So much fun! And free footage afterwards!

Such a fun experience! Los Arcos was so cool! They each have a name and a story and our tour guide was so funny! Cliff jumping was a blast and snorkeling was the coolest! Kiki started feeding the fish so they all came and they were gorgeous! And Uli was taking videos and pictures for free and then sent us a link of our adventure afterwards! It was so fun! I highly recommend it did not disappoint!

Awesome trip and private beach

This was a great experience, worth the money. Ulysses was awesome guide, kept the tour enjoyable. Efraín the captain was very professional and made sure everyone was comfortable. The private beach alone is worth the trip

Los Arcos 5 islands Snorkeling Cliff Jumping and Hidden Beach: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Los Arcos 5 islands Snorkeling Cliff Jumping and Hidden Beach cost?

+

Prices start at $26 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 Los Arcos 5 islands Snorkeling Cliff Jumping and Hidden Beach 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 Los Arcos 5 islands Snorkeling Cliff Jumping and Hidden Beach worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 469 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

Can I cancel or reschedule Los Arcos 5 islands Snorkeling Cliff Jumping and Hidden Beach?

+

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 Los Arcos 5 islands Snorkeling Cliff Jumping and Hidden Beach suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Los Arcos 5 islands Snorkeling Cliff Jumping and Hidden Beach?

+

Around 164 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 Los Arcos 5 islands Snorkeling Cliff Jumping and Hidden Beach 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.
