8-hour Islas Marietas tour with snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and Nopalera Beach, plus breakfast, lunch, and open bar.

“Pretty good. There weren’t a lot of fish where we snorkelled and the water was hard to see through. We enjoyed the eco tour even if it was kind of short. I wish the guide would have informed us more about the beach called Deadman’s cave, (it starts with a C in Spanish) which he offered for us to do but it was 2pm by then and we hadn’t had lunch yet and it was going to be another 50+ minutes. Another couple we met on the excursion went and were really impressed. They wished the guide had encouraged more to go, their disappointment was they were told they would…”

Learn stand-up paddle basics in Puerto Vallarta, then glide the coast past the Malecon and Los Muertos pier for 2 hours.

“Unfortunately, we were unable to actually paddle board. The ocean was rough and honestly it should have been cancelled. My boyfriend and I are decent at paddleboarding and neither one of us could stand up. We only spent about 30 mins or so on the water before we gave up. The current moved us behind are starting point and we only were able to get back to that point. The tour guide was generous enough to take us on a tour of downtown and drop us off back at the port.”

Paddle boards, snorkeling, and towable boards for wild dolphin pods near Puerto Vallarta, with a marine specialist and flexible interaction options.

“Maybe we caught them on an off day, I’m not sure. There was not much here worth writing about for our family of 6. We chose an 8am tour, and their own description says the earlier the better for seeing dolphins. When we were contacted the day before the tour, they told us to meet at 8:30 instead of 8. So that’s fine. So we meet at 8:30 at the pier, but they say they need to get the boat ready and for us to wait. So we sit on a bench for 30 minutes waiting for them, and finally depart shortly after 9am. There is a guide who was…”
