South Shore Private Sightseeing Cruise in Puerto Vallarta

This is a private boat tour along the south shore of Puerto Vallarta, run by a fully bilingual captain. Because the trip is private, it is just for you and your group, which suits families or friends who want to set their own pace. The itinerary lists a boat ride of about five hours in total.

You travel south along the coast with scenic views and chances to take photographs. The main stops named in the listing are Los Arcos, where you can snorkel or stay on board to watch the tropical fish and birds (about 60 minutes), and Las Animas beach, where you can relax. Complimentary drinks and music are offered on board.

You have the option of having lunch on the beach at Las Animas and relaxing there for around two hours. Food and drinks at the beach restaurant are not included in the price. The tour includes life jackets, bottled water and snorkeling equipment.

The tour is suitable for all fitness levels. It depends on favorable weather: if it is canceled because of poor weather, the operator offers an alternative date or a full refund of your deposit. Refunds are not given if the tour is missed because a cruise ship arrives late or not at all.

Cruise passengers should notify the operator by message. Pickup for them is at the cruise terminal pier in front of the harbor master, where you should look for the boat La Vida Bella and a captain or crew in uniform. A port entrance fee of 2.00 USD or 41 MXN pesos per person applies. Lunch, gratuities, hotel pickup and drop-off, towels, private transportation and any landing or facility fees are not included.
