The vibe was amazing! I also think the food was pretty okay! The open bar was nice! Overall I would do it again with friends or family!

Great Time!

Published on Mar, 2024

I went on this trip with one of my best friends. The hospitality of the boat crew was fantastic. Every crew member was kind, funny, and outgoing. The ride there was really fun. They bring around cocktails and/or beer for you. The male crew members will definitely go out of there way to get you laughing and having a blast if you're female and it's your birthday! Those latin men sure know how to dance! There are two options after the snorkeling. You can either stay on the beach and enjoy the water and sun, or go to the waterfall. We chose to stay on the beach. The beach itself is beautiful, but do expect there to be a lot of people. Once at the beach you can choose to parasail or ride horses to get a better view of the beach and ocean. Both are nice experiences. Bring extra money because these are extra services. They are well priced however. But, I recommend them because you will be on the beach for a few hours. The snorkeling is brief, and so if you are looking for several hours in the water and seeing fish is your main goal, it might be better to book a more eco type of tour. But honestly, this trip was so fun, and the boat ride, the beach, the beach activities, were all so much fun! You also can't ask for nicer people. Also, I think try for a non weekend day with better weather and you will have even better luck than we did. We saw fish, but we were there on a high wave day with a little overcast. Chuy, Hector, and Jorge were wonderful crew! Thanks again Grupo Naviero!

A fun activity in Puerto Vallarta!

Published on Apr, 2023

We enjoyed ourselves! The best part was the workers and the hospitality! We got to the dock around 9:15. Right when you get there they take a photo of you with the dancers and we ended up getting the photo because it was literally 5$. It’s a cute little memory and a professional photo! Then you walk in and you are AUTOMATICALLY approached by people wanting you to buy things so I suggest saying no thank you and walking in you make a LEFT on the FIRST turn and walk all the way down!! There you will see a line and they will ask you which boat tour you are going on. (It’ll say on your reservation) We got stuck with one of the guys at the booths in the middle right when we walked in because he told us he was a worker part of the boat tour that was going to help us find our way but he was just trying to sell us something!!! so we needed up being at the very back of the line. So I suggest just ignoring all of them and going straight to where you need to go. After that you get in line and you have to pay some fee for land or something (not sure exactly what) but I know for 6 of us we didn’t pay much I think around 20$. & they also give you your free breakfast & lunch ticket After you pay, while in line you have to decide what free meal you want for lunch and they have like a few things to pick from. The food choices were not great but it’s free. Honestly it wasn’t bad. It’s like a regular meal. We ended up getting the chicken fajitas, quesadillas, and burgers. Then you get in line and they check your things. You’re not allowed to take I think food and drinks on the boat because those are some of the things that I saw get confiscated. Then you get on the boat! They take another photo of you before getting on the boat and we also bought that one because it was so cheap and it was a professional photo! In the boat I would suggest, if you want to be part of the party and ambiance with the crew I would suggest sitting on the lower level of the boat. If you want a more relaxing atmosphere I would suggest going to the top of the boat! They quickly start serving the breakfast right away. I will say that we underestimated how hard it was to walk on the boat!!! Because there was so many times we all almost fell!!!! Also the chairs are white plastic chairs so our chairs would move sometimes even with us sitting on them! But you get used to walking on the boat! Just be very careful!! For breakfast they offer chilaquiles with eggs and a red sauce with sour cream and cheese OR pancakes with yogurt granola and fruit! I got the chilaquiles and thought they were yummy! Again, nothing crazy. They also offer orange/pineapple juice. Then after that we made a stop to pick up a few more people at the muertos dock. After that, they start figuring out how many people want to do the snorkeling in Los Arcos. No one in my group did it honestly. So we can’t really say a lot about it. I will say it was a quick snorkel so if you’re doing this for the snorkeling I would suggest booking your own snorkeling tour because this one is very fast. This is when they opened the bar up, the drinks were good! They offer a few different drinks and the staff is SO GOOD about grabbing your empty cups and getting you more drinks if you want! Which is so helpful because then you don’t have to walk around and fall lol. They also have soda squirt water and other nonalcoholic beverages. They also have a guy that walks around and asks you what you want to do. You get to pick between going to playa las animas or going to Quimixto and doing activities there! ***So you don’t go to both places!!! you pick where you want to go****I think quimixto had a horseback thing to the waterfall but we didn’t want to do that and the waterfall didn’t have water. We just wanted to hangout on the beach. So we told him just beach and went to playa las animas. On the beach, they have parasailing, massage, jet skis, banana boat, and so many other things you can do. You have to get on a small boat and they transfer you to the beach. The beach is beautiful!!!!!! Once there you can either sit on a table OR you can pay 300 pesos per person (spent on food and drinks not an extra fee) to get beach chairs and umbrellas. We went with this choice! They don’t feed you the free lunch meal until like 3:30pm because I think they want you to spend on snacks and drinks at the restaurant. So just fyi!! We didn’t mind honestly. We got chips and drinks! And everything was delicious! By the time they asked us if we wanted to eat anything we were full but they let you take the free lunch to go! The activities we did was the parasailing! It was 700 pesos per person which was cheap because we also went to yelapa and they were charging 1500 pesos per person so if you want to do that I would suggest doing it here! We didn’t do the jet skis but I believe it was 800 for 2 people? Don’t quote me but it was also cheap compared to other quotes we got on main beach and yelapa!! We got huddled back on the dock around 4:30pm and on the way back it was still open bar! The lower level was dancing and the workers did like a funny dance competition on the people celebrating birthdays!! They even gave a lady a strip dance! It was hilarious and so entertaining. They also got a lot of the people up to dance! This was prob one of my fav parts! They did the caballo dorado (the slow and fast version) it was so fun! At the end they bring out all the workers and you clap for everyone and they go around asking for tips! We tipped them really good cause we felt like they did a great job at attending to all of our needs! You get back to the dock around 6/6:30 If you plan on doing this def don’t plan anything else! I knew this would be an all day thing! Overall, my family loved it! And it was one of their fav activities we did on the trip! It’s not a boujee boat. It’s very simple and nothing fancy but the workers and atmosphere made it very well worth it! It was just so fun!!

Great time with great people!
