Itinerary

Admission included120 min

We depart around 9 am from Marina Vallarta. At just 10 minutes, the Ameca river provides great views and is the perfect spot to find some dolphins having breakfast. After the first 15 minutes we arrive downtown, but during the winter, the ocean provides great wildlife on the way out like dolphins, turtles, manta rays and whales. Arriving at Los Arcos National Park we will provide the snorkel gear and we will teach you how to use the gear and life jackets and provide some important information to improve your in-water skills to make your activity fun and safe.

It was a more personal...

It was a more personal dive with full snorkel equipment. Lots of other “snorkel tours” give you a mask and snorkel but no fins. Eric our guide was great and we saw four turtles plus tons of beautiful fish. It was a great experience. Emilio our captain was great as well.

Happy and Safe

It was amazing! We saw so many fish and our captian erik and tour guide rodrigo were both so friendly and nice. Rodrigo knew so many facts about the area and fish. We felt safe with these two!

Great Snorkelling Experience.

What a great experience. We arrived by cruise and were welcomed by the full team at their office (walk is 20 mins or take a taxi 7 minutes from the terminal) Rodrigo and captain Lekker Lekker really took care of us and spent a lot of time explaining the local birdlife in the diving (El Arcos) reserve. Whilst we were snorkelling (this was only our second snorkelling excursion) Rodrigo was continually attentive. One of our group is hard of hearing and Rodrigo was great. This tour is highly recommended for beginners groups as well as relative experts as Rodrigo knows his business. We saw many schools of fish, manta rays, numerous species of fish. On the way back we were taken along the coastline. Highly recommended.

It was so nice to have Erik teaching us about the history, culture and all of the animals in and out of the ocean. Hector and Jael were fabulous at making us feel comfortable and safe. Highly recommend!
