Cliff jumping, Snorkeling & beaches. Oh My!! - What fun! Efrain and his crew took good care of us. After explaining a little history, my family enjoyed the thrill of cliff jumping. On to Los Arcos to snorkel. We became one with the massive school of fish in the area. Onward to beaches only accessible by boat. It is a great way to spend a couple of hours in the ocean.

Awesome adventure in Mismaloya! - My husband and I took the Los Arcos tour with snorkeling and optional cliff jump. It ended up being just us plus the two staff. Panchito, the captain of the boat, made sure the ride was safe, comfortable, and smooth. The boat was very clean and cold beers were provided. Our tour guide, Ivan, was very accommodating and allowed us to basically decide how much time we wanted to spend at each attraction. Throughout the tour, he told us about some of the history of Mismaloya, the arcos, and about the different wildlife that live there. I chose to do the cliff jump, and we focused our time on snorkeling vs hanging at one of the local beaches. The snorkeling conditions weren’t great because of the clarity of the water and the cold, wavy weather , but this tour operator did a perfect job making us feel welcomed and making sure we got to do what we wanted to do during the tour. We will be sure to do another tour with Mismaloya Xtreme the next time we are in PV.

Great day tour in Mismaloya with adventures and wildlife - We had a great tour with Captain Arturo and Ivan the tour guide. They took us cliff jumping which was scary at first but they were patient and helped us find the way. They took us around the 5 Arcos islands and pointed out all of the incredible wildlife along the way. We got to see pelican babies feeding, blue footed boobies, and other birds along the way. We explored a remote beach and they were accommodating with taking pictures for us and offering us drinks along the route. They even helped us flag down some friends on shore along the way. We went snorkeling and saw a ton of really cool fish! They fed them and they swam right up to us. We had a great time. Thanks again for the amazing memories from Mismaloya!!

Laid back fishing fun - If u r looking for a laid back fishing trip, bring a 12 pack of beer and catch some fish. Lots of laughs and caught fish and cooked them on the grill. Fresh and delicious.

Very nice guys and fun tours! - Arnold and Ivan were great! My friend and I did the cliff jumping, snorkeling, and hung out at the beach. They took pictures and videos for us on the cliffs and boat which are nice to have for the memories. Later in the week, we also went to do a surf lesson with Arnold and his brother Ricardo over in Quimixto and had lunch at Animas beach. They were good teachers and kept encouraging us to try again. Would definitely use Mismaloya Xtreme again in the future!
