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! :)

SUP and snorkeling - Felix taught us to SUP and we felt very comfortable. He taught us about the many birds and fish we saw. We liked the personalized guide and the snorkeling was great! We highly recommend and would do it again.

Great excursion. - Family of 4 (15-46) paddleboarded out to Los Arcos islands from mismaloya beach. Two of us were able to stand up on boards, two of us paddled sitting. Felix and his teen kids kept everybody rounded up, good instructions and tips. Snorkled for about half hour, snorkling was fantastic, thousands of fish. The pickup/drop off right next to Buenadventura resort was perfect for us. Had a great experience, would do it again.

A fun paddle and snorkel! - We had a great time on this tour. Felix made everything easy and fun. Was overcast the morning we snorkeled, limited visibility and we still saw fish. The paddling was a blast. First time on the ocean for us river and lake paddlers. Saw pelican nests and babies. Paddling through the cave was cool. Choose this one!
