This tour was wonderful. The staff were kind and attentive. We got to see birds, whales, and dolphins which were all very exciting. The food was amazing and the vibes were excellent. We also opted for the Hidden Beach addition and that was beautiful and well worth it. I would absolutely book this tour again if I’m ever back in PV!

Teen excursion was a success

Erin_T, Mar 2026
Teen boys had a great adventure - the crew took care of them and they had so much fun snorkeling. Thank you

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for your kind review! I’m really glad to hear the teen adventure was a success — that’s what we love to hear! Snorkeling and exploring the Marietas is always a hit, especially for younger guests looking for a bit of excitement. It’s wonderful to know our crew took great care of them and helped create such a fun and memorable experience. We truly appreciate you choosing us and hope to welcome your family back again soon for another great day on the water! Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner

Really fun trip. The tour...

Darin_L, Mar 2026
Really fun trip. The tour company did a great job. Food and drinks were provided. Pictures taken. Definitely recommend

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for the great review! I’m really glad to hear you had such a fun trip and that everything from the food and drinks to the photos helped make it a memorable experience. Our team works hard to make sure every detail is taken care of so guests can just relax and enjoy the day. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to have you back on board again for another great adventure! Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner

Tim_W, Mar 2026
Crew was engaging, funny, accommodating, and took great care of us. Highly recommend this experience

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for the great review! I love hearing that the crew made such a strong impression — engaging, funny, and accommodating is exactly the energy we aim to bring to every Marietas Islands adventure. When the team is having fun and genuinely connecting with guests, it makes the whole day even more memorable. Taking great care of our guests is always the priority, so your words truly mean a lot to us. Thank you for the recommendation and for choosing to spend your day on the water with us. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another unforgettable experience! Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner

Ups and downs on the ocean cruise

Andrew_F, Feb 2026
Total booze cruise. So if you like an open and minimal service when others have gone on activities, this would be fine. Was a little shorter than in the past and the activity time was minimal. The food was minimal and tasted okay. The service was mostly good for drinks when everyone was on the boat. Lots of great views from the boat and even better on the activity trips and seeing whales, dolphins, turtles, and a breaking devil ray was fantastic. Staff was friendly and very accommodating.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we truly value honest reviews like yours. I do want to gently clarify that our Marietas Islands experience is designed first and foremost as an eco-adventure to a protected national park. While we include an open bar as part of the all-inclusive experience, the focus of the day is on exploring the islands, enjoying marine life, and participating in water activities within the guidelines set by federal environmental authorities. Activity time at the Marietas is strictly regulated to help preserve this incredible ecosystem, and landing windows are carefully controlled. Compared to years past, regulations are tighter today, which can sometimes make activity portions feel shorter than expected. That said, I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed the wildlife sightings — whales, dolphins, turtles, and even a breaching devil ray is an extraordinary lineup for one day on the water! Moments like those are truly unforgettable. I also appreciate your comments regarding food and service. When groups rotate through activities, service flow naturally shifts between those on board and those participating off the boat, but we are always working to improve timing and attentiveness throughout the entire experience. Thank you for recognizing our friendly and accommodating crew — they genuinely care about our guests and work hard to create a great day on the water. We hope to welcome you back again, perhaps on one of our yacht experiences that offers a different pace and style. Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner

Thank you so much for the amazing review, Caitie! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful day with us and that you enjoyed the wildlife sightings, great food, and fun vibes on board. Seeing whales, dolphins, and birds all in one tour really makes it special 🐋🐬 We’re especially happy to hear the Hidden Beach add-on was worth it for you—it truly is a unique and beautiful experience. On behalf of our crew, thank you for the kind words about their attentiveness and service. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back the next time you’re in Puerto Vallarta!

