Great Experience - Luis and Edder took great care of our family on our tour. The sea was rough that day so we had to move to another location. They made it a great experience for us. Fantastic service and they were really good with our young children as well. We highly recommend!

Great for private charters - Awesome private rental for four hours. Casper, Roberto and Alonso were an incredible crew and they dropped us off for our next leg of vacation in Yelapa.

Fabulous tour - fun vibes and knowledgeable crew! - We took a four hour private tour during our bachelorette party weekend. Our focus was whale watching, but the crew made it clear we could do whatever we wanted. They did not disappoint! They were great at finding plenty of whale and dolphin sightings, and kept the music and cocktails rolling to keep Our party entertained. We stopped at a beach for a swim and fresh made snacks (which were delicious) and they were very accommodating with everything we needed and wanted. Highly highly highly recommend!

BEST OUTING EVER! - Eduardo and his crew were the highlight of our trip to PV and Sayulita! We have traveled these parts for years now, and can say that this team and the experience with them was top-notch! Ina ddition to the team, we happened top be oh so lucky, and within the first thirty minutes were with a pod of humpbacks. We stayed with them for over a couple hours, and the other boats were no where to be seen--like our own private show. The appetizer they made for us on our return were as good as any Nobu tuna tartare we have ever had! They are simply very personable, easy to communicate with, professional and kind! Thank you, Eduardo and Team! We cannot recommend you more highly!

Amazing experience with great staff - We rode the Banana Panga for a private tour with Oswaldo, Paul and Alonso. Not only was the whale watching completely mind-blowing, but the staff was super knowledgeable and friendly, kids were really happy. Food was really good too. Would recommend 10/10

Christmas Eve cetaceans... - Eduardo (aka Reuben), Edward and Oswaldo led us directly into 3 pods of Humpbacks thirty minutes after we left port. The whales were breeching and spouting around the boat - I've never been so close! We spent the rest of our trip swimming and eating the best tuna ceviche I have ever put in my mouth. I highly recommend chica loco tours!

Perfect from start to finish! - Isiah and his crew made our trip! They brought all the stops for our friend’s 40th birthday trip…perfectly timed stops, photoshoots and even a surprise cake! Coming from a group of tour guides ourselves, we are rarely wow’ed - so I wanted to make sure this crew got their spotlight!!

Top notch experience - We booked the 6hr super panga for our friend's 40th birthday. We had a beautiful day, calm seas and absolutely amazing service. Isaiah, Luis, and Capt. Oswaldo were the difference makers...Fun, respectful, informative - and always checking in on the group to make sure we were spending the right amount of time in each place. We hiked to the waterfall in Yelapa, swam at Playa Caballo, and got some great photos at Los Arcos on the way back. They also made an amazing ceviche for our lunch. Really couldn't ask for a better day. Highly recommend! Oh, and the beer was always ice cold!

Great Family Adventure! - We booked a private tour for our family of 4 to celebrate our son's 10th birthday and had a wonderful time! We opted to try fishing for a bit and although we didn't catch anything it was absolutely worth it as we happened upon a group of dolphins with babies that were fishing the same spot we were. The crew pulled in the lines and we watched the dolphins instead. The crew also took us to a private beach where we were able to snorkel, paddle board, and explore. Our drinks were kept full, snacks plentiful, and the ceviche was on point! 100% would recommend Chica Locca to anyone visiting the area. Call Gil ahead of time and he can recommend the perfect boat and tour based on your wants and needs!
