This was a super fun experience. Felix was super knowledgeable & friendly! Visibility in the snorkel area was pretty good & we got to see a turtle on the way back! The one thing I’ll say is that the paddle out to the islands was a lot more intense that what the reviews lead me to believe. Definitely worth the paddle but left feeling exhausted, make sure you are physically capable before booking! Overall great experience and would definitely do it again!
Absolutely incredible experience! Felix and Johny were great! The Paddle board is not to hard and you get to go inside caves. The snorkeling was awesome so many fish!
We loved Felix! My sister and I did the activity together. Felix was on time to pick us up, we drove to Mismaloya beach and headed out to Los arcos on our paddleboards. Felix was super friendly and helpful, he gauged our experience and gave us tips. We are both decently in shape and used to being in the ocean, so it was a pretty easy paddle for us. The arches are super cool, we saw a bunch of manta rays and a few sea turtles! And a bunch of cool fish while snorkeling at the arches. Felix has some kind of superpower where he can spot marine life from an incredible distance, which is very helpful. He brought snorkel gear, granola bars, and bottles of water for us, which was greatly appreciated. Overall awesome experience, definitely my favorite activity we did on our trip.
Felix was a wonderful guide and made the experience so much fun! We saw all sorts of birds, fish, turtles, manta rays, etc!
Fantastic! 1 mi paddle board and snorkel, be ready to work hard and leave everything behind in the truck. Wonderful guides, highly recommend!
Fantastic! You definitely want to be physically active for this one because you paddleboard a full mile, no boat out to the snorkeling, but it's so much fun and Felix is a wonderful guide. Note that you need to be ready to leave everything in the truck because you really only have the paddle board to maybe secure a hat to or something while you snorkel. So much fun and definitely the way I'd want to snorkel in Vallarta again!
If you’re looking for a more personal experience with a bit of adventure, this is the snorkelling tour for you. You get to have some fun paddling to and from Los Arcos while still getting to see all the fish when you stop to snorkel. Being on paddle boards you get to access caves and areas that the bigger boats can’t. It’s a much more relaxed vibe without the constant drone of the motor of a boat. It’s a bit of a challenge, but you feel a sense of accomplishment when you’re done. Highly recommended!
Although our taxi driver was a bit nervous about dropping us off on some random street in the middle of town, everything turned out extraordianarily well! Felix was so relaxed and friendly and made the day really special! It was so much fun to paddle board to Los Arcos and then spend the morning snorkeling. We saw whales, turtles, all kinds of fish, birds and more. I highly recommend this tour!
Felix is the best guide ever. Anything you need for an excursion he can look after. Or find someone who can. 🙂👍
Felix was timely, friendly and professional. We had a great time paddle boarding Los Arcos with him as our guide. Muchas gracias, Felix!
