Great sea day. Dolphins were a bonus. - We loved our day. Boat was a good size and well equipped. Captain and crew were extremely nice and very friendly. Stopped when we passed some dolphins swimming nearby who came up to swim by the boat... amazing! We stopped near a small beach for a swim....was beautiful. Lunch was really tasty. Overall, a fantastic trip. I will book again if I am back in Puerto Vallarta

Incredible unique experience with amazing crew - This was one of the best experiences our family has ever had! We did a whale and dolphin watching trip because the jelly fish were too active to swim. Francisco, our guide, was brilliant when it came to knowledge of the animals we were seeing. We saw so many whales and dolphins, including getting extremely close to the animals on several occasions. Also, our captain (Louis) and his first mate/our chef (Chilis) were so fun! Also, Chilis' guacamole was truly the best guac I've ever tasted. We will absolutely be doing this again when we return to PV and will be demanding this same team.

Amazing way to end the trip to PV! - This was such a beautiful relaxing experience. The crew was incredibly kind and fun. Our drinks were delicious and well worth adding the open bar. The chicken fajitas were also very good and fed 7 of us with ease. The spot we anchored down to swim at wasn't overcrowded and gave us an amazing tour of the coast line. Overall a very amazing way to end our trip to PV and would definitely book again.

A humpback whale greeted us! - The best excursion I’ve ever been on. I never say this. It was a beautiful day and to relax on comfortable cushions while sailing and getting served drinks and food (at a fair price) was heaven. A humpback whale came right up to us several times! The captain knew what to do (where to go, and to stop the music and motor to attract the whale). Joshua and the crew were excellent. Food was very good. We plan to take an another trip with them but to snorkel at Los Arcos next time.

Best first day in Puerto Vallarta!! - What an amazing way to spend our first day in Puerto Vallarta!! The boat was more than comfortable with plenty of room for our family of 8 to enjoy the sun, the water and the view!! We were served cold drinks, fresh fruit, chips and guacamole…all hand prepared on board. Our afternoon was spent swimming and relaxing near the beach…enjoying the beautiful ocean!! Thank you to our captain and first mate…you were both fantastic hosts!! We highly recommend this tour!!

Great for the whole family - Had a great time on the sailboat with Angel and his crew for our family of 6. We were a little late and they were very nice and accommodating about it. Angel made plenty of snacks for us - big plate of fresh fruit, chips and guac and salsa, and offered us drinks as well. We saw so many jellyfish in the ocean, and kids loved playing on the lily pad and paddleboarding. I wish we had booked more time so that we could have spent even more time in the water.

Beautiful day whale watching well with a welcoming, caring crew - A truly wonderful trip with a truly welcoming crew and marine guide. Felt very much at home in a wonderful boat, on a very reasonably priced trip. A great opportunity to round up a group of friends for some wonderful time together or to join a group with others. Great food, service, and experience. Highly recommend it.

Perfect half day trip! - The trip was perfect! My wife and I booked this to celebrate a special occasion and it was well worth it. Angel and Marcos took great care of us and we were able to do it all: Photos at Los Arcos, Swimming and floating, and we even saw whales and dolphins! Angel made us a delicious spread of fruit and then later some fantastic guacamole with other awesome snacks. Look forward to doing this trip again with the family! Thanks, gentlemen!

Calm and relaxing - If you’re looking for calm and relaxing, get on this boat. From start to finish, it was amazing. The crew members were very polite and told us all about the area. The food was to die for. We had ceviche, guacamole, tuna sashimi, and fruit. And don’t sleep on those drinks!!!! They were top notch.
