Twice In A Month

Published on Nov, 2024

Second time in 10 days took the tour and had a ball again. Great crew, food and drinks. Would highly recommend this tour.

You’ll Love This Half Day Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Wonderful time from start to finish. We had fun with the staff and water activities. Food and drinks were abundant and very good. Will be doing this tour in the next couple of weeks with different folks.

So Much Fun!

Published on Aug, 2024

This was so much fun! My husband and I went on a half-day snorkeling tour and we didn't snorkel but we had the best time. There was plenty of room on the boat to be comfortable and move around (for this cruise to Los Arcos, they limited the number of people to far less than the boat capacity) We cruised out to Los Arcos, taking in the beautiful views of the PV coastline. The crew was so friendly and attentive. Lots of good food and drinks. We enjoyed watching others jump off the second deck into the water, kayak, and SUP. Whether or not you want to snorkel, you are guaranteed a good time with this experience!

Peaceful relaxing and fun

Published on Jul, 2024

The view of the open ocean and the swimming was fun and relaxing the crew made the trip fun. Would like to do it again

Great 4 Hour Snorkeling Tour

Published on Jul, 2024

Highly recommended tour. We did the half day 4 hour tour. Staff was very friendly and the boat was amazing. You motor out to downtown area for great views and pictures. You then go to Los Arcos for snorkeling through a cave. You end with anchoring in a cove where you can swim, paddle board, kayak etc.. lunch was actually really good and open bar!