Great Trip with my Family

Michael_L, Feb 2026
I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a full day on the water. First, the staff and food were amazing! Second, we saw so many whales and that alone made the trip special. Unfortunately, a couple things to note. We started 45 minutes late and had some engine troubles, so by the time we got to the islands the tide was too high and we didn’t get to go to the beach. I also found the snorkeling was a bit disappointing- I found it a bit rushed and the water was murky. Still a great day and the staff made up for the shortfalls

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you, Michael, for sharing your experience and for recommending our tour to other families. We’re really happy to hear that the crew, food, and whale sightings made the day special for you — those moments are exactly what we aim to deliver. We sincerely apologize for the late departure and the mechanical issue that affected the timing of the visit to the islands. Unfortunately, tide conditions at the Hidden Beach are strictly regulated for safety, and delays can sometimes make access impossible despite our best efforts. We also appreciate your honest feedback on the snorkeling; ocean conditions can vary daily, and we understand how that can impact the experience. Most importantly, we’re grateful that our team was able to step up and make the day enjoyable despite those challenges. Your feedback helps us continue improving, and we truly hope to welcome your family back for an even better experience next time. Warm regards, **Gil Drory, Owner**

My fiance & I highly...

Jahaira_P, Jan 2026
My fiance & I highly highly recommend this for sure ! Everything was just so worth it . The staff was incredibly amazing and so sweet . The vibes was so on point ! We did the hidden beach and omg please do that if you have the chance too . Big advice is bring something to protect your phone from the water since there’s a lot swimming involved. The food they provide always so good ! I can’t wait to come back .

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for the love and for taking the time to share this amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your fiancé had such a memorable day with us and felt those good vibes from start to finish. Our crew will be so happy to know their kindness and energy made such an impact. And yes — Hidden Beach really is an OMG kind of experience! 😍 Great tip about protecting phones too — there’s definitely plenty of swimming and adventure involved. We’re so glad you enjoyed the food and the overall experience, and we truly can’t wait to welcome you both back for another unforgettable day on the water. Warm regards, Gil Drory, Owner

Excellent Crew

Mike_H, Jan 2026
A great excursion, we had a 5 year old with us and it was wonderful how they interacted with her and helped! Truly a fantastic crew!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much, Mike! We’re thrilled to hear your family had a great time and that our crew helped make the experience special for your 5-year-old. Creating a fun, safe, and welcoming environment for guests of all ages is something we truly care about, so your kind words about the crew mean a lot to us. We really appreciate you choosing Chica Locca Tours and hope to welcome your family back for another adventure soon! Gil Drory Owner, Chica Locca Tours

Cannot get in the water at all without a life jacket

Eva_T, Jan 2026
We got two emails telling us not to be late for the person meeting us to arrive 10 minutes late. He then proceeded to tell us to hurry up and get on the bus. Our tour was from Sayulita, it was a 50 minute bus to the start and then back (back had traffic). The boat takes more than an hour to get to the island, which is fine. Crew was going everyone drinks and passed out “breakfast”. Breakfast was a bit of fruit and a mini muffin, no protein and no coffee. Wish we would have known and would have packed better food for ourselves. Worst part was you are required to wear a life jacket at ALL TIMES while in the water, even for just jumping off the boat, which was a big bummer. Also the life jackets were ill fitting, chafing and itchy. Of course the crew was very nice, handing out lots of drinks and helping you around and on and off the boat.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you, Eva, for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We truly appreciate hearing both what you enjoyed and where the experience fell short for you. We’re glad to hear that our crew made you feel well cared for on board — their friendliness, attentiveness, and focus on guest safety is something we’re very proud of. That said, we’re genuinely sorry that several aspects of the tour caused frustration. Regarding the **life jackets**, this requirement is set by **Marietas Islands National Park authorities**, and it applies to *all operators without exception*. We understand that this can feel limiting, especially for strong swimmers, and we agree that comfort matters — your comments about fit and chafing are taken seriously and will be shared with our operations team to improve equipment quality and sizing. We also appreciate your honesty about the **breakfast offering**. Your feedback is fair, and we agree that clearer pre-tour communication about what’s included would help guests plan better, especially for early departures. We’ll be reviewing how this is explained in our confirmations. As for transportation and timing, departures from Sayulita do involve longer transfers, and while traffic can be unpredictable, we understand how that can impact the overall feel of the day. We’re sorry if the boarding process felt rushed — that’s certainly not the tone we aim to set at the start of any experience. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. Reviews like yours help us improve, and we hope that despite the frustrations, you were still able to enjoy the beauty of the islands and the care shown

It was amazing! The crew...

