Well worth the money! - Our Captain and BartenderDJ were amazing! The water was a little to choppy to snorkel but that gave us more time to follow a family of whales a couple miles down the coast and that was awesome! The beach was really beautiful, the water felt great. The restaurant had good food and great drinks!

Fun Day Out - We were visiting for the day from our cruise ship. Fernando & Mixton created a great outing for our group of 6. We enjoyed touring the Puerto Vallarta shoreline, learning a little history about the area, snorkeling in Los Arcos (we even got to see a sea turtle), and relaxing for a few hours on a quiet beach. Thanks for a great day out! Highly recommend

Boat tour - Fernando and Mixon did a wonderful job showing us around the shoreline. We got some good snorkeling in and had a fabulous lunch at Las Animas. There were not many people on the beach when we first got there. The service at the restaurant was great!

A Great Private Boat Trip! - This was a fantastic boat trip! Fernando and Mitsen were both very friendly, helpful and informative! I would definitely recommend this trip if you want something private and looking to avoid the typical "booze cruise" with a bunch of drunken strangers.

A+++ this experience is an absolute must when traveling to PV! - This experience is an absolute must when traveling to Puerto Vallarta! Fernando and his son, also Fernando, were the most wonderful guides and made us feel right at home. My partner and I had such an incredible day cruising along the malecón, snorkeling at los arcos, and lounging/swimming along the beautiful waters of Las Animas beach. We also enjoyed lunch at El Coral where the service was fantastic. This was our favorite experience of our trip and we will absolutely be returning when we visit next! 14/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
