Perfect for Los Arcos
Perfect strike mission to Los Arcos. As an experienced free diver, I considered attempting the trip on my own but the guides were knowledgeable of the regulations I was not privy to. Taking a boat was likely quicker and more convenient. The guides created a positive atmosphere and allowed all swim skill levels to enjoy the snorkel. One suggestions, either bring mask anti-fog or bring your own mask. I was glad I brought my trusty mask and I saw others’ fog up. I saw several new fish to me and visibility was great.

Affordable, friendly & fun tour with memorable experiences
If you want to swim or snorkel in deep, blue crystal waters off of Marietas Islands and enjoy the magic of Majahuitas beach club with lunch in the same day, then book this tour. The price is affordable for an all day excursion (8am to 3:30pm). The tour guide, Felipe, and crew - Kevin, Francesco, Alex, and Fernando - were friendly, extremely attentive and knowledgeable, and fun. Our tour was in English and Spanish. The swimming at Marietas was great! Between the swimming/snorkeling at Marietas and lunch/beach time, they provided refreshments, including an open bar. The staff at Majahuitas also made a delicious lunch with cold drinks. On the boat ride back, Felipe and his crew surprised us with a show-lots of singing and dancing. There were lots of cold drinks and music on our return trip to the port. Overall, this was a fantastic way to experience Puerto Vallarta!

Great experience in puerto vallarta
We had an amazing experience with Miguel as our tour guide in Puerto Vallarta! He spent the entire day showing my family and me the very best the area has to offer. From taking us to beautiful beaches to giving us a great tour around town, every stop was enjoyable and well planned.Miguel was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made us feel welcome from the moment we met him. He shared interesting local history, recommended great places to visit, and made sure everyone in our family had a fantastic time. His professionalism and genuine passion for Puerto Vallarta made the experience even more memorable.If you're visiting Puerto Vallarta and want a fun, stress-free, and unforgettable tour, I highly recommend Miguel. Thank you for making our family trip so special—we'll definitely book with you again!

The tour was lots of fun, the crew was amazing very attentive, always checking in on each guest making sure we had what we needed. It was amazing to see all of them work together to provide us with an amazing experience. The only issue I had and almost caused us to miss the tour, they were unable to find our reservation even though I had my confirmation. I purchased my tour through visitor, the tour was with Vallarta Adventures. Not sure who the issue was with.

Beautiful Scenery, Wonderful Guide, and a Charming Town
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the highlights of our Puerto Vallarta vacation!We had a wonderful day trip to San Sebastián del Oeste and highly recommend this experience.Pepe arranged for Enrique, a friendly and knowledgeable third-generation guide, who made the day especially memorable. The drive through the lush green mountains was beautiful, and one of our first stops even included a parrot greeting us with “¡Hola!”—a moment that had us laughing.Before reaching San Sebastián, we visited a tequila distillery and enjoyed learning about the process. We even brought home a few travel-sized bottles to remember our trip.San Sebastián itself was charming and authentic. We loved exploring the town, enjoyed delicious flautas con pollo at Lupita’s, sampled local coffee with chocolate and cinnamon notes, and purchased a beautiful handmade pottery mug from Quinta Mary’s.What stood out most was how personal and relaxed the experience felt. We never felt rushed, and the combination of scenery, history, food, and hospitality made this one of the highlights of our 16-day stay in Puerto Vallarta.Thank you, Enrique, for such a memorable day. Highly recommended!

“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!

An Unforgettable Family Adventure – Cliff Jumping, Waterfalls & Jungle Magic
We did this hike on El Polvorín with our family of five (two adults and three kids), and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Puerto Vallarta.We started the tour at the Botanical Gardens, which were absolutely beautiful. The setting alone is worth the visit—lush, peaceful, and full of incredible plant life. We visited the church and then hiked down to the river, which was a great way to kick things off. As we walked through the gardens, we even spotted a peacock and other wildlife, which the kids loved.Next, we stopped at Chico’s Paradise for a snack, and this was such a fun experience. Watching the cliff jumpers was amazing—they were doing some seriously impressive jumps, and it added a lot of excitement to the stop.From there, we continued on to El Polvorín, where the real adventure began. After a short hike, we got to spend time cliff jumping, and this was the absolute highlight for our kids. They had an incredible time and didn’t want to leave.We wrapped up the tour with a swim out to the waterfalls, which was the perfect ending to an already amazing day.If you’re looking for a fun, active, and memorable experience for the whole family, this is it. Highly recommend!

We had a full day including a stop at a bakery, a chocolate maker, a coffee farm, a peanut brittle maker and a tequila distillery as well as walking through the quaint town of San Sebastian and hitting a few stores. The scenery in the mountains is stunning with all the blue agave fields.
