About this experience

Not your typical crowded tour. This is the favorite local adventure in Puerto Vallarta. We take you to Majahuitas, an unspoilt beach, only accessible by boat. Crystal clear water, hundreds of tropical fish and total tranquility. Two worlds in one day In the morning you snorkel in the Pacific and in the afternoon you swim under a 30-meter waterfall in the middle of the jungle. You don't need to choose between beach or mountain. 100% local and small group experience. We are local guides of Puerto Vallarta. You walk on real, non-tourist trails, cross the river with the horses of the village and eat where the Locals eat. Your money stays in the community. If you are looking for authentic Vallarta, away from the crowded tours, this is your excursion.

What a beautiful experience, quality of service

This experience is for anyone who likes a day in nature far from the city. My partner and I were delighted with the variety of fish while snorkeling and how comfortable it is to swim in the waterfall after the boat ride 10/10, highly recommended.

ELIKINGDOM!!

The best experience with Eli the Kiddo! I’ve done snorkeling experiences in many different places around the world, and I had never had the opportunity to be surrounded by so much wildlife at the same time. Without a doubt, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I would absolutely do it again! Elian’s attention to detail, professionalism, and service were excellent

Excellent

Excellent experience, the guide informs you of all the interesting facts about the area and the animals that can be observed during the experience. The snorkeling spots are very beautiful, the crystal-clear water allows you to observe marine life in great detail and from very close up, everything very safe and highly recommended to get to know the beauty of the beaches and waters south of Puerto Vallarta!!

Snorkeling + Waterfall: A Quimixed Adventure: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Snorkeling + Waterfall: A Quimixed Adventure cost?

+

Prices start at $1050 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 + Waterfall: A Quimixed Adventure 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 Snorkeling + Waterfall: A Quimixed Adventure worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 + Waterfall: A Quimixed Adventure?

+

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 + Waterfall: A Quimixed Adventure suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Snorkeling + Waterfall: A Quimixed Adventure?

+

Around 2 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 Snorkeling + Waterfall: A Quimixed Adventure 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, 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.
