Best day - Loved everything! The activities, the crew, the service. We had an awesome day. Plus, we saw hundreds of dolphins. Would highly recommend!

Super fun day with these... - Super fun day with these guys! Fun onboard at all times. Recommend for anyone who wants a fun boat day!!!

Fun day on the water with Vallarta Adventures. - A really fun way to spend the day. Loved all the great info shared about Islas Marietas. The lunch was well-done and the visit to the beach was also fun. Professional and fun staff. We definitely left feeling like our money was well-spent and would happily book an excursion with Vallarta Adventures again. Truthfully the snorkeling was not the best I've seen - visibility was fairly low and not a lot to see, but it may be that I am just spoiled by previous snorkeling experiences.

Great Experience! - Had an amazing experience. The crew was funny and very entertaining throughout the entire experience. When we went snorkeling we saw tons of fish and sting rays. Loved being on the ocean and would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Must do - Super fun. Good snorkeling. Safe and easy to get in and out of boats. Beach portion was Ana ing. Good delicious. Great drinks. Staff is fun and they work hard.

Would return to this tour. - Awesome crew friendly helpful people. Great scenery & food, many laughs, and memories to have. The crew was so versatile in the lip sync performance.

Amazing tour! - Amazing excursion! Alex was fantastic! He was very informative and entertaining. The swim into Hidden Beach was challenging fighting the current and waves, but very fun! Saw lots of different fish and sea urchins on the snorkel portion of the adventure. We even got to see some humpback whales on the boat ride to and from Puerto Vallarta. Highly recommend this tour!!

Super fun excursion but unexpected circumstances </3 - Only reason I don’t give a 5 star is because of factors out of the crews control. We weren’t able to go to Majahuitas :-( and the water visibility during snorkeling was okay but still fun, we weren’t out for as long as I’d hoped but because we didn’t see much I’m not complaining! The actual crew was so amazing and fun to be around. Originally we wanted to do scuba diving at Majahuitas but we weren’t able to, however Nicholas helped us through it all and was so sweet to my friends and I despite the unforeseen circumstances! Also Luis was such a fun time and made the trip entirely worth it. He danced with our group and made sure we had food/water the whole excursion. Juan was also great. Noe/Noah(?) was an awesome tour guide and there was even a skit that was super entertaining to watch. I would also say if you’re prone to getting seasick maybe take Dramamine or bring remedies for seasickness. Two of my friends unexpectedly threw up on the way to the island but were fine afterwards. Looking around there were many people with bags/leaned over the side not feeling great. I usually get easily motion sick but I tried not to think about it and I was fine for the most part!! Overall, went with my girlfriends and we’re all in college and we were one of the few groups that were really bumping to the music and stayed by the open bar 😆 but the crew kept up with our high energy!

More focus on drinking than snorkeling - Pros: - good and friendly service and staff, - included activity of banana boat rides, - good lunch, - open bar and drinks service, - decent quality flippers provided Cons: - no option to rent a wetsuit for snorkeling and no warning that the ocean is quite cold (although they had plenty of wetsuits onboard for people who wanted to try SCUBA) - too little snorkeling time, - no advance warning that everyone will have to swim to and from the beach - I would have brought a waterproof bag. This was especially ridiculous as other tour companies brought their passengers to the shore, - open bar and very abundant drinks service (crew were constantly coming around with jugs of spiked punch and beer), combined with dance music, turned the return part of the trip into a drunk fest for a lot of people, making it rather less than family friendly environment. The company should really decide what they want this tour to be - ridiculously overpriced food at the check in area in Nuevo Vallarta.

I just want my money back since it wasn't at all what was promised. - We went on the Islas Marietas Eco Discovery tour and it was extremely unfortunate. First, there was an extra charge of $20 per person the day of (a "docking" fee?) which was annoying. Then we took off to go snorkeling, but my family did not even get to get into the water because people were immediately getting stung by jellyfish. While this is out of their control, the way they handled it was not. An announcement was made that we would be going to a new location in hopes that jellyfish would not be an issue, but I truly believe they no longer intended to let us do any water activities because they served lunch then, at 10am, when we werent even hungry yet because we had only eaten breakfast a little while before. They also began the open bar, which I find suspicious seeing as the website said that alcohol wouldnt be served until after all water activities, but we were still supposed to be "going elsewhere for the activities." Strange. At the next location we were yet again not allowed to snorkel, and were told that paddleboarding and kayaking were out of the cards as well. We arrived at the private beach which, don't get me wrong, was beautiful, but we were told to swim to the beach, despite just being told there were jellyfish. This also didn't allow us to bring anything onto the beach (towels, sunscreen, books, phones) and we didn't know how long we would be there. There was the option to go to the dock and walk to the beach, which was described as the easier route for children and the elderly, so my sister and I decided to take this route since we wanted to bring our stuff with us. The walk was NOT built for those who struggle with long distances because in the heat it was exhausting and all uphill, my sister and I are in our 20's and are lifelong athletes and were quite tired after the 20 minute trek. We did enjoy our time at the beach however, but when they called for us to get back on the boat, not giving the option to walk this time, there was a slight problem. Everyone who walked did not have lifejackets and it was a decently far swim to the boat. This is a SAFETY HAZARD!!! I am a confident swimmer so I literally ended up giving my lifejacket to a girl who was absolutely terrified to swim back, and honestly, it was a difficult swim. They also just yelled to get back on the boat, so I'm not sure everybody heard it. They did not check to see if everyone got back on (like doing a count or checking names off of a list) and my family & I swear that the boat was only like 60% full on the way back compared to on the way there. I paid significant money for the opportunity to snorkle, kayak, and paddleboard, and instead got an exhausting day of drinks being shoved down our throats (which normally I obviously wouldnt mind) but it felt like they were just trying to get people drunk so they wouldnt be upset. Honestly if I could give this a zero I would, I just feel that we shouldve been offered at least a partial refund or the ability to go back out again another day when the jellyfish/waves werent an issue. Really really disappointing :(
