Private Los Arcos & Colomitos Snorkeling Experience

This private snorkeling trip heads south of Puerto Vallarta to Los Arcos, a group of granite islets in the warm waters of Banderas Bay known for dramatic rock arches and rich marine life. The trip also includes a stop at Colomitos Beach, described as a small tropical cove surrounded by lush jungle and clear water. The listed duration is 240 minutes.

The day begins with a check-in at the operator’s office, where your guide meets you (about 15 minutes). The main part of the trip is time in one of the best natural parks for snorkeling, scheduled for about 120 minutes, where you can swim among colorful tropical fish, corals and other sea creatures. The last stop, about 60 minutes, is spent on the beach at Colomitos.

Because the tour is private, it fits couples, families or small groups who prefer a relaxed pace over a busy shared boat. The operator describes it as ideal for nature lovers who want to see some of Puerto Vallarta’s most scenic coastal spots. It is listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels, but it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, for pregnant travelers or for those with poor cardiovascular health. Infants under 2 years old are not allowed on this tour.

A certified guide, travel insurance, refillable water and snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel, fins and life vest) are included. Gratuities, hotel pickup and drop-off and the port fee of 5 USD are not, so bring cash for the fee and any tip.

For the meeting point, the operator asks you to meet at the end of the pier. If you have trouble finding the team or get lost, you can call them at +52 322 131 8474. Public transportation options are available nearby.
