Embark on a 5-hour adventure off the south coast of Puerto Vallarta and discover some of the most stunning seascapes in Banderas Bay. This combo tour combines snorkeling, relaxation, good food, and fun at sea, ideal for those who want to enjoy a complete experience. The adventure begins at Marina Vallarta, where you'll board our comfortable Pato Bobo boat, designed to provide a pleasant experience throughout the tour. The boat has spacious areas, shaded areas, a bathroom, a Bluetooth audio system, and a capacity for up to 25 passengers, allowing everyone to enjoy the trip in comfort. Our first stop will be at Los Arcos de Mismaloya, one of the most iconic natural areas in Puerto Vallarta, known for its impressive rock formations and crystal-clear waters. Here you can go on a guided snorkel tour accompanied by our tour guide, who will take you to the best spots to observe marine life. The tour is suitable for both experienced people and beginners who know how to swim. Full snorkel gear and a life jacket are provided for all participants. After exploring Los Arcos, we'll sail to Playa Paredón, a quiet spot where you can enjoy the sea at your own pace. During this stop, you'll have free time to relax and take advantage of the different water toys included in the sightseeing tour. You can use our paddleboards, relax on the floating mat, have fun with the inflatable horseshoe, or, if you prefer, swim to the beach at your own risk. While you enjoy the water, our crew will prepare food so you can refill your tank. At the start of the tour, coffee, sweet bread and seasonal fruits are offered. Later, at Playa Paredón, you'll enjoy delicious ceviche, guacamole with totopos, and ham and cheese croissants, along with an open bar with beer, tequila, whiskey, soft drinks, juices, and water. Our team knows the best places to snorkel and to enjoy a relaxing moment at Playa Paredón. We focus on providing friendly service and personalized attention so that each visitor has a memorable experience at sea.