Lorena_L, Jan 2026
It was amazing! The crew was so friendly and fun. They offered great margaritas and some snacks. For weather reason we weren’t able to go to the beach but we watched some whales and dolphins and had so much fun with the water activities

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Lorena! We’re so happy to hear you had an amazing time with our crew and enjoyed the fun atmosphere, great margaritas, and snacks. While we know it’s disappointing when weather conditions don’t allow access to the beach, we’re glad it didn’t take away from your day and that you still had a blast with the water activities—and even better, got to see both whales and dolphins 🐋🐬. Those moments truly make the experience special. Thank you for choosing Chica Locca Tours. We’d love to welcome you back again, hopefully under perfect beach conditions next time! Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner, Chica Locca Tours

Highly recommended. Awesome tour!

Sandra_G, Jan 2026
Awesome tour. Good food and fun. Also got to see dolphins and whales on this trip! Highly recommended

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for the great review, Sandra! We’re thrilled to hear you had an awesome time on our Marietas Islands All-Inclusive Tour. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the food, the fun atmosphere, and the overall experience—and spotting both dolphins and whales is always an unforgettable bonus 🐬🐋. Our crew works hard to make sure every guest has a memorable day on the water, so feedback like this truly means a lot to us. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure with Chica Locca Tours very soon. Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner, Chica Locca Tours

Pv fun

Jan_E, Jan 2026
Nice to know how long it takes to get there. Nice to know that one has to swim to shore. Fun activities. Great crew.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, Jan! We’re glad to hear you had fun on the Marietas Islands tour and that you enjoyed the activities and our great crew—they truly work hard to make every trip memorable. We also appreciate your notes about the travel time and swimming to shore. That’s very helpful feedback, and we always aim to set clear expectations so guests feel fully prepared and can enjoy the adventure to the fullest. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back on board for another fun day on the water in Puerto Vallarta! Warm regards, Gil Drory, Owner

Had a great time.

Patricia_l, Jan 2026
Even solo the make you feel included and will NOT let you fall off a mountain if they can help it (ask me how I know) I had a wonderful time and would love to go again. I would add, if you plan to see the waterfalls, even if you are taking an ATV...bring hiking or running shoes or your flip flops might slip or slide and send you flying off a mountain.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hi Patricia, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We love hearing that even traveling solo, you felt included and well taken care of — our crew truly looks out for every guest. We’re glad you had a wonderful time and enjoyed the adventure, especially the waterfall portion. Your advice about bringing proper shoes is spot on and will definitely help future guests, ATV or not. Knowing you’d love to go again means a lot to us, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back for another unforgettable day. Gil Drory, Owner

There are more passengers...

Shira_S, Jan 2026
There are more passengers than expected - 10 less passengers would have been more comfortable. The staff is great although the food is average at best. They do not provide kid-size snorkeling gear so bring your own. The music is very loud should you be sensitive to that. It is a long day so be prepared with sunscreen, towels, hat. There is a small indoor mall next to the meeting point where you can get almost anything you need.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate hearing both what you enjoyed and where you felt improvements could be made. We’re glad to hear you found our staff great—our crew works very hard to take care of guests throughout the day, and your recognition means a lot. We also appreciate your honest comments regarding passenger comfort, food, music volume, and snorkeling gear for children. These are important points, and feedback like this helps us continue refining the experience. Our Marietas tour is a full-day adventure designed to balance fun, comfort, and exploration, but we understand that preferences vary. Music volume, seating comfort, and food offerings are all areas we regularly review, and your input is valuable as we do so. We also appreciate you mentioning the preparation tips for future guests, such as sunscreen and towels, and the convenience of the nearby mall. Thank you again for choosing Chica Locca Tours and for sharing your perspective. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide an even better experience next time. Warm regards, Gil Drory, Owner

The crew was very...

newtimber, Jan 2026
The crew was very attentive and the atmosphere fun. The boat ride out is an hour each way, but that didn’t seem to matter too much - people were having fun.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re happy to hear that you found the crew very attentive and the atmosphere fun—that’s exactly the vibe we aim to create on board. You’re absolutely right that the ride out to the Marietas is about an hour each way, and we love hearing that the time flew by because everyone was enjoying themselves. Great music, friendly service, drinks flowing, and beautiful scenery can make all the difference. We truly appreciate you choosing Chica Locca Tours and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day on the water soon. Warm regards, Gil Drory, Owner

Best day ever!

