Should be called party cruise
Mark_D
, Mar 2020
So the bright spot in this was the crew, who were very attentive and friendly. Other than that, they should probably call this a party cruise. There were entirely too many people on this boat, with a short snorkeling excursion. After snorkeling with the million people in orange vests, then it was about an hour wait in line for food. We were in the back of the line, so we just got the scraps that everyone had already touched. They have a little beach they take you too afterwards, but for some reason, we all just floated on the boat for an hour and a half trying to get lunch. Would have made more sense in organization and time to have lunch on the beach. On top, the alcohol flowed like water and about 1/4 of the boat was drunk as hell. Some people were throwing up in their cups and stumbling around. Waste of money and time.

From beginning to end, this excursion was so much fun. The crew were great, it was well organised and worth every penny. We've booked again for later this week. Nothing at all to quibble about

Great tour

The entire day was well planned. There were three disctinct activities - snorkeling in the Mariettas, kayaking (could have been longer) and then a secluded beach spot. All were great and all in one trip. On the way back the open bar was a surprise, but the biggest surprise was the really delightful show that the crew put on. All in all a great tour.

Too short of time at Marietas!!

The experience was a very pleasant day, however, we were only at the Marietas Island for less than an hour. We spent more time at the secondary location that is owned by Vallarta Adventures. I believe that the title of their adventure is misleading.

If you like being surrounded by hundreds of people in orange life jackets then this is the tour for you. The only reason I did not give this tour 1 star is because the staff on the boat were amazing. The main guide Isa was hilarious and did a great job during the tour.

We took this snorkel cruise on a Sunday morning - beautiful weather, friendly staff and amazing scenery. For late January, we saw approximately a dozen different whales and dozens of dolphins on our way to the snorkel spot. We spent about an hour and a half snorkeling - be ready with your gear as you approach the dive spot to help maximize your time in the water and be sure to take a look at your boat to help identify it when you are swimming back to it. By the time we headed back to the boat there were 2 or 3 other boats in the area and you need to be sure to swim to the right boat! On board the staff was fantastic - constantly serving drinks and the meal was great as well. The trip to the private beach was also great - drinks, an opportunity to swim, sunbathe, or do various other activities. I would highly recommend this excursion to anybody visiting PV!
