    Great Private Tour

    Our guide was great, boat ride was smooth and the snorkeling area was calm and fun. Saw whales, blue footed boobies and lots of fish.

    Smooth ride but difficult to find starting location

    The location was very very difficult to find on Apple Maps. In addition, we were not told that we needed to buy passshe onto the dock in the harbor which delayed us further. Lastly, the tour mentioned English speaking tour guide but that wasn’t really true. Boat driver was VERY nice but we couldn’t communicate very well. But it was a Good plan for someone that only wanted three hour experience.

    Awesome experience!

    A fantastic experience! Alonso was a great guide. Made us feel safe and comfortable. Also messaged us the night before regarding pick up time and location. He went out of his way to scope out whales and dolphins. Life vests and masks were provided. If you want the full snorkel experience, consider bringing your own fins and breathing tube.

    Amazing private tour. Lunch on the beach (purchase) and amazing snorkeling near Los Arcos.

    Marine and Ricardo were amazing! So friendly! Marine gave us fun information about the rocks, the area, a little history, and was so kind and personable. Marine swam with us and pointed out things....like a eagle ray, an eel, and lots of other gorgeous fish. Our private tour was just awesome.we were hungry when we arrived so they took us to a great restaurant on Los animas beach before we snorkeled (normally eat afterwards). It was a beautiful spot and an actual restaurant that you order from a menu. It's been there for years and years. Not expensive. Just great chef cooked food. ($$). It was just delicious. A local lady brought pies around for purchase that she has made and sold for years. Again...amazing. We felt pampered and treated wonderfully! It was such a fun afternoon. Highly recommend! They can work with you on times as well. There is a taxi stand and marina and shops near the public beach. We would totally do it again and request these wonderful guides. So relaxing!! Couldn't get pics underwater since we were snorkeling but trust me it was awesome!!! (No annoying photographer and expensive packages like other tours)

    3 hours private snorkeling tour in Misaloya, Puerto Vallarta: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.

    How much does 3 hours private snorkeling tour in Misaloya, Puerto Vallarta cost?

    +

    Prices start at $325 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 hours private snorkeling tour in Misaloya, Puerto Vallarta take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.

    Is 3 hours private snorkeling tour in Misaloya, Puerto Vallarta worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 hours private snorkeling tour in Misaloya, Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 3 hours private snorkeling tour in Misaloya, Puerto Vallarta suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 hours private snorkeling tour in Misaloya, Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 hours private snorkeling tour in Misaloya, Puerto Vallarta start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats, Food & Mixology Tour:Tequila,Tacos, Mezcal and Agave Cocktails. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
