We took a 5 hour snorkeling tour operated by Dolphin Discovery (branded as "Marietas Hopping" by Ocean Riders) out of Nuevo Vallarta in April 2013. The cost was $50 per person. The inflatable boats are SUPER FAST and normally used for whale watching in season, which gets you to the diving site fast. 2 minutes out we were informed that...

The Nuevo Vallarta beach is wonderful, with miles of beach. You can even walk to Bucerias along the beach. There are restaurants and massage tents along the beach. Nitta is a great place to rent, steps from Club ETC. where you can soak up the sun along with having lunch or cocktails.

It was a great experience! The dolphin pool is a little cold so if your kids get upset (like mine) skip the kids. You also get a pass to the water park which I did not know so you can actually stay for a while. The water is nice!

The cost of just over $100 per person to swim with the dolphins is just the beginning of your expense. They then offer a swim with a sea lion for another $30 or so. For the dolphin swim I was put in a viewing area where it was not possible to get decent photos of my grandson with the dolphins...

This was so much fun. The pools were clean, the staff, friendly and the dolphins allowed us to join them for a swim around the pool. I'd do this again, in a minute.

Our family of 4 did the Dolphin Encounter and the Dolphin swim adventure and we all had an amazing time. Very memorable. Swimming with the dolphins and doing the bogey board with them is something that we have seen on shows and it was amazing to be part of it. The tickets also included water park usage and the dolphin/...
