      Paradise day trip
      Fantastic day trip!! Two beautiful areas to explore and enjoy. Yelapa falls was a pretty easy hike and walking the town area was interesting. We didn't eat until 1:30 so I would recommend a big breakfast before you head out on the boat. A small danish was offered but not filling. The bbq was very good. We highly recommend this trip!!

      Every year we take the luxury yacht snorkeling tour.
      Leaving early from the Nuevo Vallarta location. Set out on a great day on the water. We enjoyed this trip two times this month and as always it is such a treat. Our second trip was the best this time as we were on the larger of their catamaran’s and there was so much fun and action. At a cove, there was snorkeling, Lily pad for the water and banana boat rides. Or you can swim to the beach or just hang out on the boat . All of this is included. Always flowing, good cocktails, good food. You start out with a little bowl of fresh fruit, moving onto some guacamole. Nice bowl of fresh shrimp.Then, after action at the small cove, they served a nice bruschetta lunch. We were lucky to spot a couple of Orcas in the distance. Dolphins briefly swam with us on the way back to the marina. In the past this excursion lasted longer than it does now by an hour or two, but we had such a good time. It’s all good. A definite for couples and families. The staff and service is spectacular. Entertainment all the time and true caring about your well-being on the trip. Shout out to Felipe and Padro. Please be sure to tip as they work very hard. See you next season.

      Poor unsafe experience
      The smell of gasoline was terrible !Poor experience, I’m Not sure if it was because the boat broke but seeing whales like that from far away is not what you offer. What you offer and the actual experience is so different. We saw whales from far away. We stop for half hour to “hear whales” we did not hear anything. THE SMELL OF GASOLINE ON TBE BOAT WAS TERRRIBLE ANS FEKT UNSAFE. The boat was in poor condition and dirty with mud prints of shoes on the seats Not sure if it was because the boat broke and the capitán wanted to save gas but I saw other boats getting closer to the whales trying to drive around them when we saw whales a bit closer we were to rush to go back and then had to change to an other boat. Then we were asked to sign a paper that said we did everything. I WORK ON THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY AND I NEVER WILL RECOMEND YOU FOR ANYTHING.

      #1 of the best excursions with incredible staff to top it off! One of my favorite memories of this excursion was the Superman zip line and the roller coaster zip line as well. Big shout out to the amazing staff. Jose, Pam, Aldo, Brisa, Erick, Rafiki, Chava, Lucero, Joss, Joe and last but not least Jacob.

    We were fortunate to have this opportunity through our Vacation Club & I can highly recommend it to anyone who is staying in the area. Not only were we afforded a view of the most gorgeous sunset over the bay as we cruised, but after dark, the crew put on a Rock Show that rivalled the entertainment at any resort where we have vacationed. Drinks were plentiful & the crew served everyone ceviche, veggies, guacamole etc while we watched the sunset. Special shout outs to David, the MC for sharing all the information about the area & “star” of the Rock show, along with Edgar and the other 2 gentlemen who crewed the boat and created such a great evening for all of us to enjoy.

    My husband and I weren't sure what to expect when we booked our Sunset Sailing experience, but we had a night that we will never forget! When we first pulled up to Vallarta Adventures we were greeted by friendly staff and clean surroundings. We grabbed a couple of sodas from the snack bar and were encouraged to see the dolphins while we waited. Unreal! We hadn't even got on the boat and we were already impressed.
    Once settled on the Catamaran we relaxed on the deck and were served delicious appetizers (more than we could eat!). It was peaceful and beautiful when we spotted fins in the distance. Noah, the captain turned on the motor and eased closer to the family of humpbacked whales. He proceeded to tell us all about what we were seeing - a baby playing in the sunset, the adoptive father being protective and the mother whale taking care of her little one. It was simply breathtaking. Noah's information as we watched these magnificent creations was a worship experience I will never forget. God's purpose for life extends even into the depths of the seas and I had a front row seat!

    We got this as a gift for my parents who were traveling to Mexico. Once we booked the tour and realized they needed the cardholder to be there, we quickly contact Vallarta Adventures to let them know I wouldn't be attending but my parents would be. They were quick to respond, told me exactly what info they needed from me and what my parents needed to bring with them. When my parents arrived at the bay, they had all the paperwork and everything, but the staff was fully aware of the situation and greeted them with open arms! My parent had an amazing time and there was no fuss involved! Highly recommend Vallarta Adventures for any tours!

    The tour started off great! Nice, roomy, comfortable catamaran, crew was great, weather, although cloudy and a little cool, was nice. We sat in the back for reasons of comfort and convenience and the four of us were having a wonderful time with three others we had met on the boat!
    Then, a smoker showed up and, much to all of our surprise and chagrin, was allowed to smoke within a few feet of us, and was even given an ashtray by a crew member! No one, smoker or crew, asked if it was okay with us! Then another showed up, then another, then yet another! They didn’t come back, have a smoke and leave....they sat literally a few feet away and puffed for the whole sail! One of whom, I’m certain, was chain smoking one after the other!
    So, while we were having cocktails, hors d’ouerves and visiting, second hand smoke would intermittently waft through our group...it was disgusting!
    So, although boat, crew, food and drinks were all very good, an evening event that we were all looking forward to for so long was completely ruined.
    If Vallarta Adventures policy is to allow smokers and smoking to infringe on the comfort and health of the other guests, then I am sad to say I can NOT recommend this tour and would, in fact recommend you STAY AWAY....unless you’re a smoker!

