We had an amazing time the chef made the most amazing ceviche. All of our friends loved it and ate it up. The location for snorkeling was great and we saw many beautiful fish. The kayaking was fun and the staff paid great attention and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. I would recommend this to everyone.

The whale watching was the highlight of our trip. We couldn't believe how active the whales were. Followed them for most of our excursion. We were very happy that we chose this trip.

Came for a bachelorette party and the crew, chefs, captains were all so accommodating! Some of the group were able to handle the motion of the ocean but they still made the whole experience fun with their professionalism and tips.

I went fishing with Captain Alfredo on his boat the Lucina III in Puerto Vallarta. I have taken fishing charters all over the world and I can say from experience that if you want a memorable day on some of the most beautiful water you will ever experience and you want to catch big fish, then you need to go fishing with Captain Alfredo.
His knowledge of Banderas Bay is unequalled and his crew go the extra mile to get you on the fish and show you an amazing time in the process. We saw dolphin, sea turtles, flying fish and brilliant blue waters on our way to the big fish. he doesn't just drag lures and take you on a boat ride. He knows how to attract and hookup world class fish. The rest is in your hands. My battle with a monster Mahi ended with a fantastic meal of Mahi cheeks that evening.
I definitely recommend the Lucina III and Captain Alfredo!! He's the REEL deal in Puerto Vallarta.

Had a great time on Mikes Snorkeling Tour. Staff was super attentive, kept the drinks going all day😊. After snorkeling we went to a private beach area and just floated! Highly recommend them.

Hi! Question regarding The Hatteras 58' luxury yacht. Would there be other groups of guests on board? Or is the rate of $1,658 (for groups up to 15) include use of the entire boat for just that group?
Thanks so much!
Triana
Hola Triana, el costo es total por el uso por la embarcación, es solo para grupos privados de hasta 15 personas.

Hello!
Yes to all! The boat is operating normally, and we take private charters as well. We include free drinks and snacks as ceviche, guacamole, paninis, salads, etc.
In Mexico, the usual gratuity goes from 10 to 20% of the cost of the service depending on how happy you feel at the end of the service.
Best regards.

I will need to get a cab from my resort to the Paradise Public Pier. Is there a street address to tell the cab driver, or will he know where to go?

Hello CJTCJT,
As Patzumel says, the place is itself an address, all drivers know the Paradise Village Public Pier, if the one you get hesitates with the address, step out of the car!
Best regards.

We are staying at the Icon Vallarta and want to book the full day snorkeling and Beach club tour- not sure which starting point we should choose. Which is closest?

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico8 contributions
Hello Michelle,
You are very close to the embarking point, API Terminal Marítima, you'll have to be there at 8:45 am for the check-in and departure at 9:15 am.
Please, have in mind the Marina port fees, 28 pesos per adult.
Best regards.
Hi we are coming to the RIU Valarta on Saturday 21st December and I am thinking of booking the Whale Watching Tour the following Friday, Saturday or Sunday. There will be 3 Adults and 1 12 year old. I have never been to Mexico Pacific before and was wondering how we get to you? Are you close to Hotel or will we need to book a taxi and if so how far.

Hello Roving559,
Thank you for contacting us,
The closest pier would be Paradise Village Public Pier in Nuevo Vallarta, it's just 10 minutes away by car.
Looking forward to providing the best sea trip.
Best regards.

I saw on one of your replies that you do not do tours in September, but when I select the dates for next September- you pop up. Are you still not running in September?

Hello,
This past September we had to stop our activities due to programmed boats' maintenance, we will operate regularly next year.

Which tour besides the snorkeling includes some fishing?
Mike's Fishing & Tours
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico8 contributions
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us, we have our shared fishing (fishing party) trips. We go fishing for 8 hours, in a group of 6-8 people maximum, the price is per person, so it is ideal if you are 5 or less persons.
If you want to mix options of fishing+something else, you'd have to rent a private charter in one of our boats.
Check our product list for more information on this tour in particular.
