Colomitos Adventure with Snorkeling Playas del Sur

This is a private boat outing along the southern coast of Puerto Vallarta, built around three stops: El Paredón, the rocks of Los Arcos and the hidden beach of Colomitos. The trip is booked for your group only, so the pace is set by the people on board rather than by a shared schedule. Plan on about four hours in total.

The route combines photography, snorkeling and beach time. At El Paredón you stop to take pictures of this stretch of coast. At Los Arcos you get into the water with snorkeling equipment, which is included, to look at the clear water around the formations. The last stop is Colomitos, a hidden beach where the plan is simply to relax.

Because the tour is private, it suits families, couples or a small group of friends who would rather not share a boat with strangers. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. The operator recommends at least a moderate level of physical fitness and does not recommend the trip for travelers with spinal injuries. Service animals are allowed.

For the meeting, the operator asks you to go to the Los Muertos pier and walk to the end of the dock, where the boarding area for the boats is. The vessel that comes for you is called Amelia. Public transportation options are available nearby. The listing does not mention food or drinks, so ask about them when you book if that matters to you.
