Love love love Vallarta adventures!! We booked three excursions with them - luxury snorkelling, outdoor adventure, and sunset sailing!
Luxury snorkeling was a fun experience being on a big fancy boat and going through the bay. I was expecting to do more snorkelling at different locations though. We went to a small little cove and it was hard to see the fish because the water was a bit murky. While we were snorkelling, there were other boats almost on top of us which was very uncomfortable. After we snorkelled for about 20 minutes, you go to a secluded beach that is definitely pretty but I was expecting more snorkelling. We spent about 40 minutes on the beach and it was quite chilly in the morning. They had no towels or blankets on the beach for us, which made it not too fun. The crew was very kind and could see we were not enjoying our time so we left early to do some whale watching. This was the highlight of the snorkelling. If you’re looking to do more snorkelling, book a different tour.
Now to the outdoor adventures! OH MY GOODNESS! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone coming to PV! You start by taking a boat across the bay, jump in a truck to drive up into the jungle. We got geared up, took mules up the mountain, then started our tour! The crew working was incredible (Kut, Leo, Díaz, Antonio, Xahut, and sorry if I missed anyone)! I felt safe the entire time while zip lining (I’m typically scared of heights)! I think the highlight was doing a rappel down a waterfall! It was absolutely beautiful! I would do this the next time I am here! Worth the money!!
Finally, we finished our trip off with sunset sailing. We got on a beautiful sail boat, headed out into the bay, put up our sails and then we were able to enjoy music, great company and the beautiful ocean. This was a romantic sailing experience and one I would do again. For those that want to get on the water to watch the sunset, this is the tour for you!
Thanks Vallarta Adventures for offering such a diverse set of excursions and having wonderful crews of people to run them!
