I have to say I should not have gone because I get terribly motion sick and I got very very sick. However, my friends who do not have this trouble had a great great time. It was magical for them, drinks, food, calypso music and a beautiful boat ride to Ixtapa and then a gorgeous sunset. If you get motion... More

We went on the Picante tour during our stay in Ixtapa, and I would recommend it to everyone. The katamaran was large enough to hold everyone, and the cocktails/snacks were included in one price. Just the bus ride to the marina in Z is interesting, winding through the old town, narrow roads, and seeing the homes built into the cliffs... More

Our group of 7 really enjoyed the sunset cruise. The staff were awesome and were attentive to our beverage needs! The snack provided was very nice and the boat was great. They pick you up at your hotel and deliver you back by bus. The sailing time was approx. 2.5 hours. More

Our family took a sunset cruise and had a great time (even though it was raining). Saw orcas breech and dolphins swim alongside the boat. Staff are lots of fun and very helpful. A bit of a booze cruise (tequila poppers encouraged) but not obnoxiously so - didn't feel out of place to have my five year old on board.... More

A sunset cruise on the Picante is an excellent activity -- Wow -- Can't say enough good about it. Good service, lots of fun, beautiful weather. Met some new friends. The light dinner served onboard the catamaran was delicious, as were the drinks. The only advice I would give -- DO NOT BOOK THE CRUISE FROM THE GUYS THAT APPROACH... More
