A Must in PV!
Arturo was amazing! From meeting at the pick-up to snorkeling and the adventure park, we had such a great day out on the water! Arturo took amazing photos of us while swimming w/ the beautiful sea life and while trying to complete the adventure course! It was nice to have memories to look back on and not have to worry about who would capture the moment! Come prepared! You'll need to bring your own towel to dry off, sunblock AND bug spray, and PLENTY of water to stay hydrated. Overall, this experience was well worth the long day. I will definitly be back on my next trip to PV.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this incredible review and for sharing such helpful tips for future travelers! I’m so glad you had a great day from start to finish. Capturing those special memories for you—both underwater with the marine life and up on the adventure course—is something I love doing so you can just relax and be fully present in the moment. Thank you for recommending us and for highlighting the importance of staying hydrated and prepared! It was a complete pleasure hosting you, and I’m already looking forward to welcoming you back on your next trip to PV!

Truly incredible tour
What an incredible experience - honestly the best value for money you could possibly get. Because there were only two of us, it was essentially a private tour. Arturo was a brilliant tour guide, very friendly and took it at the pace we wanted to go at. We never felt rushed at any location, and were truly able to enjoy the experience. There was a perfect amount of time at each stop. The beaches are so gorgeous - truly stunning - and the stop for snorkelling is so serene - pure bliss . You really get to enjoy the scenery from the boat taxis - they were a great experience in themselves! The ziplining was also so much fun. The restaurant recommendation was very delicious, probably the tastiest and freshest fish I've ever had. Thank you very much to Arturo and the team for such an amazing tour!!!
Response from the operator: Wow, what a wonderful review! Thank you so much for your kind words. We love giving our guests that intimate, personalized experience where nothing feels rushed and every stop—from the beaches and snorkeling to the adventure park—is pure enjoyment. So glad you loved the local fresh fish too! Thank you for joining us, and we can’t wait to have you back for another bliss-filled day in Vallarta!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Puerto Vallarta: Tropical Fish Snorkeling and Zipline Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Puerto Vallarta: Tropical Fish Snorkeling and Zipline Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $56 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: Tropical Fish Snorkeling and Zipline Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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: Tropical Fish Snorkeling and Zipline Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 71 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: Tropical Fish Snorkeling and Zipline Tour?
+
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: Tropical Fish Snorkeling and Zipline Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Puerto Vallarta: Tropical Fish Snorkeling and Zipline Tour?
+
Around 25 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Puerto Vallarta: Tropical Fish Snorkeling and Zipline Tour 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: Tropical Fish Snorkeling and Zipline Tour?
+
Included: Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.); Locker; Private transportation; Use of snorkeling equipment; and Photographs. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; Bottled water; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Puerto Vallarta: Tropical Fish Snorkeling and Zipline Tour?
+
