Private Bay Tour and Snorkeling

This private boat tour explores the beaches of Puerto Vallarta's bay, with stops for snorkeling and a visit to a waterfall in Yelapa. The itinerary lists a duration of 540 minutes, which makes it a long day on the water, and the operator describes it as a tour to some of the best beaches the city has.

The listing names many stops along the way: Playa El Muro, Los Arcos, Colomitos, Playa Madagascar, Playa La Troza, Playa El Caballo, Playa Las Ánimas, Quimixto and Majahuitas, ending in Yelapa. Some of the names are written inconsistently in the listing, so check the exact route with the operator. Colomitos is described as the smallest of the beaches, and Playa Madagascar as one of the most beautiful in the region.

Snorkeling is planned at Los Arcos and at Majahuitas. Snorkeling equipment and life jackets are included, along with bottled water and light snacks. The trip finishes in Yelapa, where you visit the waterfall.

The tour is guided by a bilingual guide, and the price includes civil liability insurance for all people on board. Lunch is not included, so plan to have a meal during the long day, and tips are extra as well.

Practical notes: travelers should have at least a moderate level of fitness. Infants are required to sit on an adult's lap. Public transportation options are available nearby. The listing gives no meeting point or departure time, so confirm both when you book, along with how the stops are ordered and how long you spend at each.
