Highlights

Welcome aboard our All-Inclusive Mega Catamaran!

It's the perfect blend of adventure and fun, with a premium open bar and tasty fresh food included all day. Your day, your way. There's no fixed plan, so you create your own. Spend your time at the beach, at the waterfall, in Yelapa, or simply relax on board, play in the ocean and soak up the sun.

  • 2Booze cruise, el they work on tips

    The tour is known to canceling your “excursions” if it’s not filling up to capacity it will refund your ticket or offer a cruise they have that is being booked. Have to take out two separate excursion. He didn’t purchase the excursion he thought for going on, but they did give us an option to cancel.

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.
