Puerto Vallarta Snorkeling Tour
DURATION: 3½ HOURS
Snorkeling is fun, safe, and easy aboard our boats. Join us for a 3.5 hour underwater tour to Los Arcos National Marine Sanctuary and then to relax at a shallow, inner, and beautiful Colomitos Beach located at the south of Banderas Bay.
LOS ARCOS SNORKELING TOUR
The tour goes to the South side of Banderas Bay. Our first stop is at Los Arcos Natural Reserve Area in where you admire different subaquatic species. Then we head to Colomitos which is a small private beach in where you can snorkel again, admire the exuberant vegetation or just rest for a while on the beach. Our guides are Biologists with Masters Degree in Marine Ecology, Science Journalist and Professional Wildlife Photographer (National Geographic magazine and Animal Planet). This allows us to provide a qualified, specialized and professional service.

NO we don’t do pick ups, first because the bay is really big and it will take an eternity, but most important because taxis have concessions at hotels and they are like a mafia. You will need to take a taxi to our meeting point as well back to your hotel.
Normally no but it always depends on each person sensibility to motion movement as well as ocean conditions. If someone is really sensitive we recommend to take only half dramamine pill so it doesn’t make you sleepy but helps with the motion movement.
It is good if you are strong swimmer but not necessary, we have had people that doesn’t swim at all and they have a lifevest and we help them in the water. If dolphins are interested they will come close to the people in the water
YES, we have masks, snorkels, googles and flippers that you can use during the tour, but if you want to bring yours it is also OK.
