Affordable, friendly & fun tour with memorable experiences
If you want to swim or snorkel in deep, blue crystal waters off of Marietas Islands and enjoy the magic of Majahuitas beach club with lunch in the same day, then book this tour. The price is affordable for an all day excursion (8am to 3:30pm). The tour guide, Felipe, and crew - Kevin, Francesco, Alex, and Fernando - were friendly, extremely attentive and knowledgeable, and fun. Our tour was in English and Spanish. The swimming at Marietas was great! Between the swimming/snorkeling at Marietas and lunch/beach time, they provided refreshments, including an open bar. The staff at Majahuitas also made a delicious lunch with cold drinks. On the boat ride back, Felipe and his crew surprised us with a show-lots of singing and dancing. There were lots of cold drinks and music on our return trip to the port. Overall, this was a fantastic way to experience Puerto Vallarta!

Danny’s Crew
The tour was lots of fun, the crew was amazing very attentive, always checking in on each guest making sure we had what we needed. It was amazing to see all of them work together to provide us with an amazing experience. The only issue I had and almost caused us to miss the tour, they were unable to find our reservation even though I had my confirmation. I purchased my tour through visitor, the tour was with Vallarta Adventures. Not sure who the issue was with.
Response from the operator: Hello, We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour and had a wonderful experience with us. Regarding the issue you encountered with your reservation, we would like to clarify that it was caused by a pending update in our internal system, which temporarily affected the display of some confirmed bookings. Fortunately, the situation was resolved immediately and did not cause any further inconvenience to your experience. We sincerely appreciate you bringing this to our attention in a timely manner, as it allowed us to act quickly and provide a solution right away. Thank you very much for your understanding. We truly value your support and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the near future. It will be our pleasure to assist you again! Kind regards,

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Snorkeling in Marietas Islands and BBQ in Playa Majahuitas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Snorkeling in Marietas Islands and BBQ in Playa Majahuitas cost?
+
Prices start at $1680 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 Snorkeling in Marietas Islands and BBQ in Playa Majahuitas take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Snorkeling in Marietas Islands and BBQ in Playa Majahuitas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Snorkeling in Marietas Islands and BBQ in Playa Majahuitas?
+
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 Snorkeling in Marietas Islands and BBQ in Playa Majahuitas suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Snorkeling in Marietas Islands and BBQ in Playa Majahuitas?
+
Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Snorkeling in Marietas Islands and BBQ in Playa Majahuitas 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.
