Islas Marietas & BBQ lunch at Majahuitas

Islas Marietas & BBQ lunch at Majahuitas - Dock-free stops and the 7-hour schedule you should expect

1.Islas Marietas & BBQ lunch at Majahuitas

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,130 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $99Our pick

Islas Marietas and Majahuitas beach day: dolphins, snorkeling, kayaking or SUP, plus BBQ lunch and drinks from Puerto Vallarta.

“90% plus of the time is on a boat with very little time for snorkeling (maybe 30 minutes tops) and you will need to be very fast if you are going to do any kayaking or paddle boarding. The time spent doing activities feels very rushed. However, there is good service for drinks and the lunch is excellent and the location for lunch is great. However I would not recommend this tour. Perhaps if we went to two locations rather then three it would have felt less rushed with more time for activities.”

Horseback Riding & Swim: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas - Mascota River Riding: When You Get Water, You Should Say Yes

3.Horseback Riding & Swim: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 230 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $113

Horseback ride near Puerto Vallarta with possible horse swim, then tequila tasting, salsa-making, and BBQ with unlimited margaritas.

“We booked this excursion to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary and were very excited for the horseback riding experience, especially since the description promised: ‘Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the countryside and its beauty by riding along the Mascota River.’ While the horses were gentle and well cared for, almost everything else fell short. A day before, we were asked to move our reservation to Sunday because we were the only ones booked for Saturday. Since we had an early flight, Sunday wasn’t possible, so they agreed to keep Saturday. At the departure point, we were unexpectedly picked up by an Uber, and the scenery during the ride was…”

4.Sea Safari & Beach BBQ at secluded Pizota jungle beach

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 138 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $169

Speedboat to Yelapa, waterfall and Pizota jungle beach with horseback riding, snorkeling options, and a BBQ buffet plus open bar.

“Be prepared for two things with Vallarta adventures: they are adventures so no drinks with umbrellas served by waiters on verandas, and they can be shore excursions for cruise ships so they do things like clockwork. We liked both. The bay is calm so the boat ride is part of the adventure. Instructions are clear. When we got to the first stop our snorkel gear was at our feet, quick briefing, into the water and plenty of fish being fed from the boat. 30 minutes, towels for all, off to the fishing village. Isolated and accessible only by sea, this community cares for itself and lives well. The sea and…”
