Al was a great guide, and...
Al was a great guide, and the food was delicious! He made sure to let each restaurant know about dietary restrictions. A lovely way to spend a few hours and go to local restaurants and food stands.

Very Beautiful
Alex was a great guide, nice, friendly small group, The weather was perfect and he explained all the stops and our next destinations. Highly recommended for active, adventurous people.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the recommendation! We keep our groups small so you can truly connect with your guide, fellow travelers, and nature—giving you a closer, richer feel for everything shared along the trail. Great to hear Alex made the experience so clear and memorable, and that the weather played its part!

Great Day Activity with Local Spots!
Super fun, casual day. The short hikes between beaches were perfect and make you feel like a local checking out the hidden spots of PV. The snorkeling was great and everything went smoothly. It’s a little bit of a bus ride south of town but totally worth it.
Response from the operator: We love that you described the experience this way because it’s exactly the kind of adventure we want you to have. The little hikes between beaches make each new view feel even more rewarding, and somehow everyone ends up with a favorite beach. Even the bus ride is part of the experience, giving you a more local perspective while supporting our commitment to responsible, sustainable tourism. Thanks for joining us!

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 614 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 215 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, Taco Adventure Evening Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats. 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.
What is included in Full-Day Trail to 6 hidden Beaches, Colomitos & Snorkeling?
+
Included: Use of snorkeling equipment. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Full-Day Trail to 6 hidden Beaches, Colomitos & Snorkeling?
+
Meet on the sidewalk in front of the OXXO store and the buses NOT in the tour shop next to the bus stop! (different company) Wait for the guide. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
