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!

Fun day out

Josh_M, May 2026
Fun day out. Its out of nayarit so if coming from Puerto Vallarta expect long expensive cab rides. Only downside. We'll worth it.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your review and for joining us on the Marietas Islands adventure! I’m so glad to hear you had a fun day out and felt the experience was well worth it. We truly appreciate you mentioning the transportation consideration as well — it’s helpful feedback for future guests planning their trip.

Thank you again for spending your day with us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon! Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner 🌊🐋

Amazing day trip. Went beyond our expectations

jacqueline_c, May 2026
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!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for this wonderful review, and congratulations on your wedding! 🎉 We’re honored you chose to spend part of such a special time with us after your wedding in Sayulita. I’m so happy to hear the experience was the perfect mix of relaxation, fun, and adventure — exactly what we hope every couple enjoys out on the water. It’s great to know you felt comfortable and had space to enjoy time together while our crew helped make everything easy and stress-free. And I love that the onboard photographer allowed you to stay present in the moment instead of worrying about taking photos yourselves. Those memories are so special, and I’m thrilled you loved the pictures! Thank you again for celebrating with us, and we hope to welcome you both back again someday for another unforgettable adventure together. Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner 🌊💙

Chica Loca boat trip to Marietta’s Islands which were only rocks.

Norma_G, Apr 2026
Crew very nice. Food just OK. Drinks were plentiful. Snorkeling was very poor visibility. No coral, some blurry fish. I have been on a much better Chica Loca tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for joining us again. I’m glad to hear you found the crew very nice and enjoyed the plentiful drinks, though I’m sorry this experience did not live up to your previous tour with us. The Marietas Islands are a protected national park known more for their unique rock formations, wildlife, caves, and marine ecosystem than for coral reefs specifically, and ocean visibility can vary greatly depending on weather, tides, and sea conditions on any given day. Unfortunately, snorkeling conditions are something we cannot fully control. That said, we truly appreciate your honest comments regarding the food and snorkeling experience. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving wherever we can. We’re grateful you’ve experienced another tour with us that you enjoyed more, and we hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back again and provide the kind of unforgettable day you’ve had with us before. Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner

First off Dave who...

Jeremy_F, Apr 2026
First off Dave who coordinated our reservation in Sayulita was awesome! Our son got sick the day we were supposed to take our tour, and Dave helped us reschedule to another day later in the trip. On the boat, Alex and his crew were incredible. Alex really helped us appreciate the importance of protecting the Islands. At the same time his whole crew took amazing care of us and the whole experience was amazing.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! I’m really glad Dave was able to help you reschedule — we always do our best to be flexible, especially when family comes first. I hope your son was feeling much better by the time you made it out with us. It’s wonderful to hear that Alex and the crew made such a strong impression. Sharing the importance of protecting the Marietas while still creating a fun, memorable experience is exactly what we aim for, so it means a lot that it resonated with you. I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to both Dave and Alex — they’ll truly appreciate it. Thank you again for your trust and for choosing to spend your time with us. We hope to welcome your family back again for another amazing day on the water! Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner

Great Island Excursion

Zachary_D, Apr 2026
Another great excursion from Chica Locca, everything was exactly as described. 10/10. Crew was fantastic and made sure everyone was safe.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for the awesome review! “Another great excursion” and a 10/10 — we truly appreciate your continued trust in us!

We look forward to welcoming you back again for your next adventure on the water! Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner

It was the best tour yet!

Lan_D, Apr 2026
I cannot say enough great words for the staff. Black party buses picked us up from Sayulita and shuttled us to Puerto Vallarta to the bigger boat. We were waited on left and right, I never had an empty cup in my hand and the food was quite tasty. The staff helped my younger son into the water and even stayed with him in the water while he took his first snorkel trip. I was told by a local that this is by far the most superior of tours to Marietas Island/snorkeling. The boat was great and well equipped with slides down both sides of the boat, plenty of paddleboards, and kayaks. It was the best tour yet!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for this incredible review! “It was the best tour yet” — that truly means a lot to all of us. I’m especially happy to hear how well the team took care of your family, and that your son had such a positive first snorkeling experience. Having one of our crew members stay with him in the water is exactly the kind of care and attention we strive to provide, especially for first-timers. It’s great to know everything felt seamless from the pickup in Sayulita to the time on board, with great food, drinks, and plenty of activities to enjoy. Those slides, paddleboards, and kayaks definitely make for a fun and memorable day! Hearing that even locals recommend us as a top experience for the Marietas makes us very proud — and we’re grateful you chose to spend your day with us. We hope to welcome you and your family back again for another unforgettable adventure! Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner

This is a must do tour!

Colleen_M, Mar 2026
Saul and his team really had this tour well organized and they made the whole trip enjoyable. Such an interesting place to visit. Saw whales and dolphins which was exciting. Water was magnificent and refreshing. Food and drinks were great and the staff came around often to make sure you were well taken care of. Water activities were great. Really an incredible and unforgettable tour. This is a must do experience on your list!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for this amazing review! “Must do tour” — we love hearing that! I’m thrilled you had such an incredible and unforgettable experience at the Marietas Islands. Saul and the team will be so happy to hear your kind words. Keeping everything well organized while making the day fun and seamless is exactly what they strive for, and it’s great to know you felt well taken care of throughout the trip. Whales *and* dolphins in one day is always something special, and I’m glad you got to enjoy the beautiful, refreshing water along with all the activities. Thank you again for the recommendation and for choosing to spend your day with us. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another unforgettable adventure! Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner 🐋🌊

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

Thank you so much for the great review!

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

Amazing experience!

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! Warm regards, Gil Drory, Owner

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

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

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!

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.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that your day with us—from the comfortable transportation out of Sayulita to the moment you stepped off the boat—was everything you hoped for. Our crew will be so happy to know their warm welcome, attentive service, and focus on safety helped make your adventure special. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the food, activities, and the beauty of the Marietas… plus whales, a turtle, and all those amazing birds — what an unforgettable day on the bay! We truly appreciate you choosing Chica Locca Tours and hope to have you back for another incredible boat day soon. Gil Drory, Owner

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.
