We spent a lot of time swimming and playing with the various animals. The water was perfect! The boat ride was fun, and all of the food and drinks were included, except tips. Great time!

All of the staff were incredibly friendly; we snorkeled, paddle board, zip lined and rode on the banana boat.. all of it was fun and the area was beautiful! The sea lions should have a larger enclosure.

Amazing Experience - Best tour in Puerto Vallarta!

Sergio and Chai made our entire trip. Chai and his crew were excellent for the transportation and Sergio not only provided us with a great cooking experience, but after we were done, he went above and beyond by giving us an extended private tour. Top Notch Service!

Las Caletas is beautiful. Lots of activities. We got a massage. It was the best. I just wish we had more time there. The departure is way too early. Atleast for us it was. We wanted more time.

The marine encounter with the stingrays and Rex the sea lion. Our marine specialist, Angel was fantastic!

I would have given 5 stars if we had 45 minutes longer after we had lunch to spend time on the beach to relax and go to the interactive bird center before heading back. Other than that, the activities were fun and all crew members were super fun and personable.

Excellent tour, so much to do

dyingtogetaway

, Dec 2019

Our 3 adult kids, husband and I loved this tour. There's so much to do, we did run out of time since the boat ride each way is about 45 minutes. Loved the meal at the end. Especially loved the adult beach with hammocks and bar:) We snorkeled (not many pretty fish though), paddle-boarded, loved the zip-line into the ocean, the water slide and the very animated employees. Be sure to keep some cash with you to tip them!

Highly recommend this tour

This was a nice way to spend the day if you want to get away from your hotel. The tour company have really got this down, staff is pleasant and helpful, food is plentiful and good, and although there can be a lot of people it didn't seem like it. They have a lot of activities to appeal to everyone. I went to the cooking show, it was entertaining.

Catherine A

, Oct 2017

The day of the tour it was literally pouring outside and they didn't cancel, which would have been preferable since it rained most of the day and we were limited to what activities we could do. They even delayed leaving the dock since it was raining so hard, which was a good time to cancel. It didn't clear up till we were leaving of course and the show they put on for the ride back was, in my opinion, unnecessary. They could have just played music and that would have been fine. Also, we could not understand a word that the guide was saying, the sound system could use some work as it was all muffled. Would definitely not do this tour. There are other activities that are much better.

We loved this excursion! The boat staff was amazing and the location was so beautiful and relaxing. They had something for everyone and we really enjoyed the extra's we did the sea lions were the highlight of our trip. If you know going in that you are going to buy the photos, have them take as many as you can so that you get your money's worth!
