A Must For Snorkeling at Los Arcos!!!! - Thalia’s expertise as a marine biologist was amazing- she was helpful and taught us a lot and has that ecological and nature-based background. A true extra touch was the video she took and offered to send to us along with taking a photo of her laminated sheet of what we (likely) saw. Angel was the captain- he was very nice. Their rapport was amazing. The boat was the perfect size and the small group was fantastic. They also run their own company- Vallarta Natours- and that experience showed!!!

Wonderful snorkeling tour - I really enjoyed this tour in Los Arcos. Comfortable boat ride with its captain Angel. Very knowledgeable tour guide Thalia, happy to answer any questions. We spent plenty of time snorkeling and got to see a lot of beautiful fish. If I ever do another tour in Puerto Vallarta, Vallarta Natours would be my first choice.

So fun! - This trip was great! On our way we saw some dolphin, and turtles as well as some sting rays. Our biologist explained everything that we might see and how to swim with the currents to prevent us from touching the rocks. She was able to answer all my fish questions and made the trip so enjoyable. I will 100% be booking here again.

Great Experience - This was one of the best snorkeling tours my family has been on. It was great having Thalia (marine biologist) on to answer all questions about Los Arcos and marine life. The snorkeling was not rushed at all. She was absolutely wonderful with our daughter which made for a great trip.

Overrated at Los Arcos - The food and drink on the boat and beach was abysmal and I am not fussy! More importantly Los Arcos is beautiful, not enough time to just float and enjoy. Very few fish / coral and too many boats on the upside beach is gorgeous and people very welcoming. Rather than advertise as a snorkeling adventures and have disappointed customers, might be better to focus on scenery, the boat trip and experience of a different beach (and turn the music down on the boat - way too loud so unpleasant
