A wonderful snorkelling tour!
I enjoyed this tour immensely. We met at the Mismaloya Xtreme office in Puerto Vallarta, which was very close to and convenient for us staying in the Zona Romantica. A shuttle driver drove us to Mismaloya, where we went on a boat and snorkelled around the beautiful small, boulder islands. It was so magical snorkelling through the tunnels and around the islands. The guides gave us some information about the unique bird species living on the islands. The number of brightly colouredfish was astounding. Later, they brought us to a small beach where we had another chance to snorkel. I declined to do the cliff jumping at the beginning, but most of our group did it and enjoyed it. The guides were professional friendly, and knowledgeable. Don’t hesitate to book this tour for a fun day on the water with magnificent snorkelling.

Puerto Vallarta: Tropical Fish Snorkeling and Zipline Tour

Truly incredible tour
What an incredible experience - honestly the best value for money you could possibly get. Because there were only two of us, it was essentially a private tour. Arturo was a brilliant tour guide, very friendly and took it at the pace we wanted to go at. We never felt rushed at any location, and were truly able to enjoy the experience. There was a perfect amount of time at each stop. The beaches are so gorgeous - truly stunning - and the stop for snorkelling is so serene - pure bliss . You really get to enjoy the scenery from the boat taxis - they were a great experience in themselves! The ziplining was also so much fun. The restaurant recommendation was very delicious, probably the tastiest and freshest fish I've ever had. Thank you very much to Arturo and the team for such an amazing tour!!!

Excellent experience with low-medium physical requirements. Our guide, Rocco, was thorough, friendly, and knowledgeable & contributed to a great experience overall.15-20 min hike including rock maneuvering and walking in water before reaching the waterfall (not too difficult). Additional waterfall hike is offered during initial swim for those wanting more of a challenge.

Decently organized. They get you out of the city streets safely and up to the mountains. The tequila tasting was good and in a nice spot. Luckily the waterfall was running and we got to take a dip in it at the 2nd stop, where we had some great shrimp tacos. The RZR was in decent shape. Don’t expect to get too much of an offroad thrilling experience. About half of the trip is either paved or cobblestone and the dirt roads are pretty well maintained.

Fun trip to Tres Marietas and Hidden Beach
We loved our private adventure with Oceanus to Tres Marietas. Eduardo was our primary contact. He agreed to pick us (husband, wife, 10 year old son) up from our local hotel and drive us to the pier. Upon arrival, Eduardo gave my son and I a 30 minute surfing lesson and included boogie boards as well on the gentle waves next to the pier. Then, he introduced use to Tomas, our personal guide, and our boat captain. We were taken on a 25-30 foot boat out to Hidden Beach first. I thought we would be part of a small group, but it ended up being a private tour! Tomas secured our phone/camera in a waterproof container and led us under the tunnel to Hidden Beach! We spent 30 minutes or so in the beach area and Tomas took wonderful photographs of our family from several angles that he knew would be great. He answered all of my son's questions patiently. We swam back and toured the islands from the boat, seeing other landmarks and observing lots of wildlife. Then, we snorkeled at Skull Rock with many colorful fish and visited another beach on a neighboring island. All in all, it was about 3 hours on the adventure. Upon our return, Eduardo had prepared a delicious shrimp ceviche for my wife and I and had purchased a special quesadilla for my picky eating son, which we ate on a beach adjacent to the pier. Eduardo offered additional surfing time before safely driving us back to our resort. I thought it was an excellent value and a lot of fun for $700USD, inclusive of gratuity. I think it would be a great trip for families of up to 8-10 people or couples wanting a romantic adventure together. I highly recommend Oceanus, Eduardo, and Tomas in Punta Mita.

Private SAFARI to Marietas Islands including Hidden Beach & Surf

Our trip to Hidden Beach and the Marietas Islands with Oceanus was absolutely fantastic and one of the highlights of our holiday.From the moment we boarded, the crew were friendly, professional, and made everyone feel welcome. The boat was comfortable, well-organised, and the atmosphere was fun throughout the journey.The visit to Hidden Beach was truly unforgettable. Seeing this incredible natural wonder in person was breathtaking, and swimming through to the secluded beach was an amazing experience. The beauty of the Marietas Islands and the surrounding crystal-clear waters was simply stunning.The guides were knowledgeable and safety-conscious while also ensuring everyone had a great time. We appreciated the information they shared about the islands, marine life, and conservation efforts in the area.We finished off on our return to the port with a lovely shrimp dish cooked by one of the guides, Eduardo, sitting on the beautiful beach drinking a cold beer.Everything was exceptionally well organised, from check-in to the return trip. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and it was clear that Oceanus takes great pride in providing a first-class excursion.We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta. If you’re looking for spectacular scenery, adventure, excellent service, and memories that will last a lifetime, this trip is a must-do.

Fun Horseback Tour in Mismaloya

100% Recommended
100% recommend! My recommendations for the tour and clothing are at the end! This experience was amazing from start to finish! The communication and customer service were excellent, they responded to my questions within minutes. I mainly wanted to make sure getting there and back with Uber/rideshare would be easy and it is.For anyone booking, I definitely recommend using Barceló Puerto Vallarta as your drop off/pick up location for Uber or rideshare. From there, you can communicate with the tour staff easily, and they may already be there waiting for you.The horseback riding tour itself was beautiful and beginner friendly, no matter your riding experience level. Plus they will give you a lesson in the begging before starting. I had such a great time. The scenery was gorgeous, and the guides made the entire experience feel comfortable and fun.One of my favorite parts was the restaurant stop. The food was really good, the drinks were delicious (I had two margaritas!), and the outdoor area was beautiful. We actually got into the water near the restaurant before our food came out, then relaxed, ate, air dried, and got right back on the horses. We didn’t even need towels.A few tips for future guests: • Bring cash if possible because cards are about 5% more. • The restaurant food and drinks are definitely worth it. • If wearing pants, wear lightweight breathable/waterproof pants. • Shorts are completely fine too, I wore cargo shorts, but avoid very short shorts because the ride could become uncomfortable. If you wear shorts, make sure you put mosquito spray on, but if you do forget they do have some for you