Rachael_E, Jan 2026
It was the highlight of our trip! Would recommend to anyone! Snorkeling was our favorite part of it. But all of it was a blast! Perfect for kids, would be fun with out kids as well :)

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Reading this truly means the world to us. Knowing this was the best tour you’ve ever taken and that you felt great value in every part of the experience is incredibly rewarding. Luis and Ricky will be thrilled to hear your kind words, as will the rest of the crew. Trust in the captain is something we take very seriously, and sharing such special whale moments, especially a mom and baby, is always unforgettable. Thank you for your enthusiasm, your trust, and for taking the time to share such heartfelt feedback.

Book it!

Catherine_B, Dec 2025
This was a highlight of our family trip! The crew was so much fun, and the day was packed with events. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

I’m so happy to hear this was a highlight of your family trip. Our crew loves creating days that are energetic, fun, and full of memorable moments, so it’s great to know that came through. Packing the day with activities while keeping everything smooth and enjoyable is something we take a lot of pride in. Thank you for the strong recommendation and for choosing to spend such a special day on the water with us.

The best tour.

Blakelee_S, Dec 2025
It was absolutely amazing. I don’t think anything could have made it better. We did not go more than 2 minutes without a drink in hand, and the food was really good. Staff was so helpful and kind. They even stoped for a decent amount of time to let us look at the whales. I would 10/10 recommend them to anyone. Such a great expirience.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you so much, Blakelee, for the amazing review and for calling it *“The best tour”* — that truly means everything to us! 🌊🐋 We’re thrilled to hear that your day at the Marietas Islands was absolutely perfect and that our crew kept you well taken care of every step of the way. From great food and attentive service to making time to enjoy the whales, those moments are exactly what we love creating for our guests.

We truly appreciate you choosing Chica Locca Tours and hope to have you back for another incredible boat day soon. Gil Drory, Owner

Very beautiful and so much fun!

Michelle_J, Dec 2025
It is amazing! They take very good care of you. There’s drinks and food, even snacks. Comfy seating. Great views. Clean facilities. The island is sandy with caves to explore. So much fun! Do the slide. Jump in. Snorkel. It’s for everyone.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you, Michelle! I’m so happy to hear you had such a beautiful and fun day with us at the Marietas Islands.

Experience

Anjali_N, Nov 2025
It was just amazing as it was first time for my husband and me to access the hidden beach, we have done other water activities elsewhere as well, but the hidden beach was just fantastic for the given fact because we had to swim till there!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Anjali! I’m thrilled to hear that your first visit to the Hidden Beach was such a memorable one — it’s truly a special place, and the swim to get there makes it even more unique and rewarding. I’m glad you and your husband enjoyed the adventure and that it stood out even compared to other water activities you’ve done before. We love helping guests experience these incredible natural wonders in a fun, safe, and unforgettable way. We’d be honored to welcome you both back on board for another adventure in the future! — Gil Drory, Owner

Warning! Good, but you must be physically capable of jumping out of a John boat into ocean waves for activities.

Kim_V, Nov 2025
The staff were amazing. The food was great. The activities included floating at a beach, hanging out by the boat, and snorkeling. Warning! You are expected to jump out of a John boat to participate in the floating beach and snorkeling activities. Even though there was a ladder in the boat, and we asked to use it for our mother, everyone had to still jump out. This was not easy and caused pain.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you, Kim, for taking the time to share this detailed and honest review. I’m truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the crew, food, and the beauty of the Marietas — our team works hard to create a great experience for every guest. That said, I really appreciate you highlighting the challenge your mother faced during the water-entry portion of the tour. While Marietas is a protected national park with strict regulations on how boats can approach the islands, we fully understand that physical comfort and safety are essential. Your feedback is incredibly important, and I’ll be reviewing this with our team to make sure we’re communicating the activity requirements even more clearly, as well as looking at how we can better support guests who need additional assistance getting in and out of the water. Thank you again for sharing your experience. We’re always striving to improve, and feedback like yours helps us continue delivering the level of care and service our guests deserve. — Gil Drory, Owner

We hope to welcome you aboard again soon for another amazing adventure!

