    Be sure to have all the information

    The tour was nice, staff were phenomenal. Some important things to note. They do not give enough information in English, they speak some English but we weren’t given as many details as we should have been. For example we knew snorkeling was included we did not know the first two stops were ONLY to snorkel and in English all they said was “be careful you can crash into rocks and the boat leaves for 30 minutes” they made it sound dangerous in English but after seeing it, it is was much safer and different than what had been described so we missed out due to not receiving full proper information. At the last stop you can go to the beach or the waterfall there is no time for both, even if you take an atv you only have the same amount of time as the walkers despite being told otherwise. The lunch was provided late at 5pm and it was rice and beans and a tortilla with no flavour (quesadillas). Overall you spend 8.5 hours on a boat with little time to actually do anything. Again the staff are wonderful, the waterfall was beautiful but overall wasn’t worth the time it took due to the miscommunications, lack of information, and lack of time for actual activities. We felt we wasted a day but again amazing staff.

    Open Bar Boat Tour to Arcos, Animas, and Quimixto: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Open Bar Boat Tour to Arcos, Animas, and Quimixto cost?

    +

    Prices start at $980 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 Open Bar Boat Tour to Arcos, Animas, and Quimixto take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Open Bar Boat Tour to Arcos, Animas, and Quimixto worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 41 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 1 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 Open Bar Boat Tour to Arcos, Animas, and Quimixto?

    +

    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 Open Bar Boat Tour to Arcos, Animas, and Quimixto suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Open Bar Boat Tour to Arcos, Animas, and Quimixto?

    +

    Around 0 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Open Bar Boat Tour to Arcos, Animas, and Quimixto 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.
