto, it is an excellent decision too. a beautiful town surrounded by mountains, the main attraction there is to rent a horse and go to the waterfalls. It is amazing, taste the local spirit RAICILLA which is a little bit stronger than Tequila.
Talk to the local people, get some souvenirs and taste our local food. undoubtedly one of the best tours we have in the area. return to Marina Pier at 5:00 pm

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.
