Amazing Tour! - Such a fun experience! Clear instructions on where to meet in the Romantic Zone. We had our Uber bring us an hour early so we could walk around the area- so amazing! We took a bus with the locals for about 30 min (great scenic drive). Then we walk through a village to a boat taxi to our first beach. We snorkeled for about 29 min- I am glad we didn’t do it longer because we needed energy for the hike. The hike went along the coastline with stops at the other beaches. It was a good workout followed by beautiful beach time. The hike was in total a little less than 2 miles. The restaurant we ate at the end so so amazing. I like we paid for it ourselves so we could choose what we had- we ate ceviche and grilled octopus- amazing!!! We took a boat back to the village and headed home. Took about 7 hours total. Our guide was great and went at a pace good for everyone.

Amazing! Bachelorette Trip loved it - An awsome air bnb experience! I would recommend everyone do this to avoid the crazy packed public beaches. Hike wasn’t hard at all, and the beaches have views that are 10/10. You can even jump from tall rocks into the crystal blue water! Erick our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun and made for an enjoyable day. Pro-tips: it’s a long day, so instead of walking back, ask your tour guide to take the boat all the way back to PV and you can do that for around $12.50 USD per person. Also, bring more water than you think (1.5-2 L) and bring snacks. It’s hot, but the beaches are timed perfectly to cool off and wash the sweat off! I also think I would’ve been okay not wearing sneakers and just a secure hiking sandal or water shoe, wasn’t fun putting sneakers on wet feet. Lastly, the restaurant can make you veggie options (quesadillas) if needed. Do it! Book it now.

Best excursion in PV - The experience was by one of my favorite excursions ever. Our tour guide Raul was amazing. He was informative. He was a lot of fun. Note that this excursion is not for the weak at heart. You need to be in moderate to good shape. There is a lot of steep hiking with a lot of trails that are made up of rocky and slippery settings. The beaches were beautiful. We ended up at an amazing restaurant and swimming area. We got to see some exclusive resorts that are only available if you hike to them or boat to them. That was a lot of fun. I would do this again for sure. Our family is made up of adults from 59-21.

Beautiful beaches and excellent hike! - Had a great experience. The hike was intense but we had breaks in each beautiful beach. Our guide, Victor, was really nice and attentive to our needs. I would recommend you bring comfortable hiking clothes, hat, sunblock, a towel, googles, and lots of water!

Tough But 100% Worth It - I'm so glad we chose Alex's guided hike instead of trying to do the hike on our own. I'm an experienced hiker, and live in the southern Rockies, so I'm used to long distances, high altitude and lots of elevation gain. Although this is a rather short hike distance wise, the condition of the trail was challenging, with steep scrambles up and down, especially at the beginning.
I had debated whether to wear athletic sandals, and opted for my sketchers slip on tennis shoes- honestly trail running shoes would have been more appropriate and provided better traction in the steep areas. Also make sure to have plenty of hydration with you, as the heat and humidity can get on you real fast. This hike is 100% worth it but be realistic about your fitness level. Three people in our small group had to bail at the first beach and take a water taxi to Animas.
Alex was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He is professional, speaks fluent English, and was very thoughtful in his guiding of our group of varied preparedness. He is also a great photographer and we have lots of great shots for our Christmas card! I highly recommend Alex's hike, just come prepared, and then be prepared to be exhausted the rest of the day :) Thank you Alex!

Fantastic adventure outside of the city! - What a blast! For a 6+ hour experience of white sandy beaches and fun, this is a great pick.
Fantastic trip beginning in one of the oldest districts in Puerto Vallarta.
Our guide, Victor, was a highlight. Kind, responsible, and communicative. He took great care making sure everyone understood the directions and kept everyone together and safe.
A bus ride takes you south down the coast away from big crowds.
The trail is intermittent difficulty. It reminds me of the rocky hills back home. Not a lot of elevation gain but there is footwork involved. Water shoes or tennis shoes will work fine.
You get sweeping views of the bay and coast line.
A lovely taste of the west coast Mexican outdoors. Less crowds, less trash, and more fun.
We arrived at the smallest beach in Mexico and got straight to swimming.
The water was perfect and little fish were everywhere.
The second beach was our favorite . Each beach was different with rock formations, easy to scope out tide pools with wildlife. Go snorkeling in areas protected from major waves and see the underwater landscape.
Middle of the hike there is a lovely snack and drink stand with extremely reasonable prices and tasty fruit and hammocks and more beaching.
The end of the hike goes into a small fishing village of 20 houses.
The restaurant there is AMAZING!
For the food, drinks and service. Phenomenal. We also had a birthday boy in the party. The servers had fun making it a big celebration.
The food is amazing. And compared to some popular spots in the beach downtown, it blew our expectations out of the water. Great flavors, super fresh . Everyone in our group was so happy with everything.
Thank you for such a great time everyone! Will definitely come back to see you again!

Entertaining ride - Very entertaining, we should have crossed from Boca de Tomatlan to Colomitos and were taken by boat, it would have been a more complete tour.
