A wonderful way to spend a day. - This Puerto Vallarta trip was such a wonderful way to spend the day! From getting a local bus to the first destination to the boat ride to the beautiful fishing village to the walk to the waterfall and back, it was all beautiful and relaxing and educational. Isaac was a wonderful host and provided lots of interesting insights. Having the opportunity to sit on the beach in Quimixto at the end of the day was one of the best parts of our trip as it was beautiful yet quiet compared to everywhere we else we went during our time in and around Puerto Vallarta.

Really enjoyed our guide... - Really enjoyed our guide Isaac. We took a water taxi and we did an easy hike to the waterfall. The water was refreshing and we were able to purchase beverages there that help keep the place that supplies refreshments in business. Floods have destroyed it numerous times over the years. We had lunch on the beach on the hike back and watched Isaac do a little surfing. He knew some of the surfers so we encouraged him to get out there while we took videos. It was a lot of fun!

Great Adventure! - My friends and I had an amazing experience hiking at Químixto. There is a 15 min boat ride from boca, the town is truly authentic to the Mexican culture.
The trail was well-maintained, with plenty of scenic views along the way. The highlight, of course, was the waterfall—it was absolutely stunning! The sound of the rushing water combined with the peaceful surroundings made it incredibly serene. I’d recomen to bring cash if you like to grab some snacks from any locals.

Anthony made this day magical!! - This was by far the most magical day!! Anthony was a literal gem, and provided so much information about the local areas!! The waterfalls were beautiful and the hike was lovely. It was paved however there are some inclines, so while an easy hike, maybe if you have mobility issues utilize the ATV or horse options!! The restaurant on the beach was beyond brilliant!! The mango sauce with the coconut shrimp was aces!!!

Refreshing Dip - Carlos was awesome! I was the only one on the tour due to low season but he took me anyway! It's a nice hike through the jungle and it was super refreshing to jump in the swimming hole! I learned a bit about the flora and fauna too :) Gracias, Carlos!

Gorgeous! - The hike was so beautiful, I brought my younger sister with me and Carlos, the guide, was super accommodating and waited for us. The view was gorgeous, and the tour guide offered a lot of information about the surrounding environment. This is my second time taking a tour with them and I will definitely be back!!

Worth it!! Allows you to experience beauty outside of PV! - Personalized tour that allows you to enjoy the beauty outside of PV. Helped us learn how to navigate the public bus and a water taxi. We loved it!! Some of the most beautiful landscapes you’ll ever see. And Isaac was informative and not trying to sell us anything extra. Lovely day well spent! Was great for whole family, ages 9, 14, 18, 43, 44.

Tour guide never showed up and no cancellation notice was given by the tour operator - I was scheduled to have this tour on August 04th, but the tour guide never showed up to the meeting point. I also had no cancellation notice in my email or text from the tour operator . I texted the tour operator through Viator app, but nobody was replying . First, about the meeting point ( the address was vague , lucky me that the Uber driver realized by looking at the map I showed him on Viator app where the place was . I also knew it, as I left from another tour from the same location the week before ) , then 25-30 min after the tour was supposed to start ( but no tour guide in sight ). The other guides leading other tours told me that one of the guys that I did a tour with a few days prior will be doing it, but when he showed up ( 30 min later than when my tour was scheduled to leave), he told me that my tour was with a different company and it was at a different time . He was very kind and called my tour company for me, but he was told that “ my tour does not show in their system “. While he was on the phone with Carlos , from my tour company, I contacted Viator to inform them about the situation. Viator responded immediately and asked if I was at the meeting point on time . Not only that I was, I actually had ( and sent them ) a timestamped photo that showed my arrival time to the meeting point . Then they asked if I indeed had a reservation . I sent them a screenshot of my confirmation . At the same time I got a message from Carlos , telling me that the tour will not take place, as it rained a lot last night and we cannot hike to the waterfall . Viator was also messaging me on Whatapp at the same time . They proposed I go on a free tour to a different waterfall at 10,30 am and also to refund me for my original tour . I decided to go, as I was already there , spent money on Uber etc . That evening I also received a couple messages from the tour operator rep, Carlos , who apologized for the misunderstanding . The next morning I had the original tour refunded to my credit card .
In the end it was a nice day , but it would have been nice for the tour operator to have sent some kind of a cancellation notice before the tour was about to start , as this is what professionals are supposed to do . Not to mention that I speak Spanish and I understood everything he was telling Juan , the guide that called him to inquire about my tour. My advice ? Change the tour name to “ waterfall hike and Quimixto Pueblo tour “, so it avoids misunderstandings and also amend the meeting address to read Constitucion 363 , in front of OXXO , instead of the name of a street .lime the Uber driver said “ Badillo Padillo is a very long street “.
