We had a great boat ride...
We had a great boat ride and snorkeling experience! Loved how private and easy going it was. It was also flexible as we weren’t too interested in going to the more “touristy” beach for lunch after snorkeling. Instead, our guide found us some much smaller, less crowded beaches to spend time at. Would definitely book again!
Response from the operator: Hola Melissa_B, Thank you for your nice review..we are very happy to know you had a great time with us .. we hope to see you back with us again soon .

Great experience snorkeling, and visiting a private beach.
We had a great experience with Estigo from start to finish. Booking with Jonathan was super easy and transparent. We chosen based on recommendations from friends, and we also wanted to avoid the stress of a shuttle bus pick up and a packed boat. What a good decision! They were there on time at the pier we left promptly. Jesus did in a great job as a tour guide, pointing out the history of Puerto Vallarta and a lot of of the sites along the way. The snorkeling at Los Arcos was gorgeous and they took very good care of us to keep us safe. All the snorkeling gear worked great. But we really appreciated is that they were flexible. We didn’t want to stop for lunch so instead they found a really beautiful private beach where we lounge and snorkeled off the shore. They had a cooler with ice in the boat, which was great for the drinks and snacks we brought with us. It was a really stress-free trip. Would definitely recommend and it’s worth the few extra dollars to do it on a private boat.
Response from the operator: Hola V2748ONjimg, Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with Estigo Tours - We are very happy to know you were able to enjoy your time with Jesus as your guide and the experience we have prepared for you . We hope to see you back with us again soon , and please keep us in mind for your future travels through Mexico , we offer private experiences not only in Puerto Vallarta but other cities in Mexico as well.

Good Value for Private Charter
This is a private boat tour so to make the best of it make sure to bring all your food and drinks, although a cooler on board you will need to also bring your own ice. We liked not being in a large group.
Response from the operator: Hola Christine_M.., Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us , it was our pleasure organizing your private charter during your time in Vallarta, we hope to have you back with us again soon. Gracias ! Gonzalo.

Great day on the water in PV
The trip was great. We had plenty of time to snorkel. The water at los arcos wasn't great for snorkeling. But the captain and guide took us to another location. It was a great spot. We ended up seeing a ton of fish and spotted an eagle ray. We were taken to los animas for lunch at El Corral. The portions there are generous. Be careful when you order, it is a lot of food. I would totally do this again.
Response from the operator: Hola Courtney_C, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with other travelers , we are very happy you had a great day out on the water , we hope to have you back with us again , and please know we have over 20 activities in Vallarta and we also offered experiences in more cities in Mexico , Cancun , San Miguel de Allende , Mexico City, Oaxaca and Guanajuato. Gracias !

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Los Arcos Snorkel and Beach Tour from Puerto Vallarta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Private Los Arcos Snorkel and Beach Tour from Puerto Vallarta cost?
+
Prices start at $75 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 Private Los Arcos Snorkel and Beach Tour from Puerto Vallarta take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Private Los Arcos Snorkel and Beach Tour from Puerto Vallarta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 80 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 Private Los Arcos Snorkel and Beach Tour from Puerto Vallarta?
+
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 Private Los Arcos Snorkel and Beach Tour from Puerto Vallarta suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Los Arcos Snorkel and Beach Tour from Puerto Vallarta?
+
Around 28 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Los Arcos Snorkel and Beach Tour from Puerto Vallarta 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.
