Amazing experience, awesome people, unforgettable sights. 💯 - This was hands down the highlight of our entire vacation. What you all do is truly incredible. Everyone on your team was not only skilled, but also genuinely kind and fun to be around. I’d absolutely recommend this experience to anyone in the area—it’s something you won’t want to miss. From the people to the places and the stunning sights, everything was just amazing. Thank you! No lie, my boy paul was tuff👊🏽

10/10 - My husband and I went on an excursion with Captain Jack Sparrow this April, and it was hands-down one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Mexico! From start to finish, the experience was amazing. Captain Jack was so helpful, hilarious, and incredibly knowledgeable—not to mention totally committed to making sure everyone had the best time. The whole crew was fantastic and made us feel safe, welcome, and ready for adventure. We were taken to some seriously stunning snorkel spots (so much marine life!), got to do some super fun cliff diving, and even relaxed at a gorgeous waterfall hangout. Every single part of the day felt thoughtfully planned and full of good vibes. If you’re thinking about booking—DO IT! This isn’t just an excursion, it’s a memory-maker. We’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Fun day of adventure - Jack is amazing, full of energy and very exuberant. The tour starts with a cliff jump in Mismaloya Bay, then over to Los Arcos for some history, feeding the fish and snorkelling. Along the coast ride we were given informative information. The drinks (water, pop, beer and tequila shots) were included. Next, we went for a hike (if you can’t hike 30 minutes up hill, you can rent a horse or an ATV). The cliff jumping from the top waterfall was fun to watch. Drinks and snacks at the local cantina were good. Next, we went snorkeling and saw many fish. Lastly, we went to Las Animas to a very good beach restaurant. We were extremely exhausted and needed a nap by the end. It was a great day and I recommend this company. Our guide Xavier was very good as Jack had 3 boats out that day.

Ultimate Best Day ever - Captain Jack and his crew gave us the most fantastic experience we have ever had on a guided tour. It was a day we will never forget and these guys were 100% committed to your safety and to showing you the time of your life. We jumped off cliffs, snokelled with an amazing array of fish, relaxed with lunch on some remote island, had dolphins entertain us, it was so much. Captain Jack was an amazing host and his crew were so fun to be with.

Highly recommend Jack Sparrow! - The trip was awesome and as good as advertised! We had Javier and Tony take our two families (4 adults and 4 kids aged 11 to 15) basically take us on a private all day tour. They suggested ideas tailored to our group and just let us decide what to do all day long which was perfect. We lucked out and got to see some humpback whales up close first thing in the morning even though most whales are already moved up north by now. The snorkeling around Los Arcos was some of the best we have ever done and neat to swim and boat through the caves! Did some cliff jumping in our own little spot that was great for the kids. Waterfall area was nice and cool that you could choose to walk, ride a mule, or take a quad. Mule and quad are a cost above the tour price but a neat way to get up to the waterfalls. Overall, was a great day and everyone in our group loved it. Javier and Tony were great and the flexibility of the day was the best. We left right from our hotel (Barcelo at Mismaloya Bay) around 9 am and got back between 4:30 and 5:00 and they told us many times we could stay out as long as we wanted. Definitely recommend this trip with Jack Sparrow if you are in Puerto Vallarta!

10/10 would recommend this local company for a beautiful day on the water - We had an amazing time with Javier, Jack’s brother. It was a slightly rough day on the ocean but they made sure we still had great time snorkeling and hiking to a beautiful waterfall. 10/10 would recommend booking with this local company.

That you Jack Sparrow - First of all book directly with Jack sparrow, we have gone on many many tours and I've used someone different and after reading all the great reviews about Jack sparrow I went to their office to book. Jack was not there and I booked with somebody different but after reading the reviews, everyone loved Jack sparrow the most. So I went back Jack was there. His boat was always really busy with lots of people so we went with his brother Javier and Steve greatest day ever I would do it again if we had more time but we will book with them next year thank you Jack. He knew I was nervous because the boat we were gonna go on they didn't speak any English and we don't know any Spanish so we put us with his brother and his brother Javier did a fantastic job. What a gentleman super fun. I know some people got cheaper prices than us, but then we didn't book directly with Jack so just deal with Jack.

Amazing day in Banderas Bay with Captain Jack - This was highly recommended to us and we are so happy we did it. There are no words to describe how amazing this experience was. We had the honour of touring with Captain Jack himself, but his whole crew is amazing! Sad it is over as it was our favourite day of our trip.
