Make sure you ask about the wind/waves before going, and if they have a maritime radio on board before departure
What a mess this experience was. I made two different morning time reservations to do the excursion to Marietas islands and the company cancelled both of them and said that only afternoons were available. We did the 315 afternoon tour and weren't warned that the winds can be strong in the afternoon (and were that day with a very strong south wind, but we weren't notified). The normal boat ride was supposed to take 30 minutes or so, and we weren't even half way by then due to the waves. We had to go so slow, as the waves were huge. The boat was not of high quality, the kids on board were flying off the seats with each big wave, and we had water constantly splashing in the boat in our faces. They had us put away all of our belongings due to the waves. At this point, we realized we still had a decent amount of time left to reach the islands, and some were feeling unsafe. Most were wanting to continue, but when my father in law asked if the crew had a maritime radio on board in case of an emergency, they said they usually do, but did not have one on board that day. When people on board realized there was no radio in case of an emergency, we made the decision to turn around. I have contacted Viator and they refunded 10% of our trip and claimed that they only do tours that comply with high safety standards and that the company denies that anything was wrong that day (with weather or safety). I told them I have 4 adults who would be willing to sign an affidavit stating this was not the case, and there was no radio on board, and they have gone quiet. I did many tours with Viator this year, but this will unfortunately be my last. If they really did want high safety standards, they should side with their customers who had safety issues, not the tour owner who was not on the boat that day. They may say they always have an emergency radio on board, and that may be their protocol, but it sure was not followed that day on our trip. Very displeased with how this has been handled with Viator.

Amazing time on the island
These guys are amazing!! We went last week and had the best time. Our guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. They made sure that we were comfortable and safe. The guide stayed close to my 10 year old son since the waves were high that morning and the swimming was hard at times. We are not used to swimming in water with bigger waves so our guide made sure to stay close and lead. He took lots of photos of us on the beach and made sure we were enjoying our time. I recommend that you check with them early to see when the best months to visit the island as sometimes the water is not as rough. They do their very best to make sure you have a great time. My boys loved this tour.

Why this scores 47
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guaranteed Hidden Beach • Private Tour • Punta Mita: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Guaranteed Hidden Beach • Private Tour • Punta Mita cost?
+
Prices start at $19900 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 Guaranteed Hidden Beach • Private Tour • Punta Mita 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 Guaranteed Hidden Beach • Private Tour • Punta Mita worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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 Guaranteed Hidden Beach • Private Tour • Punta Mita?
+
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 Guaranteed Hidden Beach • Private Tour • Punta Mita 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 Guaranteed Hidden Beach • Private Tour • Punta Mita?
+
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 Guaranteed Hidden Beach • Private Tour • Punta Mita 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.