Nice day trip by boat to Marieta island

Christine_Z, Oct 2025
Great crew, good drinks and decent food. I enjoyed the boat trip a lot. May be it would be possible to offer „young sixties“ to use the ladder to get off the boat. By jumping off the boat I got saltwater in my ears and nose, which spoiled my day a bit. My friend enjoyed swimming and snorkeling a lot, I did not like the obligatory life jackets . Mine was not possible to adjust properly so that swimming was no fun…. Otherwise: GREAT DAY

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the day, the crew, and the service on board. I appreciate your comments about water entry and the life jackets — comfort and accessibility are very important to us, and we’ll review these points with our team to improve the experience for guests of all ages and abilities. Despite those challenges, I’m glad the overall trip was still a great one. We hope to welcome you back for an even better visit next time!

Great day on the ocean...

Erik_M, Oct 2025
Great day on the ocean with exceptional service. Fun for families and friends to visit the beautiful Marietta Islands.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad you had a great day out on the water and that our crew helped make the experience enjoyable for everyone. The Marietas Islands are such a beautiful place to explore, and it’s wonderful to hear the day was fun for both family and friends. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon for more ocean adventures!

Not worth it at all.

Arpit_A, Oct 2025
Not worth it. The staff were amazing, but the island in itself was not worth visiting. They don't take you to the round cave island. It is just a small island with a tiny little beach. Definitely worth skipping.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re very glad to hear that our crew took great care of you, but we’re sorry the destination didn’t meet your expectations. Access to the hidden beach is tightly controlled by the National Park and depends on daily permits and ocean conditions, which means we can’t always include it in the experience. We truly appreciate your perspective and will use it to continue improving. If you decide to join us again, we’d love the chance to provide a day that fully delivers on what you’re looking for.

So much fun!

Tobie_S, Jul 2025
Amazing from start to finish. The staff makes it so much fun and takes very good care of your needs. This is my third time out with Chico Loco and will go every time. I’m in Sayulita!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you, Tobie, for your amazing loyalty—joining us three times from Sayulita is the ultimate compliment! We're delighted that each adventure—from snorkeling to our Marietas Islands tour—has proven consistently fun and well cared-for. Guests, especially repeat visitors, often praise our crew’s energy, safety-first attitude, and ability to mix informative guidance with nonstop entertainment. Knowing you're already a returning guest truly motivates our team to raise the bar every time. We can’t wait to have you back onboard for your next unforgettable day on the water!

Great day! Highly recommend!

Sandi_F, Jun 2025
Everything was top notch from our pick up in Sayulita to the boat trip itself. Raul kept the vibes and the drinks flowing. The food was very good. They served fruit and a muffin for breakfast and a delicious fajita lunch with rice and beans for lunch after our time on the island. The island activities were well thought out and timed. A third of the boat swam and had access to a variety of water toys while the other two groups either snorkeled or spent time on a beach. We rotated through the three activities and had plenty to time to enjoy each one. The boat crew was very attentive and knowledgeable about the island and why it is so special. Great day. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you, Sandi! It sounds like you had the full Chica Locca experience—seamless service from Sayulita to the Marietas Islands, fun island activities, delicious food, and a crew that keeps the good vibes flowing! Raul and the team will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We’re so happy everything felt well-paced and well-organized—it’s exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate your recommendation and can’t wait to have you back onboard for more unforgettable memories! With gratitude, Gil Drory, Owner

Thank you so much, Perla! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time on our Marietas Islands tour. Our crew works hard to make sure everyone feels cared for and safe—especially when out enjoying the water—so it means a lot to know you noticed their attentiveness and experience. We’d love to welcome you back aboard for another unforgettable day soon! Warm regards, Gil Drory, Owner
