Excellent Snorkeling Adventure - We took the Luxury Snorkeling Cruise with Vallarta Adventures. The trip was extremely well organized starting with a trip across the bay to a fun little snorkeling area on the southern bay coast. Drinks were generous and little delicious snacks were included during the morning cruise. Colorful fish were in abundance and the snorkeling was fun for all. Following the snorkeling, we traveled to Malahuitas beach for cocktails and relaxation. The water was a bit challenging in getting to the beach but the staff handled it wonderfully to keep everyone safe in the transfer. Felipe was the trip captain and did a great job in handling everything from boating to eating to entertaining. We appreciated how very professional he was. There was fantastic food served on the return trip with cocktails aplenty. The entire crew was excellent making sure that all the guests were well taken care of. What we liked is that the number of tourist travelers was small which kept the sailing much more intimate and focused on guest enjoyment. The ship itself was also fantastic. Highly recommend.

Best part of our trip! - Amazing experience! The guys make you feel like royalty, endless drinks and great service! The snorkeling was so much fun and same with the private island! They give you towels on board so you don’t have to bring your own. Would for sure do it again, 10/10!

HIGHLIGHT OF OUR VACATION!! - Absolutely FABULOUS! Danny and his team went out of their way to ensure we had a perfect day! This tour is EVERYTHING it describes and more. A beautiful trip with music, wonderful food and drinks, the best snorkel experience (schools of fish, sting ray) and free time at a different beach for water fun, tubing, banana boat etc.
On the trip home we saw several dolphins and butterflies around the boat.
There were only about twenty people on the day we went which was also perfect and a great group to travel with. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND paying a bit more and enjoying this Luxury experience!! ☀️❤️🎵🇲🇽

What a fantastic day! - We bought out the entire boat as an activity on a milestone birthday trip. The staff was attentive from the moment we arrived. The ride to the snorkeling spot was a little longer than I expected, but the snacks and drinks were lovely.
The snorkeling spot was amazing. I love that it was right at the beach where we'd be hanging out so that folks who wanted to spend a lot of time snorkeling could do that and some who didn't want to snorkel, or snorkel for a shorter time could do that. The snorkeling was some of the best i've done. Nothing compares to Galapagos, but it far outpaced both Bali and Turks and Caicos.
I was surprised and disappointed that there was no non-alcoholic beverage option at the beach. The other problem was that you needed to swim from the boat to the beach, even if you weren't snorkeling. That was a problem for one of our guests. But the beach had a great mix of seating in the sun and shade. The oversized hammock in the hidden cove was awesome!
The cherry on top of the whole thing was that when they learned it was my birthday (as we boarded), they quietly arranged for someone from their marine facility to bring a sea lion to the boat! Every guest that wanted to got kissed by the sea lion and got to hug it! They didn't charge us extra for this and it really made our day! My cheeks hurt from smiling!
They weren't great about changing up the menu for guests with food sensitivities, even though we had bought out the whole boat at about half capacity. They assured me it would work out and it did. So alls well that ends well.

Amazing crew and perfect boat day! - This trip was awesome! Can't say enough about our amazing crew who if memory serves was crew "V" including Angel, Sergio, and Jonny. The lunch was SO good and the pina coladas the most delicious ever! The only thing I'll say is the snorkeling was just okay – definitely saw some fish but visibility wasn't amazing and you have to swim a ways over to the rocks/reef to see anything. If you're doing this trip for the snorkeling, it wasn't the main event. Being on the boat, the food, drinks, and just hanging out was worth it, though! Also, want to note that back in the harbor someone in our group dropped her sunglasses into the water and one of the members of our crew submerged his ENTIRE TORSO IN THE WATER, REACHED UNDER THE BOAT, AND GOT THEM! Didn't even hesitate.

Go for the boat/staff/snorkel, not the beach. - The good: gorgeous boat, great snorkel, amazing staff and food!
The bad: the beach :( Maybe it was because we took the early sailing but the beach didn't have anything set up for us. We were expecting a luxury experience at the beach but it looked like they hadn't cleaned up from the night before with cig butts and dirty shot glasses in the bathrooms. The only alcohol drink option on the beach was dark beer so that was a bummer. The "VIP" area set up for us were cushions on pallets ... The rest of the beach furniture was stacked up still from the night before making it hard to get around.
Aside from the beach we had an absolute blast and the staff was incredible. We couldn't have asked for better food and snacks and our cups were never empty! Crew put on a little show at the end and we lucked out and saw a huge manta ray before docking. The weather made it a little wild getting to the beach from the boat, but the staff made it happen!
