    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.

    Amazing! Not a single regret!

    Amazing. Juanlouise (I think that was the spelling) was amazing. We left port at the exact time we were supposed to. The food and drinks were great! Sometimes you expect the food to be blah and the drinks watered down? But I had no complaints (and I had a special diet they followed!). Everything was very upfront (port fee and the entrance to an exclusive beach fee) and Elsa took lovely photos of us (and A LOT of photos). Literally couldn’t imagine a nicer day (and it rained! That’s how nice it was!). Totally worth the cost. Theres an optional scuba (we didn’t go but $50 usd) and the snorkel location was lovely. 10/10. Would go again.

    Response from the operator: Hola, A 10/10, even with the rain—that says it all! 🌧️⛵ We love that the weather couldn’t take away from such a memorable day, especially with great food, drinks, snorkeling, and thoughtful attention to your dietary needs. Juan Luis and Elsa clearly helped make the experience even more special. And “not a single regret” is definitely a compliment we’ll happily take! We’d love to welcome you back soon for more excitement—check out our website for upcoming adventures and discounts!💙 Warm regards,

    Must Do Boat Adventure

    We had incredible time on this tour. Victor and his crew were so friendly and professional. The boat was super clean and nice. The food and snacks were delicious and we loved the open bar. We did not feel crowded on the boat with the other guests and felt right at home. We were able to leisurely coast to private beach, snorkel, swim, and explore. Then we enjoyed a great lunch with more cocktails before heading back slowing hugging the coast. Since the seas were calm, we were able to get super close to Los Arcos for some pictures and enjoy the scenery. I highly recommend Vallarta Adventures/Victor and his crew!

    Response from the operator: Hola Kayleen, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Victor and his crew made you feel so welcome with their friendly and professional service. It’s fantastic to know you enjoyed the comfort of the yacht, the delicious food and open bar, the relaxing time at the private beach, and the opportunity to admire Los Arcos up close. Stories like yours inspire others to discover the beauty of Puerto Vallarta from the sea. 😊 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 785 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 275 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, 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.