    We head to Puerto Vallarta every year and have made doing the Luxury Sunset Sail with Vallarta Adventures part of our trip the last three years. This time we arrived for 4:30 at the Nuevo office as usual, 5:00 came and we expected to walk down the pier and board our boat. Time kept passing and when we asked we were told we would board our boat soon. At 5:30 they asked us to follow them and took us out to a bus. They bussed us all the way into the Marina in Puerto Vallarta with absolutely no explanation...no sorry, nothing. We got on the water and about 15 min later the sun set....and we were returned to the pier the same time which means we lost a full 1/3 of our tour. Were told that the toilets at the office were closed but we could use the toilet on the boat if we wished, I am sure they just did not want angry customers in their office. The staff on the boat did a wonderful job and the food was great...but we for sure did not get our moneys worth this trip. I understand there is another company doing a sunset sail, perhaps we will give them a try on our future trips.

    This was by far my favorite excursion we had done over our two week honeymoon. Our friends had gotten it for us through Puerto Vallarta Adventures as a gift and we had never sailed before.

    The check in was easy to find on the dock and the staff were great. They showed us the way to the boat and we met our crew Noah, Angel, and Ruben. Noah was the captain with a lot of knowledge on the ocean and sailing and was fun to talk with. Angel took pictures of everyone for them while sailing and Ruben was a great bartender!

    The food provided was a great bento box with a charcuterie board. It was wonderful and so were the drinks!

    Highly recommend for anyone, especially couples as you get a great view of the sunset and it’s very romantic. We will definitely be doing this again whenever we get the chance to come back!

    Warning, Warning, Warning. Do not book ahead for any Vallarta Adventures. They promise 100% refund if cancelled 48 hours or more. What they don’t tell you is the refund isn’t processed for up to one year from the booking date. Criminal and signs of a business failure.

    Hi Ken, Allow us to apologize for the inconvenience caused by the duration of the refund process. We promise a 100% refund and have every intention of keeping our word to our clients. We have been forced to change our reimbursement process due to the unprecedented situation that we all face, and in over 25 years of business have never had to make decisions as difficult as these.

    We did the sunset sailing. It was very beautiful but we had a few things we feel need improvement. First of all, two sailboats left at the same time. The other sailboat sailed towards the sunset and sailed fast way ahead of us, ours went super slow towards the hotels. The purpose of this tour is we're trying to get away from the shore/hotels not go towards it. Then the music was ehh. The sailboat cruise was such a relaxing, perhaps romantic to some, cruise and they should be playing some smooth jazz or music like Commodores (Sail On) lol. I mean, I like Bad Bunny but not for this cruise, it just doesn't go. And lastly, we left at 6:30 pm and were back at the dock a little before 9:00 pm, the other sailboat was not even back yet and no where to be seen. The Vallarta Adventures website clearly states it is 3 hours, even in Trip Advisor, so I feel we were cut very short, that was not cool! I still think, it really is a nice cruise and recommend it, just needs some small improvements and they need to stop cutting people's trip short, because they are paying for 3 hours so they should get 3 hours!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunset cruise. Our captain, Jorge, was very entertaining, as was the rest of the crew. Initially there was insufficient wind to utilize the sails alone, but that changed on our way back from PV. The appetizers were very tasty and the beverages plentiful. The sunset was spectacular and we were able to take lots of pictures. All in all, an Excellent time!

    On our second to last night on our two week trip we decided to something different for us here in PV. We decided to go on this little adventure to sail into the sunset.

    We had already bought our tickets, so checking in was very easy. Here is where my only criticism comes into play. They should have told us in advance that you have to pay a nominal fee of 40 pesos per person before they issue your boarding pass. Not that was an issue ($3.00 American). But we didn’t have anything under a 500 peso note, and the attendant was low on change. So we charged it.

    There were only 24 passengers booked. And amazingly we were broken up into two groups of twelve assigned to two different boats. We were put on to a brand new vessel that was pristine. Because of our low group size there was a lot of space for each of the six couples on board. My partner and I took places towards the bow of the boat. We first motored through the harbor, but once through immediately the crew unfurled the sails and turned the engine off. So we slipped through the water sailing towards the setting sun.

    Immediately, the crew passed out various libations: liquor based, beer, wine, and nonalcoholic. After everyone had been served their first drink the crew brought out a very tasty shrimp cocktail and a basket of bread and crackers. This was soon followed by a charcuterie board. Very nice and delicious. Drinks were unlimited and the crew kept you satiated with beverages. The music that was playing was a perfect fit for the age group on board. A mixture of older easy rock that fit perfectly to the experience.

    The sunset was spectacular! As we watched the sun set into the ocean the sky turned a beautiful pink and the wispy clouds framed a darkening blue sky. As spectacular as the sunset was, the moonrise over the mountains was even more stunning. It was a full moon.

    As soon as it was dark we turned around and slowly sailed our way back to the dock.

    It was a great experience and a perfect evening. I really recommend this excursion. Hopefully you’ll get a beautiful sunset plus moonrise too.
