    Boat, Snorkel, Waterfall, Beach, Food, Drinks, Fun!

    I have been going to Puerto Vallarta since I was a kid, and have done many excursions there, and will happily say that this excursion through Grupo Naviero was one of the best I have experienced. The Grupo Naviero team was professional and entertaining. The food aboard the boat and on the beach was delicious. The MC on the boat was funny and entertaining. We felt safe and cared for. The excursion itself is well-worth the amount that we paid ($1,200MN = $68US at time of our excursion in March 2026).

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! 🌟 It truly means a lot to us, especially coming from someone who has visited Puerto Vallarta many times and experienced different excursions. We’re very happy to hear that your adventure with **Grupo Naviero** was one of the best you’ve had. Our team works hard to create a fun, safe, and memorable experience for everyone on board, so it’s great to know you enjoyed the entertainment, the delicious food, and the beautiful stops along the way 🚤🌴 Thank you for trusting us with your vacation experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another unforgettable day in the beautiful waters of Puerto Vallarta! 🌊✨

    Full Day Boat Tour Animas and Quimixed Arches: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Boat Tour Animas and Quimixed Arches cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 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 Full Day Boat Tour Animas and Quimixed Arches take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Full Day Boat Tour Animas and Quimixed Arches worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Full Day Boat Tour Animas and Quimixed Arches?

    +

    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 Full Day Boat Tour Animas and Quimixed Arches suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Boat Tour Animas and Quimixed Arches?

    +

    Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Boat Tour Animas and Quimixed Arches 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.
