Fabulous time!
We had such a wonderful time aboard the boat- incredible service and hospitality. Gorgeous views, whales, amazing! Taxi service was provided and he was a gem. It was a 5 star experience, we loved it!

Best part of our trip!!!
Captain Steve and Octavio were awesome! We did a half day tour, so we had plenty of time cruising the water. They took us to Los Arcos where we were able to snorkel, and a private beach where we were able to jump in and swim. It was a hot day, but the crew made sure we were comfortable and always had a drink in hand. It was our favorite part of the entire trip! A must for anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta.

Amazing Day with Octavio & Carlos
Captain Carlos and Octavio took us out for a 4 hour whale watching/snorkeling/swimming tour and it was GREAT! We saw lots of humpback whales and enjoyed the beauty of Banderas Bay. Captain Carlos and Octavio made sure we were happy and comfortable the entire trip. It was an awesome tour with our family and we’ll be back!

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Yacht, Sightseeing, Snorkeling and Private beaches: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Private Yacht, Sightseeing, Snorkeling and Private beaches cost?
+
Prices start at $1015 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 Yacht, Sightseeing, Snorkeling and Private beaches 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 Private Yacht, Sightseeing, Snorkeling and Private beaches worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Yacht, Sightseeing, Snorkeling and Private beaches?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Yacht, Sightseeing, Snorkeling and Private beaches suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Yacht, Sightseeing, Snorkeling and Private beaches?
+
Around 6 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 Private Yacht, Sightseeing, Snorkeling and Private beaches 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.
