Review of Puerto Vallarta's 5-hour luxury yacht and snorkel cruise to Majahuitas, with lunch, paddleboards, premium drinks, and practical tips.
“We had a great time on this adventure! My wife and I got there about 30 minutes early, paid our 40 pesos (per person) fee and headed to Vallarta Adventures. It’s a little messy getting into the port, but once in, the crew is fabulous. We sailed for about an hour to go snorkel, then headed to a private beach that serves hibiscus water and beer, and headed back to port while eating a charcuterie lunch and consumed adult beverages. They take great pictures of you the whole trip and you can buy the digital package for $100 US at the end (totally worth it.) All in all, a great…”

“Amazing crew, friendly, fun, and impeccable service! The boat was comfortable and easy to lounge on. Got enough wind to sail for the last few hours. It was our second time with Sailing Adventures. They earned their 5 stars!”
Review of Puerto Vallarta’s Marietas Islands catamaran tour, with snorkeling, meals, kayaks, open bar, fees, timing, and practical advice.
“We were very disappointed in this experience. The boat was beyond shabby. The crew although very nice did not consistently accommodate for non Mexican speaking people. There were unknown fees to tour the Island. ( never revealed until you were on the boat moving!) The breakfast was adequate. The trip to the island was pleasant however the snorkeling time was ridiculously short (20 minutes max) Be prepared if you wish to go to the beach island as the swim from the small boat to the shoreline was long and difficult. When in the beautiful Island you were very limited to what you could do! The time spent was a maximum…”

Nico was very fast to get drinks and provide what we wanted while with them! Thank you for a wonderful sunset cruise and we are so happy we saw Whales!!”
Cruise Puerto Vallarta’s Bay of Banderas on a luxury yacht with lunch, open bar, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and time at Majahuitas Cove.
“This activity was great. We had trouble finding some details though, so going to provide more here. Our hotel was close to Puerto Mágico so we walked there. We had to arrive by 8, you go through and pay for the harbor fee, then through a metal detector. The boat leaves at 8:30 AM. The boat is beautiful! Lots of places for lounging. Our boat had about 25 people on it but it didn’t feel crowded. 4 bathrooms on board. Started with a fruit snack, saw a ton of whales and dolphins, boated for an hour, snorkeled about 30 min, boated to another area where there was an island to…”
Review of Puerto Vallarta’s Yelapa catamaran tour, with snorkeling, beach lunch, waterfall hike, water sports, and an open bar.
“We loved the whole experience. The lines to pay your resort fees were very long and were a little rushed getting to the boat. However the line was fast. (arrive earlier than 930). The boat was great, food was amazing. Just be prepared if you get seasick as you feel it more on a small boat vs a cruise. First stop was fun, however felt short when doing kayaking, paddling or snorkeling. You were only able to choose one. It’s also not close to the sand so you’re only able to stay near the boat. Last stop was Yelapas. You get the option to use an atv, horse (you pay…”
Review of Puerto Vallarta’s gay-owned sunset yacht cruise, with a premium open bar, fresh appetizers, Bay of Banderas views, and practical booking tips.
“This was a fantastic sunset cruise and the highlight of our vacation. We've been on many other day cruises and this was by far the best. The owner, captain, and crew were outstanding and extremely attentive. The drinks and hors d’oeuvres were delicious. We saw several whale breaches and a big variety of birds. The sunset was beautiful. The tour guide was very experienced and knowledgeable about everything we saw. We had a great time and learned a lot about the area and nature.”

Review of Puerto Vallarta’s Marietas Islands cruise with breakfast, lunch, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and an open bar.
“The crew was amazing! Very fun and helpful. My family of 6 had a great time with kids ages 8-15. I loved not having to worry about food or drinks. Everything was taken care of. You can't actually go on the island, but you can snorkel by jumping off the back on the ship or take a speed boat around for the eco tour or just relax on the boat. On the way back from the island we had another stop at a beach where we could kayak or SUP. The ride to the island was about 2 hours each way, but we saw multiple whales along the way! Incredible.…”
