    So much fun

    It was the first time in the ocean for me and I absolutely loved it

    Response from the operator: Hola Robin, What a special first experience in the ocean! We’re so happy you had such a great time and that it turned into a memory you’ll always have from your visit. The ocean has a way of making an adventure feel extra memorable—hopefully this is just the beginning of many more experiences on the water! 🌊😊 Warm regards,

    Snorkel Tour

    We originally booked a scuba dive tour to Marietas. It wasn't til we arrived at the desk to check in we were notified the dive tour was cancelled. We were given the option to do another dive tour, but we were unable to do it due to a wedding we had to attend to later in the day back at our resort. In the end, we were redirected to the snorkel tour. The snorkel tour was great, but in the future, we would like to be notified ahead of time if the dive tour is cancelled. Not at the last minute

    Response from the operator: Hola Scott, We’re glad the snorkeling tour still turned out to be a great experience, though we’re sorry you only learned about the dive cancellation when you arrived to check in. We understand how important advance notice is, especially when you already had plans for later that day. We truly appreciate you sharing this feedback and will keep it in mind to help make future experiences smoother. We hope the snorkeling still left you with some great memories of your time on the water! 🌊 Warm regards,

    Fun party boat, snorkel lite!

    Totally my bad for not taking the description literally. I expected this to be a snorkel heavy adventure. It is a booze cruise...but a well planned, fun one. I never would pick a booze cruise activity on purpose but it was a fun accident. There was only one brief snorkel time in the whole 5 hours. It was okay, not for experienced snorkelers or divers, more for people who want to try it out and have a fun morning on a boat. The tour guide had razzle dazzle and was very fun. The whole crew was very nice and polite. The lunch was fantastic, the drinks were excellent. I ain't never been on a yacht before, so that alone was fun and silly. You'll definitely have a good time!

    Disappointed don't book

    The trip was barely satisfactory but I was honestly very dissatisfied with the experience, especially considering how expensive the tour was. The snorkeling was a major disappointment. We only snorkeled a few meters from the beach for about 20 minutes, which was nowhere near what I expected from a snorkeling excursion. Unfortunately, it felt very limited and underwhelming. I was also disappointed with the service. I requested drinks during the tour that I never received, and the towel that was supposed to be included at the end of the trip was also not provided. When you’re paying a significant amount for an excursion, I expect the inclusions that were advertised to actually be provided. To make matters worse, at the end of the trip, the crew put out a hat to collect tips. After an already expensive tour where I didn’t receive everything that was promised, this felt very uncomfortable and left a bad impression. Overall, I left feeling very dissatisfied and disappointed with the experience. Unfortunately, I would not book this tour again and would have a hard time recommending it to others.

    Response from the operator: Hola, Thank you for sharing this so openly. We’re truly sorry the experience fell short of what you expected, especially considering the investment you made in the tour. We understand that when you choose a luxury experience, every part of the service matters, and we’re disappointed that we did not meet that standard for you. We also take your comments about the end of the tour seriously. Your feedback is valuable, and we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share it. Warm regards,

    Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $89 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 Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 789 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 Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch?

    +

    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 Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch?

    +

    Around 276 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch 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 Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch?

    +

    Included: Lunch; Use of snorkeling equipment; Unlimited Premium Open Bar; Stand Up Paddleboards; and Day Cruise on a Luxury Yacht. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop off; Gratuities; Admission fees; and Access Fee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch?

    +

    Please contact Vallarta Adventures if you have any questions regarding meeting details. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch?
