Puerto Vallarta Private Tacos and Tequila Experience
Exploration659355, Aug 2026
Great experience, so friendly!
This was so lovely, would definitely recommend. The taco places, especially the first one, Rosa’s, were great. Our guide Andres was so friendly and knowledgeable, we used him for airport pickup as well. He spoke on our behalf when necessary, which was helpful since our Spanish isn’t great. He even made an extra stop for us to try something new! Great experience and would definitely use them again in the future!

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.

“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!

Swimming with Wild Dolphins

Private Wild Dolphin Encounter in Puerto Vallarta
maggielE6846UQ, Apr 2026
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.

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.

City tour.
We took a private city tour for 6 hours. The experience was awesome. $400 USD. Best for 2 people. When booking, ask for Miguel. He spoke fluent English. He was awesome! He took us to the boardwalk, the church, chocolate factory, small shops, tequila factory, the arches and a small family restaurant in the mountains. He went out of his way to find us a small shop so we could find some bracelets.

Highlight of our week!
Thalia is incredibly knowledgeable. We learned a great deal about dolphins and whales. Capt. Angel got us out into the bay where we found the dolphins and got to jump in the water where they were swimming. Amazing! This was the highlight of the trip! The turkey sandwiches on the boat—best Thanksgiving we could ask for. Definitely recommend this tour.
