Mega Catamarans ALL INCLUSIVE Remote Paradise Beach Adventure

This all-inclusive catamaran day in Puerto Vallarta takes you by boat to Playa Chica Locca, a beach reachable only by sea and described by the operator as feeling like a private island. The outing is listed at about six hours, and the beach stay makes up most of it, with food, drinks and water activities all covered.

On arrival you are welcomed with freshly made guacamole and blue corn chips and a premium open bar. From there you choose your pace: lounge on the sand, settle into a shaded chair, gather at the swim-up bar or float in the oceanfront infinity pool. The beach has plenty of room, whether you want quiet time or group fun.

For something more active, the day offers kayaks, snorkel gear, paddleboards and other water toys, all included. There is also a guided hike to the Quimixto Waterfalls, where you can take a dip in the cool water that flows year-round. If you prefer to ride, an ATV or horseback trip to the falls can be added; it is paid in cash and reserved through a link in the confirmation email.

Lunch is a Mexican meal with grilled fajitas, rice and beans and warm tortillas, with drinks, refills and snacks through the day. The morning starts with breakfast that includes fresh fruit, muffins, coffee and juices. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available if you mention them when booking.

The trip back to Vallarta is part of the fun, with the open bar, dancing and a chance to watch for marine life near the surface: turtles, dolphins, manta rays and sea birds all year, and humpback whales from December to April. A photo team takes candid and action shots, and you can buy them after the tour.

The tour suits all fitness levels, and infants ride on an adult's lap. The minimum drinking age is 18. You must choose your meeting place before you submit your reservation. Puerto Magico is a federal maritime port, so expect security checks and leave drugs, e-cigarettes, vapes and similar items behind. Parking and port entry fees at Puerto Magico Vallarta are included; hotel pickup, gratuities and photos are not. The operator recommends this option for cruise passengers.
