Book this tour!
Huge shout out to Alex! He was amazing and very helpful with my parents who are older but managed to do this hike! Definitely come prepared to walk and relax at the different beaches. The water along the way is amazing and I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: What an inspiring story—a big shout out to your parents for taking on the trail! While parts of this hike can certainly be demanding, our guides love adapting the pace so everyone feels supported and fully able to enjoy each stunning beach along the way. Thank you so much for recommending us and for letting Alex be a part of such a special family memory!

Best Vallarta Beach Tour!
Absolutely amazing experience! This hike was a blast, and coming during the rainy season is bound to add to the adventure. Rocco was extremely kind, personable and knowledgeable. The group had a blast traveling by foot and/or water taxi (I very much appreciated the option to skip the first leg and water taxi directly to the first beach, this allowed more room for fun for my bad knee.) The restaurant we ate at was super hospitable, they gave us cool towels and the opportunity to shower the sand off our feet before we ate. Cannot recommend this tour enough! Thank you Rocco!!
Response from the operator: What a pleasure to read this! Travelers like you who embrace every moment—even a bit of rainy season adventure—are truly the heart of what we do. We love offering flexible options so everyone can enjoy the day comfortably, knee troubles and all. Overcoming the tricky spots and taking in that refreshed, vibrant scenery makes it so rewarding. Huge thanks from Rocco and the whole team!

It was fun! We saw some...
It was fun! We saw some beautiful beaches and the hike really wasn't that bad (a little up and down but if you hike, you'll be fine) - we wore hiking sandals and it was fine! The beaches were SO busy (Sunday). One star less because the restaurant we went to at the end was a little meh and we were there for about an hour too long (it was pretty busy) - it was just too long on that bit. Overall we had a good time but I don't know that I'd do it again.
Response from the operator: We're glad you enjoyed the hike and those stunning coastal views. Regarding the finish point, the local beach spot has several independent restaurants so travelers can choose where to eat, though service can vary on peak days. We really appreciate your honest notes and are happy that the trail and overall adventure were a fun experience for you!

Epic way to visit several beaches!!
Juan Carlos was a friendly and gregarious tour guide, full of plant and tree knowledge. He was great at giving us time and keeping us at a good steady pace in the hiking. The scenery was epic and it was great fun to visit and stop at each beach spot, with tasty food at the restaurant and great views. I had a fun time!
Response from the operator: You captured the spirit of this hike perfectly! Exploring these six hidden beaches without feeling rushed is the heart of our excursion, especially since taking time to rest and appreciate the views makes those challenging sections so worthwhile. We're thrilled Juan Carlos shared his botanical knowledge with you and that you enjoyed that fresh, tasty local meal at the end.

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Trail to 6 hidden Beaches, Colomitos & Snorkeling: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Full-Day Trail to 6 hidden Beaches, Colomitos & Snorkeling cost?
+
Prices start at $38 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 Trail to 6 hidden Beaches, Colomitos & Snorkeling take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 Trail to 6 hidden Beaches, Colomitos & Snorkeling worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 605 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Trail to 6 hidden Beaches, Colomitos & Snorkeling?
+
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 Trail to 6 hidden Beaches, Colomitos & Snorkeling suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Trail to 6 hidden Beaches, Colomitos & Snorkeling?
+
Around 212 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Trail to 6 hidden Beaches, Colomitos & Snorkeling 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.
