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!

An unforgettable day in paradise ✨
If you are visiting Puerto Vallarta, booking this tour with Alex is an absolute MUST! From start to finish, the entire day was pure perfection. Alex is a wonderful guide—warm, super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and simply great company to be around. He makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable right from the moment you meet. The itinerary itself is balanced so well: you get a fun hike through beautiful scenery, plenty of time to relax and swim, and fantastic spots for snorkeling (Playa Majahuitas and Quimixto are just breathtaking!). Alex knows all the best local details, facts, and hidden spots, which makes the whole experience feel personal and unique rather than just another commercial tour. It was truly a perfect day, and Alex made it so memorable. I couldn't recommend him highly enough—10/10! Thank you, Alex! ❤️

Birding with Eco Tours near Puerto Vallarta
Michael was an amazing educated guide who helped us to find rare and remarkable birds, including the Mexican hermit hummingbird. He was a trained knowledgeable about birds, Whales dolphins, and is a native of the area. This is not the exact tour we went on, but it’s the closest I could find.

Great half day Macaws and waterfall
New York City
El Nogalito Mountain River- Hiking Tour
scottbK1405MZ, Aug 2026
Great half day Macaws and waterfall
Our tour was a really special experience! We went to a macaw sanctuary and learned about conservation efforts to protect and re-populate the indigenous macaw population. We saw a total of anout 30-35 nesting birds, in pairs and family units. It was inspiring to say the least! After the macaws, we had an amazing breakfast at a tiny restaurant where we were treated like family. After breakfast we hiked a trail up along a small river. At the top we found a beautiful waterfall and lagoon, where we swam for an hour or so in the crisp clear river water. It was so refreshing! During the entire half day together, Curiel was a constant source of happy banter, interesting information about the local environment and people. Being a local, or “Pata Salada” he certainly knows his way around. I highly recommend his tours!

Mismaloya Waterfalls and Mountain Hike. Full-Day tour
Escape35873446181, Aug 2026
Not just a hike, Mismaloya is a lifetime adventure
I can’t say enough positive things about Curiel. He’s the owner of this business and currently is the only guide. We did the Mismaloya Waterfall hike on our first day of our trip and it was the highlight of my week. I went during the rainy season which I’m a fan of the jungle. Just prepare for the humidity and heat. So a lot of water and electrolytes as it’s not an easy short hike but I was well aware of that. Curiel brought snacks, electrolytes to share, took us to a small local restaurant in the mountains before a hike for some of the best birria I have ever had. The breakfast was paid for by Curiel. He took on the hike with just my wife and I with 1 day notice. So he happened to be open the day I was available and made an amazing adventure. Curiel is very knowledgeable about the plants, birds, and wildlife in general. He also has an amazing personality and is very friendly and outgoing. I will definitely only be booking with Curiel for my future hikes.

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!

Amazing experience!
Michael was AMAZING - he has such incredible knowledge of the birds and trees in the area and we had such a fabulous time spotting nearly 50 types of birds! We're fairly new to birding and this was such a special experience that has fueled us wanting to do birding more frequently. We also really appreciate that this company is truly eco friendly and ensures that nature and wildlife are protected on the types tpurs.Highly recommend this tour and EcoTours!

Turtle-y worth it

chloebQ665HI, Aug 2026
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.

Visit the Sanctuary of the Guacamayas in free life
James_M, Jun 2026
Amazing connection with nature
The Macaw (Guacamaya) sanctuary was an amazing experience. Our guide, Eduardo ((Eddie) is a biologist who is passionate about animals and the local area. He shared many local spots with us along our ride into the mountains, setting us up for even more adventures. We then climbed up a spectacular wheel drive road to the sanctuary building, where Eddie gave us an informative overview of the Macaw lifecycle, detailed the family history, nest evolution, and more than that. Plus he shared information and photos of the other wildlife on the sanctuary grounds We then went for an amazing short hike through the property where we saw more than 30-40 Macaw in trees, eating, flying, and hanging out. They had binoculars and a spotting scope to use, but I had brought my own, yet the Macaw were so close, we barely needed them. We also saw a ton of other cool flowers, and even a tarantula. It was a great experience. I highly recommend you visit!

What a brilliant experience. Curiel was a fantastic guide. He is clearly passionate about nature and where he lives in this beautiful part of the world. He is great fun and very charismatic. A really quality experience and one of our favourite days here in Puerto Vallarta. Thanks for a wonderful hike, great stories and great company!
