Lots of Adventures & Sparkling Beaches
Great experience with many things to do. Cliff Diving, snorkeling, and the boat took us to two beaches where theres fools gold in the sand and water so the water literally sparkles ✨️ We went to another beach to eat. The restaurant had showers to wash up after being in the water. Our guide Kevin was great, encouraging everyone to try something new and really made it a fantastic experience.

Highly recommend ECOTOURS Vallarta! They are so professional and welcoming and they made our day in Puerto Vallarta special. Noriela in the office helped us with scheduling, communicated very well, and did a wonderful job to accommodate us. Without her, we wouldn’t be able to make it to the tour.Micheal, our guide, and Martin, the captain were both knowledgeable and friendly. We had an educational session to learn about the marine animals, then sailed out to see several dolphins, and lastly had a snorkeling tour in one of the snorkeling spot. We didn’t swim with dolphins because the dolphins were speeding around and weren’t in the behavior where we can swim around them. The snorkeling spot was safe, had a lot of fishes, although the visibility today was limited.The dive shop was clean and organized. We’d recommend them as they are absolutely professional in this area:)

Sunset and Bioluminescence Boat Tour at Los Arcos Islands

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!

Sun Buggy Tours Puerto Vallarta
Rangemgr, Sep 2026
Excellent tour, Highly Recommend
We had a great time on this tour. The Sun Buggy is a cute vehicle. It was much easier to view the surroundings than in a tour van or bus. Chistian was an excellent guide and his 2 employees certainly helped. At each stop they would move the cars around so we were ready to head to the next location.We really enjoyed going to the Botanical Garden. We love seeing (what for us are house plants) the tropical plants growing where they should. Seei ng Los Arcos from the road and then up close on a boat was fun. The tequila tasting is always interesting. Lunch was excellent.We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour.

Fue muy divertido conocer la maravilla de Sierra Madre y la cultura que vive dentro de ella. Gracias a nuestro guía HERMAN y a nuestra fotógrafa Beverly por el paseo. A todos los turistas de Vallarta no se pierdan de este gran paseo en el selva!It was such a fun, awesome experience to off road within the Sierra Madre and see how the culture thrives within. Big shout out to Herman and our profesional photographer for showing us the jungle of Puerto Vallarta. Truly beautiful experience. For those visiting first time puerto Vallarta and to see what’s outside of the city, I truly recommend Dirty Monkey Adventures!!!

All good. Bernardo met us on time. We happened to be the only 2. Other times over the years companies have cancelled due small group. Kudos to follow through. Bernardo interacted like family with almost all of the restaurant workers. The food was splendid, a drink of savory fruit drink stop as well as dessert. Not only learned some new sauce options but plenty of History and architecture was a big part of the conversation. Definitely worth your time

We had such an amazing time on our boat trip in Puerto Vallarta! 🌊☀️ Everything was perfect from start to finish, and the experience was even better because of the incredible crew.A huge shoutout to Cesar and Antonio! They were so friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone was having a great time. They went above and beyond to make the day fun, comfortable, and memorable. You can really tell they love what they do and genuinely care about their guests.The views were beautiful, the atmosphere was so much fun, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. If you’re visiting Puerto Vallarta, I 100% recommend booking this boat trip — and if you get Cesar and Antonio as your crew, you’re in for an amazing time! 🥂🌴🛥️Thank you guys for making our trip so special!

This is my third tour with Vallarta Food Tours and it gets better each time! The Vallarta by Road tour was fantastic. My cruise ship was finally there on a day they offered it and I jumped at the chance to do it. The places we went were absolutely amazing and delicious. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. I can't wait to be back and take another tour!

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!🩵🐬
