You should go ride a horse!
This was so much fun! I haven’t ridden a horse in 30 years, but I felt very safe and supported, and it was a really good experience. The horses were gentle and healthy — not at all dispirited like you see at some tours. Our guide Saul was wonderful — funny and friendly and really good at taking pics for us! The food was delicious, and the tequila tasting was top-notch.

Boat ride with Eric and Chema to Yelapa
The boat ride with Captain Eric and Chema thank you, it was absolutely fabulous! I think I took a boat ride with them two years ago, and they were they were great that trip as well. I read all the reviews first and they had the best ones, and all the reviews were right. Definitely come on their boat the Mona Lisa with them!

great!
Martin was such a vibe and obviously well trained with the horses! our tequila guy was amazing with the information he provided, you can tell he loves his job. the food was great & learning how to make our own salsa was fun!! thank youuu. now the only i wished was different was maybe spending like 5 minutes with the horse we rode lol i think it’s important to build that relationship.. i do understand that cuts into time but as a horse owner i know that relationship and trust is important.

Vallarta Botanical Garden and Tequila Tasting from Puerto Vallarta

Great experience overall
Included very nice hike(optional), moderate difficulty for average person. Trails were slippery but very clearly marked. Garden was extremely beautiful. Guide was amazing, photographer very good. Tequila was very good, a little pricerier than expected for the optional purchase. Lunch was delicious but if not choosing the lunch included menu be aware you will be forced to get food at the same restaurant(pretty pricy as well compared to other restaurants in town) due to remote location.

Dolphin Dreams Come True🐬

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!🩵🐬

An experience of a lifetime!!
What am absolutely INCREDIBLE experience! We got to see a momma turtle lay eggs and rescue the eggs - so beautiful to witness and feels great knowing we could help! Eddie was SUCH a great person and taught us so much. He's a friend for life now.I can't recommend this experience more! And if you decide to do the baby turtle release instead/ in addition, make sure to book it with the turtle camp directly (not another tour company) as that's how the organizing raises funds to do this vital rescue work!

Turtle-y worth it
Like someone else said— don’t let the late night booking scare you. You will be well taken care of and feel safe, especially with Eduardo. We didn’t see the turtles at first, but then we found a nest and participated in the capture, identification, and incubation of olive Ridley sea turtle eggs. In addition, we got to see crocodiles at a safe distance from the mangrove. This was one of the best experiences I had visiting this area. It is so clear that the organization really cares about these turtles. Do it and you won’t regret

Fantastic Private Boat Day Puerto Vallarta
Chema and Arel were fantastic! It was great to get out of the city and experience the water, local town feel, and views of the area. Snorkeling in Los Arcos we saw eels, schools of fish, and coral. The town of Yalapa was wonderful. Fantastic homemade food and friendly local people. I would recommend this to anyone looking to experience more than just the big city tourism of Puerto Vallarta. They provided snorkeling gear, a cooler, and some great stories about life in PV! Being on the boat just the four of us on the water made our trip. Best empanadas the whole visit.

This is a must do!
This was one of the best tours we have done in PV. We go often and try to find a new area to explore. We had not been to the smaller beaches and decided to choose this tour. We are so glad that we did! Diego did a fantastic job and was informative about the area, jungle life and provided pointers on how to come back to the beaches. The snorkeling was some of the best if not the best I have done in PV and we have been to many beaches in the area. I would definitely do this tour again! Please note read the full description of what this tour is about. We had some people in our group complain about the hike because they were not prepared. It is not difficult but there are a couple of short spots that have a moderate climb. Thank you Diego for a great tour!
