Excellent day out on the water! - Felix and his son were fabulous tour guides for our day out on the water, paddling to Los Arcos and snorkeling in the protected marine area. What an experience! They told us about the area and set us up with everything we needed to have a great snorkel. We were a small group, just my husband and I. Overall, fantastic day and would highly, highly recommend taking this tour with Felix if you’re up for a different experience / paddle adventure (and some exercise!). This does take a general level of fitness to paddle out but don’t let that deter you!

Really good excursion - Felix and Carmen were so accommodating to us! I was with other solo travellers and we’ve never been on a paddle before, he taught us everything we need to know before getting up the board, what to do and not, and when we got to the islands he showed us the best spot to snorkel. You can also go diving if you want and there will be better visibility and you will see the great aquatic life! Would recommend and I’m really glad I took this trip

Amazing experience! - Highly recommend. The water was the ONLY blue water I experienced in puerto Vallarta during the rainy seasons (run off from the jungle lakes).. the paddle boarding was so tranquil and the guide explained clearly to 8 in our group how to do it super efficiently! Snorkeling was great also and the views were so amazing! Loved it and would def go it again!

Fun snorkeling trip - The tour operator was so friendly and accommodating. The snorkeling experience started at a beautiful beach in Mismaloya then we paddle boarded to the rocks. Once we were there we snorkeled and saw Tropical fish, puffer fish, octopus, and a sting ray. Then the driver dropped us off by our hotel which was very nice of him to do!

A great experience for PV! - Felix and his son made this such a wonderful experience. It was just my friend and I, and they drove us up to what seemed like where the locals spot. We paddled out to these caves and the water wasn’t too crazy and it was overcast and good weather. Then he gave us snorkeling equipment and we snorkeled with them for about 45min and saw so a lot of fish and birds. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta. A perfect time.

Safe, fun experience! - Felix and his son are very professional and responsible for our small group: just my husband and I. He picked up/dropped off as close as possible from our BnB.
It’s a short 15 minutes drive from Romantic Zone.
Felix gave us safety instructions before the paddle boarding. He provided water and granola bars when we got to Los Arcos N.P. We felt safe and it was fun! The whole trip last about 3 tours from pick up to drop off. We would recommend anyone to do it! :)

Definitely Recommend! Very chill with an awesome tour guide! - This was an awesome experience. Felix was very kind and knowledgeable guide. We paddleboarded from the beach to Los Arcos then snorkeled around the area. The whole experience was very fun and relaxing and we got to see some cool birds and sea animals. I highly recommend
