EXCELLENT Based on 239 reviews Megan Z2024-07-06Verified Great experience with friendly, professional, and knowledgeable guide! We had an awesome time! Lots of time to snorkel and relax at the secluded beach! They worked with us in getting a more convenient pick up location, which was nice! We had a super knowledgeable and friendly guide, who also made great guacamole. We would definitely recommend this tour! Mario L2024-05-26Verified Dream day adventure We originally booked a private boat tour to Yalapa with Fernando & Mixon but upon arrival they suggested we checkout another small fish town instead since the waterfall at Yalapa was not currently flowing. We are so glad we took their advice. An hour long boat ride and we arrived at the town of Quimixto where Mixon lead us on a adventure of horseback riding up to a waterfall with a small restaurant and swimming hole. On the way back to PV, we stopped at another beach town where we enjoyed more margaritas and parasailing. Fernando & Mixon were awesome, this was definitely the highlight of our trip! cyc9282024-03-29Verified Book La Vida Bella La Vida Bella was the perfect boat for our group or 7. It was a smooth and beautiful ride from the Marina to Los Arcos. Unfortunately, due to global warming, the water was rougher, murkier, and colder than usual at this time of year so snorkeling was not the best. Fernando and Fernando were great and made some delicious guacamole. Cole C2024-01-15Verified Amazing! Amazing! Our hosts were great, and it was a great price for a private boat. We even saw dolphins and whales! 5 stars overall, I think they could add more goggles and swimming fins. Ruth G2023-09-08Verified Awesome snorkeling for a great price This is an awesome private group snorkeling trip for a great price! The snorkeling was fabulous at Los Arcos. So many fish! The hosts are great and weren’t in a hurry for us to leave. Rc120152023-08-10Verified Worth trying out! Excellent. Particularly impressed by the way the crew showed us the ropes and kept tabs on all six of us while snorkeling at Los Arcos, and helped out where needed. A memorable experience. Flyer7855242023-08-03Verified Very Very pleased with this charter. Great crew and boat. Guacamole and drinks were great! Caught a tuna & Amber Jack. Wow! Great staff and Boat! Caught a couple of fish too. ( Tuna and Amberjack )Smooth day and really enjoyed the whole experience! Larry S2023-08-02Verified Great Fishing Guide. Great Fishing Guide, sure did not disappoint. Fast trip out to the fishing area sand a nice ride back to the dock in front of the resorts. Abe T2023-07-23Verified Wonderful private trip with excellent guides. Wonderful trip. Our guides were very kind and informative. They explained about the history of los arcos, Bahia de Banderas and all of the fish and animals. We would definitely book again. E Grimsley2023-07-08Verified Top notch experience- best way to take a family/group snorkeling We went with 5 people that included 2 young adults, a teenage and us parents. What made this a top-notch experience? Here are the bullet points:+We arrived early, and our crew was ready to take us out.+Equipment (snorkels, life vests, swim mask and fins) were in great shape and fit everyone.+Our crew answered our many questions about PV, what is swimming in the water, etc.+Drinks were immediately offered as soon as we got onboard.+The boat was clean, really clean and very comfortable. There is a canopy that covers the whole boat so there is always shade. The front of the boat has cushions that are about the size of two (2) twin beds so there is an area to lay down.+One of our crew members joined us in the water to show us the best areas and how to avoid the crowds (and yes, those bigger boats show up but only stay 15 minutes)+Guacamole and chips were ready and waiting after we finished snorkeling (about 1.5 hours, which is plenty of time)+The ride back included bottomless margaritas (well made!) and 80's music, something everyone enjoyed.I did LOTS of price shopping and for a family of 5, the price can't be beat.
