Really great experience on the water!
This was the highlight of our trip to PV! Gorgeous scenery and a well-maintained boat, plus amazing staff and customer service! Guides were helpful and very friendly and full of information about the trip and the area. Especially Alex, who not only led the snorkeling experience, but also hauled my old self around on a life preserver when I got tired! Saw lots of sea turtles, some dolphins, and plenty of fish during the snorkeling. Food served on board was fresh and delicious, plenty of drinks, and lots to do all day. We loved it!
Response from the operator: The highlight of your trip to PV — what a lovely thing to hear, thank you! Alex will be especially glad to know he made the day easier, and hauling a tired snorkeler around on a life preserver is exactly the sort of thing our guides love doing. Sea turtles, dolphins and plenty of fish make for a very good day in the water, and we are delighted the food and the boat lived up to it. Come back and see us! 🐢 Gil Drory, Owner

AMAZING TOUR, AMAZING CREW!!!
Wonderful tour. Would definitely recommend to others and go again myself. Cannot say enough about how amazing the entire crew was on the boat. They were all so friendly, fun, attentive and went out of their way to make sure everybody was happy, having fun and safe through the entire day. There are so many fun activities packed into one tour so there is a little something for everyone. The pickup/ drop off from sayulita was on time and easy. If you are looking for a fun day full of beautiful places, great food and drinks and most of all great people this is the tour for you.
Response from the operator: What a wonderful thing to read, thank you! Our crew works hard to stay friendly, attentive and safe all day, so knowing they went out of their way to keep everybody happy means a great deal to them. We are glad the Sayulita pickup and drop-off ran on time, and that the mix of activities had a little something for everyone. Beautiful places, great food and great people — we hope to share another day like it with you. ☀️ Gil Drory, Owner

Would not recommend
Tour operator agreed to let us change dates due to illness and charged us a reschedule fee. They then canceled the tour on our new date and refused to refund all of our money
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback, though we would like to add the full picture for other travelers. The call to cancel came on the morning of departure, well past the 24-hour notice required both by our policy and by the platform you booked through — at that point the tickets would normally be lost entirely. Instead we offered to move you to another date for a minimum reschedule fee, so the booking would not go to waste. Where we did fall short is the date we offered: a misunderstanding on our reservations side meant it was not actually available, and we sincerely apologize for that. That is why your reschedule fee was refunded immediately. The tour itself remains covered by the cancellation policy. We are sorry the day did not work out. Gil Drory, Owner

Awesome
Great experience, everyone was very friendly, especially Alex for the information and for always being attentive to the drinks. 100% recommended. Thank you. Gerardo from Montreal Canada
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for these kind words! We're delighted Alex made such a great impression with his information and attentiveness, especially keeping an eye on the drinks all day. Comments like yours make the whole crew's day, Gerardo, and we're so glad your 100% recommendation comes from such a fun experience with us. We hope to welcome you back to Puerto Vallarta soon for another unforgettable day on the water. Gil Drory, Owner

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $130 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 Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 771 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 Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour?
+
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 Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour?
+
Around 270 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour 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 Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour?

+
