Amazing Experience - Ask for Pablo! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an absolutely wonderful experience! Our guide, Pablo, and our boat captain, Ricardo, were both excellent. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the area and shared so much interesting information about the wildlife, birds, plants, and everything we were seeing along the way. From beginning to end, they made us feel like we were their number one priority.I was personally pretty nervous about getting into the water. I’m not someone who typically goes very far into water when I can’t see the bottom and add nighttime AND a cave to that, and I was definitely a little freaked out! 😂Pablo was incredibly patient, encouraging, and reassuring. He told me he would stay right beside me, and he absolutely did. I never felt pressured, and once I decided to get in, he made sure I felt safe the entire time. He was also constantly looking out for everyone else in our group while we were in the water. Because of his encouragement, I was able to experience something I probably would not have done otherwise and I’m so glad I did! It was such a cool experience, and everyone had an amazing time.Pablo’s care didn’t end when the tour was over either. He made sure arrangements were taken care of for each couple in our group and that everyone had a safe way to get back to their hotel.We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. If you have the opportunity, definitely ask for Pablo! He truly went above and beyond to make the entire experience safe, fun, informative, and memorable. And a huge thank you to Ricardo as well for taking such great care of us on the boat!

An unforgettable day in paradise ✨
If you are visiting Puerto Vallarta, booking this tour with Alex is an absolute MUST! From start to finish, the entire day was pure perfection. Alex is a wonderful guide—warm, super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and simply great company to be around. He makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable right from the moment you meet. The itinerary itself is balanced so well: you get a fun hike through beautiful scenery, plenty of time to relax and swim, and fantastic spots for snorkeling (Playa Majahuitas and Quimixto are just breathtaking!). Alex knows all the best local details, facts, and hidden spots, which makes the whole experience feel personal and unique rather than just another commercial tour. It was truly a perfect day, and Alex made it so memorable. I couldn't recommend him highly enough—10/10! Thank you, Alex! ❤️

It had everything!
We had an amazing time! Aeri was an incredible guide and was very knowledgeable of the marine life, biodiversity, and even the bird population. When the visibility wasn't great with the two spots we went to, he took us to another one just out of kindness and we saw sea turtles, manta rays, and pufferfish. Truly an amazing experience--highly recommend.

Dolphin Dreams Come True🐬

Wild Dolphin Encounter & Snorkeling Adventure

Dolphin Dreams Come True🐬
The minute I found out that I could swim with dolphins in the wild in Puerto Vallarta - I knew I had to make it happen🐬 They had originally signed us up with swimming with the dolphins and sea lions in a tank. When I found out, it was in a tank I made sure to let them know that I am very against that and that we only want to swim with them in the wild. We got lucky and had a private tour. They told us if more people didn’t sign up they may cancel it. I’m so glad they didn’t! Our guide Michael and Captain Martin were amazing! The day started off a little slow, but we never lost hope! Sure enough just a few minutes later, they found us a couple of dolphins that were calm and swimming slow, so we were able to get in and swim with them! It was the most beautiful experience seeing them so close and in their natural habitat. We got more time with the dolphins than I ever could’ve dreamed of. So when he told us, it was time to give them some space I was super fulfilled and more than happy to see them from the boat. We both thought that the tour might have just ended there, but they fed us some sandwiches and took us snorkeling at this beautiful secluded beach. Michael was able to tell us about all the species of fish and the marine birds. And on the way back - even more dolphins!!!😍 This excursion couldn’t have gone any better. I can’t wait to come back!🩵🐬

Thanks Dani & Ricardo!
Our guide Dani and our boat captain Ricardo were the best. We were supposed to be a group of 5, but the other 3 people never showed up so my wife and I basically had a private tour. Dani and Ricardo were very friendly and they did an awesome job of taking care of us at every part of the trip. It was the highlight of our stay thanks to them and we would absolutely do it again. Next time we’re bringing our whole family and asking for Dani and Ricardo.

If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable experience in Puerto Vallarta, this is the tour to book. We wanted something beyond the typical tourist excursion, and this exceeded every expectation. From snorkeling in beautiful, crystal-clear water to exploring hidden spots you would never find on your own, every part of the day felt like an adventure.What really made the experience exceptional was our guide. He was incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area.The entire day had such a local, off-the-beaten-path feel, which is exactly what we were hoping for. We never felt rushed, and every stop felt unique and special.This was easily one of the highlights of our trip and truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I would recommend this tour without hesitation to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta who wants an authentic adventure and memories they’ll never forget.

Wild Dolphin Encounter & Snorkeling Adventure
Alyssa_F, Jul 2026
This is the experience of a lifetime
Maggie our guide and expert was so knowledgeable about the dolphins in the bay. This was an unforgettable experience. You can’t predict if dolphins will be there or will want to play that day. They are wild and have big personalities. Maggie worked so hard to make this experience happen, we got in the water a few times and the dolphins weren’t interested. Then when all hope was lost a male dolphin came to us and we got in with him. Being in the water with dolphins was a lifelong dream so this was incredible. If you want to experience wild dolphins this is the place to do it. Maggie knows what she is doing. Our boat operator Martin was also excellent and always got us so close to the dolphins to make the interaction possible. Thank you both for a magical trip.
