These Guys are the Best - These guys are the best. Had a great tour with Javier and Moi to visit Los Arcos, Las Animas, and Quimixto. Guides were knowledgeable about the area, very attentive, and chill. They made sure we has snacks and drinks and took care of the whole tour which included kids and seniors. The day we went the surf was strong and we were unable to snorkel but they made every effort to try and made sure we saw lots of fish. Definitely go to Quimixto waterfall. Nice hike up the mountain and waterfall area is great to swim in. These guys were the best and definitely 5 out of 5.

Fantastic family outing - We had a fantastic time on this family outing and I would recommend it to anyone. As others have said, Jack has a great personality. Our guide Paul was amazing, always entertaining us and making sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. We had a young couple, and two families with younger children, in addition to our family with older teens, and everyone seems to have a great time. They adjust to the group and can read the energy level well. Due to high waves and rough water, the snorkeling was not a good option but we still had a blast seeing the rocks and different beaches. The waterfall hike was beautiful and cliff jumping was a blast for our older boys (and myself). When I lost my watch due to some carelessness while cliff jumping, Paul grabbed a snorkel mask and found it in about 20’+ of water. Lunch on the beach was delicious, but plan for an extra 400-500 peso cash for a good lunch and beverage, as it’s remote and they have to bring everything in.

Great Activity While in PV! - Incredible activity while in Puerto Vallarta. We went to a beautiful waterfall where we were able to go cliff jumping, visited local cities, and ate delicious food! We had the opportunity to go snorkeling too but did not due to the water conditions... but it's okay because our group still had a ton to do! The tour guides were so entertaining and provided us with drinks while on the boat. They were also very accommodating to all groups of people. We went as a couple and were surrounded by families with young kids. Regardless of this, I would absolutely still recommend this tour to everyone.

An amazing day! - An amazing day for all! Javier was a super guide who interacted and was so great with our 2 teens. The waterfalls and cliff jumping were definitely a highlight. Snorkeling and seeing the beauty of Los Arcos was also so incredible. Thank you “Jack” and the whole team. If you’re around Barcelo or Mismaloya definitely check them out!

100% recommend, don’t book with anyone else - WOWWWWW this was an amazing experience! Paolo is amazing at guiding. He made this experience for our group epic. I cannot say enough praise for him. He is kind, friendly, knowledgeable, very proficient in English and so professional we had so much fun with him! We felt safe the entire time. We went to the waterfall and he helped our group climb up the ledge under the waterfall for photos and to slide down it, and took us cliff jumping off the side. He made our trip so memorable. Jack don’t ever let him go!! We also had the pleasure of speaking with and booking our trip with Jack (owner). He was also incredible and very passionate and instantly sold us on booking the trip with his company which did not disappoint. We booked a few days before and every time we walked past his office he always came out to say hi and he was looking forward to having us on Sunday. He was also on the beach the morning we left and came over right away to greet us and to have a blast on our excursion. He’s very personable and made our group feel special!!! The boat was very very clean, and super comfortable. Our boat driver was great and no point did I feel we were unsafe. We had a group of 5 friends but the total amount of people on the boat was small with only 9 of us which was so nice! Getting on and off the boat was a bit dependant on how rough the water was and Paolo and our driver were so helpful at making it as smooth as possible. Free alcoholic and nonalcoholic on the boat all day! Yahoo! Unfortunately we didn’t have time to try the zip lining tour but hopefully we can next time! The price was a great value for what we received. We paid in Pesos as we are from Canada!! I 100% recommend only booking with Jack Sparrow!!

Amazing experience! - A great time was had, lots of beers were drunk, some tequila, some cliff diving, some snorkeling, some hiking, some money was spent. We had a really good time. Jack is an interesting and very funny character We had Samir and Daniel as our caretakers who were great. I can't say enough about these guys. Great job and great service, guys!

Kind, thoughtful service in the prettiest places! - My mom, sister, and I took the excursion to Quimixto waterfall. Paulo was our kind and knowledgeable guide. I really appreciate how he helped my mother in and out of the boat, and also guided her through the trail carefully to make sure that she did not slip. We all felt well taken care of. Samir was an excellent boat captain. The owner, Jack, was also extremely kind. I highly recommend this company!

Outstanding! - We booked Ulises from Jack Sparrow for a full day boat charter and had an incredibly great experience. Genaro and Teodoro from Team Oceania 1 were also along to guide us. Genaro and Ulises were so fantastic and engaging, enthusiastically participating in everything we did, with knowledge of the unique land and sea creatures. Ulises and Genaro went above and beyond at every stop we made, and we did a lot! We cliff jumped, snorkelled (with both of them in the water showing us everything there is to see), we hiked, whale watched, and they took us to an out-of-the-way restaurant that was wonderful. An emergency ended up arising through no fault of anyones and the first aid and quick thinking from Ulises and Genaro was outstanding. We cannot recommend them highly enough. You will be in the best hands and have a day that you will never forget. P.S. A few days after that tour, we booked the night tour with Ulises to see the bioluminescence. It was nothing short of magical.
