Perfect get away

Published on Nov, 2024

Best way to see Puerto Vallarta in a relaxed and chill way. Perfect day trip to be enjoyed with family or friends.

Well worth the money!

Published on Feb, 2024

Our Captain and BartenderDJ were amazing! The water was a little to choppy to snorkel but that gave us more time to follow a family of whales a couple miles down the coast and that was awesome! The beach was really beautiful, the water felt great. The restaurant had good food and great drinks!

Excellent tour. Crew was...

Published on Jan, 2024

Excellent tour. Crew was great. Loved the beach. Restaurant they recommended was fantastic. Absolutely recommend.

Fun Day Out

Published on Jul, 2023

We were visiting for the day from our cruise ship. Fernando & Mixton created a great outing for our group of 6. We enjoyed touring the Puerto Vallarta shoreline, learning a little history about the area, snorkeling in Los Arcos (we even got to see a sea turtle), and relaxing for a few hours on a quiet beach. Thanks for a great day out! Highly recommend

Boat tour

Published on Jun, 2023

Fernando and Mixon did a wonderful job showing us around the shoreline. We got some good snorkeling in and had a fabulous lunch at Las Animas. There were not many people on the beach when we first got there. The service at the restaurant was great!
