So Much Fun! - 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!

Great 4 Hour Snorkeling Tour - 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!

I love it! - This was such a fun excursion! The whole crew on the boat was friendly and thorough. The snorkeling felt like it was so short, but I expected that from the description of the tour. My favorite part was 'parking' the boat and having a little ocean float time with paddle boards, lily pad, and kayaks. The food and drinks were delicious!! I'm so glad we chose this tour, I would definitely do it again :)

Fun in the Sun - What an amazing experience! Mike’s crew was respectful, attentive, and professional. This was day jam-packed full of fun on the water. Snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle boarding was wonderful. This is also a great value for the money getting breakfast, lunch, and an open bar. Will definitely be back!!

Fun day - Although there are some mixed reviews on here we had a great time. We were a group in our 20s. The boat took us along the coast first which had some great views of Puerto Vallarta. This was a great way to see the town. We quickly pulled into Los Arcos with gear on ready to jump in the water. My only complaint is I wish there wa more time to take pics right in front because if you're snorkeling you have to get right in. I know there are probably reasons for this with regulations but more time to take pics before snorkeling would have been lovely. If you want good pics work fast before you have to get in! Only bummer is that we really only snorkeled for about 20 min. We did see some fish but knew there wouldn't be much so we didn't have high expectations. We then went about 10 min away from Los Arcos and they served lunch and you could get into the water for about an hour. There wasn't a ton of people on our ride so it was easy to use the toys they had. After we headed back to the ports and they played some games to keep the spirits up. Tips: Be prepared with some cash to get on the boat for the port fee (Puerto Mgico which looks like a mall). We only had to pay $32 MXN per person. You pay and then go through a quick security. Our tour left at 10 AM. It was a little confusing to find the tour so be sure to ask someone and they will guide you to an open patio in the middle of the mall where the group is (tiny stand). We received a message the day before what time and what to expect. They do rent towels on the boat if you need one, but we dred off quickly on our own. Our ride had some breakfast items along with lunch and an open bar. Nothing too special but in my opinion you're there for the ride anyways. It was about 4 hours for everything. Overall would recommend and don't forget to tip!

Great day on the water to Los Arcos - Would highly recommend this trip to Los Arcos! Great opportunity to scuba, as well as swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and some fun dives from the second level of the boat. Panda & the crew went above & beyond and were terrific with our kids. Lunch was yummy and service at the bar was excellent. Of note, this was about a six hour round-trip, leaving from Nueva Vallarta. Shorter for passengers departing from Puerto Vallarta.

Unsafe, extremely dangerous, unsanitary, unprofessional and unprepared - I’m going to spare the details so as to not sound like a Karen. I’ve snorkeled Los Arcos before and thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful, relaxing time. Stay far away from Mikes Fishing.
