Other than the very rough water to and from the Island, the evening was great, show was entertaining and food was excellent. We loved the skit the crew put on during the return trip. It would have been more pleasant if the departure was earlier so we could see the lovely view in semi-light.

Doing what: Las Caletas Day Tour from Puerto Vallarta
We enjoyed the tour, the staff was very accommodating, the grounds are beautiful and the lunch was excellent. Unfortunately, it seemed very short - we didn't arrive until 10:00 am and started lining up for the return trip at 2:20. There just wasn't enough time to do all of the actvities. The Viator ad/voucher says the tour includes hotel pick-up, but it doesn't. When we phoned to arrange pick-up time, we were told that we had to find our own way to the marina - unacceptable!

Doing what: Day Sailing on Banderas Bay
The service was good and the staff on and off the boat were great. Our crew was Johnny, Julio, and Carlos and they took very good care of us. I think they should encourage travelers to bring motion-sickness medicine with them. After 4 hours of rocking, most of the people were longing for dry land. Still, the tour provided great up-close visits with whales, great swimming at Los Arcos, and (as advertised) sailing only on wind power. I would definitely recommend this tour (Vallarta Adventures)

What a great experience. We had a wonderful crew both by the name of Carlos. They were quick, attentive, nice and showed our group a great time. We ended up needing two boats to accommodate our group and their crew was equally as great. We saw dolphins right away, and had a great day of sailing.
The food was beautifully presented (while I am weary of seafood - they served shrimp and some sushi rolls). The chips and guac were great and the rest of lunch was nice.
There are no complaints - the entire process was seamless - the check in desk was friendly and quick.
OVERALL HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! worth the money.

Doing what: Marietas Islands: Cavern Swim and Snorkel Cruise from Puerto Vallarta
Whole excursion was no where near 7 hrs.... If you snorkeled you were only out there for maybe 15-20 min at most...if you scuba dives it was the same.....not even worth putting on the equipment. Then we were dropped off on the island for a short stay...no sooner did they drop off the last motor boat full they were shuffling us back to the big boat. The lunch was decent... sandwiches, fruit and potato salad. We left the Marina about 11am and were back by 4pm the latest. To me it was NOT worth the money at all. Really the only plus was the guys on the boat were friendly and some funny....

We didn't know this voucher was through Vallarta Adventures or that one of this one was referred to by a new/different name (the one listed here is really called :"Rhythms of the Night"). No one could tell us where this tour was or who the provider was. (See below #3) This tour is only through Vallarta Adventures and it is not called "Sunset Cruise and Candlelight Dinner Show"! Be aware!

This was a great trip and well worth the money although if you attend a time share presentation you can get a better rate than Viator provided. Our gray Line driver took our vouchers without telling us she was not the proper contact for these trips- although she was for our transportation voucher. We hadn't called to check the 2 vouchers she took so we didn't know she didn't represent those companies as well. It made for a sloppy start to our vacation.

The evening was great! Definitely recommend this.
We had one problem with booking: we booked online for friends who were visiting PV at the same time we were in port on a cruise and had booked through the cruise. Online it looked like same day/time/event, but their tix turned out to be for a later show, No indication on the website that there were multiple shows- looked like we were booked on the same trip. With alot of wrangling, it all worked out to attend together, but almost did not- so- just a note: it would be helpful to list that there are more than one (3?) shows per evening. Thanks!
