Puerto Vallarta: the best place to be - Amazing! On the beach. Snorkeling and boat ride were great! White sand and clear water beach. The area we stayed was called the romantic zone . Great outdoor pools, safe , clean, and close to amenities, friendly and polite staff .. locals were nice to us.. we had a great time and for sure we will come back!

I strongly recommend this tour. - We had a wonderful time. The crew was amazing! We felt safe and taken care of because they were attentive. All of the activities were nicely timed out.

Fun time had by all - Fun trip overall- The meals provided were better than expected and the open bar was great along with the staff on the boat, the hike and swim to Quimixto was awesome, minus when you get there, there is a restaurant at the entrance of the waterfall pool and they expect you to buy food or drink if you want to sit, enter the pool there or leave items there while you swim. we had a great time on this tour. The snorkeling was very disapointing as we only had about 25 minutes in the water and the visibility was terrible, i'd keep that in mind if your main reason was to snorkel and see many cool things under the water, probably not going to happen. An earlier in the morning start on this tour would be nice as the water visibility would likely be better

Not worth it at all - Do not go on this excursion for the snorkling.... and if you'd like to see it's destinations it is much cheaper to take a bus to Boca then a water taxi. Also, if you do go bring lots of cash.

Vallarta Adventures had better excursions - Snorkeling was only 30 minutes. Those that didn't want to snorkel had to wait for the snorkelers to finish. I went thru the same excursion with Vallarta Adventures and they had kayaks available in the calm waters while the snorkelers were in the same patch of water. Vallarta Adventures also cruised around the islands showing the blue-footed boobies bird and coves of the area. When we docked on the beach, everyone waited for lunch, no kayaks because water was too "rough", other activities costed extra. It was basically a boat ride to a beach village, eat lunch.....I could of stayed at my resort for that.

DO NOT GO ON THIS TOUR - I would not recommend this tour. I went with my boyfriend and we were very disappointed. The snorkeling was only for maybe 15 minutes and the snorkels they provided they dont sanitize after use. While snorkeling we saw only a few fish because the water was too deep and murky. After we got back on the boat, a man had a heart attack and died because there was no staff who properly knew how to handle the situation. Once we got to Las Animas beach There was NO paddleboards or kayaks included like they advertised and they said if you went to the waterfall, there is a chance you would get left behind if you didnt make it back in time, so no one went. There were activities such as parasailing and jet skis that came at an additional cost. We had to wait 2 hours to eat a small meal. So if you were hungry you had to pay to order food and drinks. They said we would be on the beach for 2 hours but it was 3 hours. On the way back they give you lots of booze to make up for the disappointment. Every seat on the boat was occupied so there was no room to move around. The workers only spoke spanish and very broken english, so it was very hard to understand what was going on or how to properly use the toilets haha they got very gross very quickly. Las animas beach was beutiful but not having anything to do for 3 hours unless you want to pay, was not worth it. Again, i would not recommend this tour. There are plenty of other tours that would probably be way better.

Not Recommended - This was not for travelling tourists but more for locals tourists. There was a lack of communication so we weren't sure what we were doing and the staff were not very friendly/helpful when asked. Also, it's not advertised correctly. You only do 1 snorkel place for 1/2 hour then you travel for sometime on the boat to to a beach where you have to pay for your drinks. The worst part was getting from the boat to the beach via outdoor motor boat and then jump from the boat into the waves/onto the beach. Worse try to getting back on it to come back to the boat. Plus it took about an hour to overload and onload, very boring. Did not enjoy at all.

Horrible - This was the worst day of our vacation. Mis marketed big time! Steer and clear find another company. Unsafe boat also

Awful - Not any of it was memorable. The food was terrible the locations weren't great with the exception of the arches. The beach was gross and dirty and the food was extremely questionable. I guess you get what you pay for. I wouldn't recommend thia excursion to anyone.

Horrible!!!! - It's all lies. You will have neither snorkeling, nor paddleboarding, nor walking near the islands. You will simply be taken to another beach in a restaurant and forced to sit there for 3 hours. They will also offer to buy additional services there. The essence of this trip is to lead us to a place where money will be sucked out of us. (And if you want to lie on the beach, you also need to pay. You can only sit in a restaurant for free. (Buying drinks and food) And if you don't like something, they will shout at you.
