Recommend!! - Excursion was great! Our family had a blast! They did a great job at keeping us all together. Only thing bad I have to say is we did the sea lions first so they told us to wash off all the sunscreen etc. for the safety of the animals (which I support) however I wish they would have set some time aside for us to reapply as once we are wet it's hard to put back on. Majority of my family ended up burning on the excursion because of this. None of us had an idea where we were going to come out on the waterslide haha. Zipline line up was extremely long and wait times were a little brutal. The photographer took her break as soon as it was our turns so only 2/7 got photos doing that which was disappointing. Lunch was spectacular, I cannot eat bread and so they gave me this wonderful salad instead (only didn't have any dressing) Overall I would do this again in a heart beat or any of the Vallarta adventures, ALL of the staff was fantastic! But Angel was our favourite - he was extremely knowledable, friendly, funny and just made the experience that much better! Pro tip, put your lip chap in your bathing suit so you have it on you the whole time as you leave your bag on the boat fairly often.

"Thrill at Sea: Ocean Mania" - The "Ocean Mania" tour is an exciting adventure designed for adrenaline lovers looking for an unforgettable experience at sea. The tour offers a wide range of exciting activities including a sea lion encounter, parasailing, the thrilling thriller boat, a banana ride, a zip line that takes you straight to the sea, a water slide and the fun slowrider. It is important to come prepared for action: I recommend wearing aquasocks to protect your feet during water activities. Additionally, it is important to leave jewelry at home, as you will need to take it off to interact with the sea lions. At the end of the tour, a delicious Subway-style sandwich is offered with flank steak, chicken or vegetarian options, accompanied by potato wedges and a brownie. Additionally, once the tour is over, an open bar is included to continue enjoying. The trip is on a fast boat, so there are no bathrooms available on board. It is recommended to bring a sweater for the round trip, as the sea breeze can be cool. In short, "Ocean Mania" is the perfect tour for thrill-seekers at sea, with a unique combination of exciting activities and delicious dining options at the end of the day. --- The "Ocean Mania" tour is an exciting adventure designed for adrenaline junkies looking for an unforgettable experience at sea.

Exciting Adventure - This was one action-packed adventure. When traveling with a group, there is plenty for everyone to do. The tour guides were amazing and the activities are worth it. The lunch was okay, but not great.

Super fun and exciting day with great Guides! - It was a cloudy day, but we still had an excellent and exciting day! We started by boating from Puerto to Neuvo Vallarta, joining some others and enjoying the Sea Lion experience. The Sea Lions are very well trained and this was a good start to the day. We then went para-sailing and got the adrenaline pumping with the Thriller speed boat, which actually goes under the water! Miguel was a great speed boat driver and Moses had us laughing and enjoying ourselves all the time! Capt. Cookie took us via boat south of Puerto Vallarta to do some snorkeling in a reef, then we did the wave rider (kinda like man-made waves body boarding), waterslide, zipline, banana boat and a crazy tubing experience called Spinner (hold on tight, seriously). Lunch was tasty, and had my favorite chips and guac as a snack too. The bartender, Juanito mixed up a Scorpion drink for us, recommended by our guide, Moses. This was a super fun day and I would recommend it. Thanks to Capt Cookie, Moses, Miguel (El Diablo), and the rest of the crew at Vallarta Adventures for making this a great experience!

Fun times! - The weather was gloomy for the first part of the adventure, but the water was still warm! The waves were pretty rough on the way to the cove where most of the activities were, but it was still fun! If you like water activities, then this one is for you!

First half was great, second half- not so much. - Seems like it should have been 2 different tours. Started with meeting seals, then to the sea to parasail and a crazy fun boat ride but then it was a 35-40 minute boat ride to the water park, which is both fairly dangerous and very restrictive in height/age/weight. For example, the zip line pulls you into the ocean, you don't drop in so you legs/feet hit pretty hard and there is a 'step up' activity that injured two in my party of 14. The first half was a lot of fun, second half we could have done without.

The good, the bad and the ugly. - Well, this trip was a mixed bag for us. I'll start with the good. Our tour guide, Angel, was amazing. He was very accommodating, informative and fun. He really made the trip for us. The jet boat and the parasailing were extremely fun. The scenery at Las Caletas is breathtaking. The lunch they served was delicious and the service excellent. The bad. The step up attraction was closed for repairs which is understandable, but disappointing. We had seen others use the attraction before us and I wonder if the operator just didn't feel like belaying for us. The time allotted for Los Caletas was limited and there just wasn't enough time to do all there is to do. Again, understandable, but disappointing. And now for the ugly. The weight restrictions on the zip line prevented one in our party from participating. This again is understandable, but maybe something could have been said earlier to prevent the "walk of shame" after being told this at the entrance of the attraction. No one deserves to be put in that situation. Later in the day, the kids and I went back to the zipline and our fourth walked down to meet us due to the previously mentioned weight restriction. The operator told us there we no more rides for the day. Again, understandable, so I ran down to inform our forth. Upon climbing back up the hill I noticed another guest riding the zipline. Why tell us it's closed and refuse access and then let others ride? This was very disappointing for the kids. Lasty, the photos. We bought our package online to save a few dollars. When buying online we had the option to by photo packages for $29 USD per per person. This would work out to $116 USD for the four of us or about $2000 MEX. This seemed rather high to me so I decided to just purchase a few pictures after the tour. At the tour we were informed we could buy our full photo package for $3800 MEX ($224 USD), one event (just the jet boat for example) for $2000 MEX ($116 USD), or single photos for $900 MEX ($53 USD). These prices are insane! I understand they need to pay photographers for the day, but at least give people the option to buy the photos at the online price. Overall, I would say our experience was good. My family had fun and to me, that is the only thing that matters. But with the cost involved, I can definitely say we would not go a second time and I probably would not recommend to family or friends.
