Jun_L, May 2026

Unforgettable & Well-Organized Experience!

This experience exceeded all my expectations! The entire process was smooth and well-organized, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged. The guide/staff were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to all our needs, making the trip feel both safe and special. I learned so much and had such a wonderful time, it’s absolutely worth every penny. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!

A wonderful experience Must Try

Joane our tour guy was so amazing. So warm, friendly, and patientl. She answered all the questions and even got extra things such as cactus fruit for people who said they’ve never tried it. It wasn’t even part of the tour. She just did a lot of those little extra things that set the tour apart from others. The place we visited were very local and you really get to discover these gems that you might otherwise not have the courage to step in and try. We were full by the time we were done, but I also got a lot of information regarding the city. I would highly recommend this tour and if possible request Joane as a guide.

Mega Catamarans ALL INCLUSIVE Remote Paradise Beach Adventure

Ariel_F, May 2026

One of the Highlights of Our Puerto Vallarta Trip!

The experience was 10/10! The staff definitely knew how to keep the energy up and had the whole boat having a great time from the very beginning. I do wish we had a little more time on the private beach, but overall it was such a fun experience and completely worth it. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking to have a good time without the stress of planning everything yourself, they took care of it all. Food, drinks, music, activities and fun all included! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Puerto Vallarta!

Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour

jacqueline_c, May 2026

Amazing day trip. Went beyond our expectations

My husband and I went after our wedding in Sayulita! It was amazing. Perfect mixture of relaxing, fun, and adventure! We had enough space on the boat to enjoy each other. The staff was insanely helpful and was always ready to serve us. The islands were breathtaking and having a photographer on board let us unwind without needing our phones. We bought the photos for $40 -- they are so good!

Luxury Yacht & Snorkel with All inclusive Open bar and lunch

Lynsey_R, Apr 2026

Absolutely would do this again

This was even better than expected! Victor and his crew were super friendly and helpful. The yacht was a catamaran and was very nice/well maintained. The drinks and food were delicious and easily obtained. The other people on the boat with us were great, it was a small group which is perfect. We snorkeled and lounged at beaches, 10/10. Highly recommend, it’s a great price for everything that’s included.

Watch and Swim with Dolphins in the Wild

Alecia_Z, Apr 2026

Amazing!

We had an absolutely incredible experience on this tour! Our guide Gemma was amazing and very knowledgeable. There were only 4 of us on the boat and we had many encounters swimming with the dolphins! I’m so happy to see there is a tour to enjoy these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat, where they should be and not in captivity. We would highly recommend this tour! .

Boat and Snorkel Tour to 5 Islands of Los Arcos

Evelina_S, Apr 2026

Had a great time!!

This was a very fun adventure. Our guide Diego was great, very friendly and informative and made sure we were taken good care of the entire time. It was neat to see the town of Mismaloya and all the protected birds on Los Arcos. The water was warm which was nice and made it easy to get in and swim around. Due to algae conditions that day the ocean was a little murky so we did get to see different types of fish swimming right under us but perhaps not as many as we would have liked. My boyfriend had a little trouble with the snorkel mask so if you want you can always bring your own if you like which I did and had no issues. We got time after that snorkeling to relax and the beach and have some drinks which was really nice as well. Would definitely recommend this trip. It was really nice that it was a small group and not overcrowded too. We had a great time overall and would definitely recommend!

Sunset and Bioluminescence Boat Tour at Los Arcos Islands

JOSE_L, Apr 2026

Magical experience

Awesome experience, 3 hours ride into the beautiful beaches of Puerto Vallarta, beautiful night view to the city and to watch the bioluminescence on a dark night full of stars. The guides are so fun and friendly, and if you love to swim on deep waters this is your chance to experience such of magical moment. Definitely recommend.

ATV and RZR Jorullo Bridge Experience in Puerto Vallarta

Brittanie_R, Apr 2026

So fun!

Rating is based on the excursion itself, not the transpiration to/from. We loved riding ATVs through the hills and over the bridges. Jonny and Luis were amazing guides and kept us very safe. Jonny was very helpful and caring of our experience. Be prepared to ride in an open air truck back to your drop off location.

Cirque du Soleil LUDÕ — New Nayarit

Shawn_C, Mar 2026

Amazing show

The show was fantastic. Highly recommend. I was really surprised and disappointed that we booked 7 tickets as a group and then when we showed up they were in two distant groups of 4 and 3. Fortunately the people at the event helped us- but it makes me question whether I would book through Viator ever again.

Private ATV tour with waterfall and Tequila tasting

William_P, Jan 2026

ATV's foster togetherness!

We bought this experience for our son and his wife for Christmas. They rode on one ATV together since his wife had never been on one before. They had a great time and would highly recommend it to others. My daughter-in-law said she liked holding on to my son and riding with him rather then beside him on her own ATV.
