My Sister's Birthday Trip
New York City
3 hours private snorkeling tour in Misaloya, Puerto Vallarta
rosief600, Sep 2026
My Sister's Birthday Trip
Pablo, our tour guide, and Ricardo, our captain, were fantastic. They made my sister's birthday extra special by capturing amazing moments throughout the trip, including beautiful sunsets, rainbows, and lots of laughter. The bioluminescent snorkeling experience wasn't something we originally planned to do, but Pablo made us feel comfortable and confident enough to give it a try. Whether you decide to get in the water or just enjoy from the boat, be prepared to get wet. Definitely wear something you don't mind getting completely soaked. Highly recommend this experience!

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.

“Unforgettable Private Boat Adventure to Yelapa with Incredible Snorkeling”
What an amazing adventure we had on this private boat trip from Puerto Vallarta to Yelapa aboard the Leylanny! Victor, our captain and guide, truly went above and beyond—making sure we were comfortable, well taken care of, and fully immersed in the beauty of his hometown.The snorkeling was incredible. We saw so many varieties of marine life, including puffer fish, angelfish, eels, and countless other colorful fish I couldn’t even name. It felt like swimming in an aquarium.I highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting the area. It was absolutely worth the price and exceeded our expectations in every way. You won’t be disappointed!

Private Wild Dolphin Encounter in Puerto Vallarta

Swimming with Wild Dolphins
If you are visiting Puerto Vallarta, book this tour. It was an amazing experience.My husband, teenage son and I went out for a morning private tour with Talia and Captain Angel. Thalia’s connection with the wild dolphins is incredible — she has known them for many years, understands their behavior, and clearly cares deeply about them. The dolphins know her too! Her passion made the experience even more meaningful.Multiple times, we were able to get into the water while the dolphins swam all around us. It was amazing. The boat was very nice - comfortable, plenty of shade and even a bathroom on board. Thalia brought snacks, sandwiches and water for us.It was a beautiful and unforgettable morning on the bay - I HIGHLY recommend this experience. Whether you are in Puerto Vallarta for a week or just visiting on a cruise, this tour is absolutely worth it.

It was wonderful to be in a private boat with Luis, our excellent driver/guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and knew just where to find the whales and dolphins. The Amelia Ii had a cover and we were grateful not to be under the hot sun for 3 hours.

Amazing experience!
We went on a whale watching tour with Grimar Adventures recently from Punta Mita and it was incredible. Seeing whales is obviously a bit of luck but our guides did an amazing job spotting whales from a distance and getting us closer to them. They were super knowledgeable and answered tons of questions we had. We got super lucky near the end of the tour and spotted a female, male, and baby all together jumping and splashing their fins and tails. It was incredible. A once in a lifetime sight. See the attached pics.I would definitely ride out with Grimar again. Highly recommended.

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.

Private Tour 3 Hours of Whale Watching
Lisa_H, Jan 2026
Fun day with whales
We did this private whale watching excursion while in Puerto Vallarta as part of a cruise stop. I want to be clear that through no fault of the tour operator, the walk from the cruise port to the meeting point was pretty brutal — busy sidewalk, lots of traffic, and longer than expected. We walked there and back, and in hindsight, a short cab ride would have been the way to go. We did end up waiting a bit longer than planned for pickup, but once we were on the boat and headed out, it was absolutely worth it. It was a short ride before we started seeing whales, and we saw quite a few. We were able to get some really great photos, which made the whole experience even better. The whales we saw were fin whales, which I had never seen before, so that alone made the excursion really special for me. Overall, despite a few logistical hiccups, we truly enjoyed our day and were really glad we did this experience.
