Excellent family tour
The agency that runs the tour is EXCELLENT, very attentive, the service is very, very good, the food is very delicious, the activities are super good for my children.The only and very bad experience was with Cool Puerto Vallarta as an intermediary, they did not give the correct instructions since the tour says it is for ages 6 to 90 and when we arrived they said that only children 11 years and older can enter the Marietas Islands, they also did not tell me that you have to pay 1,000 more per person to enter the hidden beach.

Chuck's 60th Birthday!!
New York City
Puerto Vallarta: Private Swim & Snorkel Yacht Tour w/Open Bar
O1810BUstevenb, Aug 2026
Chuck's 60th Birthday!!
This was my husband's and my 2nd cruise!! First the night-time cruise and then a private cruise for one of our best friend's 60th Birthday!!What A Blast We Had!! After we were on-board thia Beautiful Yacht, we were introduced to the staff, explained where everything was, and offered our first cocktail and snacks before we ever got out of the Marina.We were shown sea turtles that were frolicking above the water for a few minutes. We snorkeled in this Beautiful Inlet and also relaxed on their huge Lily Pad float. We ate lunch while we relaxed on a Beautiful Sunny Day!!They took us over to the Los Arcos Rocks and watched the numerous species of birds flying on and off these huge rocks. The Captain even positioned the boat so that we could look through the cave of the rock through to the other side. You can see these rocks while driving along Highway 200 but it is nothing compared to being up close and personal.The 3 person crew were Great!! We never had a chance to want for anything before they were bringing it to us or answering an endless list of questions about the Bay and many of the Sea Creatures which inhabit it full-time to others (Whales particularly) that only come for the Winter Season so that the females can have their Babies in the safety of the Bay and fatten them up for their return trip to Alaska.All-in-all, I would highly recommend this Cruise, the Sunset Cruise, or any others that they offer!! Already considering the Whale Watching Cruise next!!

Amazing Experience!
This was an absolutely amazing experience. We saw TONS of wales during the excursion, far more than we ever expected. Some were breaching right in front of the boat. The boat itself was a lot of fun. Great music, drinks, and a really friendly and fun staff. If you are reading this, book your trip immediately. You will love it!

Full Day Tour Isla Marietas with Meals and Open Bar
Z3237HAkarlac, Jun 2026
Beautiful day in the Marietas Islands.
From the purchase, the experience was very quick and simple. During the tour, all the members of the operator gave us a straightforward explanation of what the tour would be like. We scheduled for Marietas + Playa del Amor, and it was excellent; they provided us with breakfast, snacks, and lunch, as well as an open bar. I do not drink alcohol, but the bartender was super nice and prepared non-alcoholic drinks for me :) We had a day with high tide, and I must mention: you need to be in good physical condition to do this tour. I had never swum in open water, and although I managed to do it (and felt happy for doing so), it is very tiring! When we went to Playa del Amor, the tide almost did not allow us to pass. To enter, we had to swim under the entrance, and we became very nervous.... The staff on the boat was INCREDIBLE and helped us cross both ways. We could not be more grateful. Later, we went to Palo Verde; you can kayak, and they play music on the boat, making the trip very enjoyable. It was my birthday, and everyone was very kind; they sang 'Las Mañanitas' to me, and I had a great time. I definitely recommend it a hundred percent, considering that my whole body hurts after swimming in the sea. I forgot to mention that the boat provides snorkeling gear. There are many things you can add for an extra price; I decided not to get any, and I still had an excellent time.

PVR Boat Day Done Right 🌊☀️
Had an amazing time on our boat day in Puerto Vallarta! The boat had plenty of space for our group and could comfortably fit our group without feeling cramped. Daniel was an incredible captain — super friendly, accommodating, aesthetically pleasing and tailored the entire itinerary exactly to what we wanted instead of doing a generic tour. He really made the experience feel personalized and stress-free.Highly recommend booking with Daniel if you’re looking for a fun, smooth experience in PVR.

We did an afternoon whale watching trip and couldn’t have been happier. The boat captain stayed on the whales for over an hour. It was the best whale watching excursion we have done to date (numerous in the bay). Fantastic crew, great service.

A delightful day with Ecotours whale watching, snorkling, and visiting Yalapa.

Private Los Arcos & Colomitos Snorkeling Experience
Leon M, Feb 2026
A delightful day with Ecotours whale watching, snorkling, and visiting Yalapa.
We had a wonderful day with Ecotours Vallarta visiting Colliminas to go snorkling and then to Yalapa to explore the area and have lunch. Yalapa is a private tour so you pay for the guide and the boat captain and the boat can take around 10 people. There was just the two of us in this trip. Mike was our guide and Raphael was the boat captain. We had been with Mike in an earlier trip and he is a fantastic birder and a super nice person. He also know a lot about whales and marine life. We started out from the marina and within 15 minutes we came upon about 6 humpback whales and watched them for awhile. Raphael was careful to keep a respectable distance. They come here in the winter to have there babies and then migrate back to the west coast of United States in the warmer weather. We then snorkeled at Colliminas for half hour. The water was in the 70s and calm and we saw many types of fish. Then on to Yalapa which is nestled in a beautiful bay and very picturesque. We walked up to a beautiful waterfall that did not have a huge amount of water as it was the dry season The town has lots of restaurants along the beach and lots of things to buy in the way up to the waterfall. We then had lunch at The Marlin. My girlfriend had fish tacos and I had shrimp tacos and we shared guacamole. The food was good but not fantastic. Mike pointed out several sea going birds(turns, pelicans ) and we also spotted grackles and a beautiful Trogon. My girlfriend was delighted to hold an iguana for a photo(100 pesos). We took some nice pictures at the waterfall. We left at 9 am and returned about 3:30. It was a wonderful day to do something different as we have been in Puerto Vallarta for a month, Ecotours does a great job and Mike and captain Rapheal could not have been better. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended tour. The entire crew was friendly, attentive, and genuinely supportive throughout the experience. We were lucky enough to see whales on both rides, and the Marietas Islands eco tour was absolutely worth it. A truly memorable experience from start to finish.

This boat trip was worth every penny. Ricky (Papacito) and his crew took excellent care of us. If you want a relaxing sailboat ride along the coast, relaxing, taking in the views, with an incredible sunset, I couldn’t recommend this trip more.
