    It was our first time in Puerto Vallarta and we really wanted to go snorkeling while we were here. When we saw snorkeling plus visiting 6 beaches we thought this would be the perfect guided trip. While snorkeling at the first beach we stopped at, I mistakingly swam to some rocks to try to catch my breath. When I put my foot down I stepped on a sea urchin which pierced deep into my skin. Our tour guide Alex was prepared. He pulled out a bag with everything that was needed to start disinfecting and pulling out pieces of the sea urchin from my foot. He sat there for over 30 minutes and managed to pull everything out which allowed me to walk normally and finish the rest of the hike. Aside from my mishap, Alex was also very informative when it came to local spots that were good and he was very funny and easy going. Alex was very easy to converse with and very likable. Thank you Alex for being the best tour guide and for helping me with my foot.

    Huge shout out to Alex! He was amazing and very helpful with my parents who are older but managed to do this hike! Definitely come prepared to walk and relax at the different beaches. The water along the way is amazing and I highly recommend this tour.

  • 5Best Vallarta Beach Tour!

    Absolutely amazing experience! This hike was a blast, and coming during the rainy season is bound to add to the adventure. Rocco was extremely kind, personable and knowledgeable. The group had a blast traveling by foot and/or water taxi (I very much appreciated the option to skip the first leg and water taxi directly to the first beach, this allowed more room for fun for my bad knee.) The restaurant we ate at was super hospitable, they gave us cool towels and the opportunity to shower the sand off our feet before we ate. Cannot recommend this tour enough! Thank you Rocco!!

  • 4It was fun! We saw some...

    It was fun! We saw some beautiful beaches and the hike really wasn't that bad (a little up and down but if you hike, you'll be fine) - we wore hiking sandals and it was fine! The beaches were SO busy (Sunday). One star less because the restaurant we went to at the end was a little meh and we were there for about an hour too long (it was pretty busy) - it was just too long on that bit. Overall we had a good time but I don't know that I'd do it again.

About Puerto Vallarta

Cobbled streets, a seaside boardwalk and jungle-clad mountains give Puerto Vallarta, on Mexico's Banderas Bay, its easy Pacific charm.

The Malecón, a long seafront boardwalk lined with bronze sculptures, links the old town with restaurants, bars and galleries, and the parish church of Guadalupe crowns the centre with its distinctive crown-topped tower. The Romantic Zone, south of the Cuale River, has cobbled lanes, Los Muertos Beach and its pier, and a lively evening scene.

Top-ranked sights in Puerto Vallarta: Banderas Bay (Bahía de Banderas), El Malecon, Los Arcos National Marine Park.
