    A must do in PV!

    This tour does not...

    This tour does not include hidden beach which requires an extra reservation. The organizers told us the Viator description is misleading

    Highly recommended tour!

    My friends and I enjoyed this tour a lot. The staff was amazing. The hidden beach is highly recommended. A must do in PV!!!

    Family fun on a chilly day

    I’ll start off with the negative: stay clear of Georgie (I think was his name). Not to offend anyone but he is the gay crew member but that’s not why I stated stay clear. He was very mean to my family. My sister has arthritis and she’s a little slow moving. He kept shaking his head at her in disappointment even though we were hurrying to stand in line for 15 mins to board the boat. He was snappy with my fiancé, brother and brother in law. Now the rest of the crew were so accommodating. The food they served was so good and the drinks were amazing too. You do have to pay extra to go to the lovers beach (1000 pesos per person) and also a little boat trip around the island (200 pesos per person). We opted for the boat trip and it was ok. Snorkeling was fine as well. The sea was rough that day. The boat trip there was long and they don’t serve alcohol until you ride back. The captain turned the boat a certain way causing people to fall over which was kind of funny and made for a good story. If you can, go upstairs! There are bean bag chairs there! We loved that aspect. Then on the way back you have a chance to paddle board, kayak, ride a banana boat or go to a private beach. This was the best part of the trip. Overall I’d do it again. My children had fun. It’s too bad they just had one bad apple snapping at people and shaking his head at anyone like they’re children.

    Could have been better

    Every activity is extra money. The whole process was a bit of a factory feel of moving people through extra activities to get more money. The staff was very positive and clearly like their jobs. Drinks and things aren’t available until the end of the trip. It was too cold, not the operators fault but it kept us out of the water. All in all I would not recommend.

    Marietas Islands Snorkel Cruise from Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Marietas Islands Snorkel Cruise from Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive cost?

    +

    Prices start at $87 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 Snorkel Cruise from Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Snorkel Cruise from Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 76 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 Marietas Islands Snorkel Cruise from Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive?

    +

    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 Snorkel Cruise from Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Marietas Islands Snorkel Cruise from Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive?

    +

    Around 27 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Marietas Islands Snorkel Cruise from Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive 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.
