Itinerary

We meet in the old center of Puerto Vallarta and we take a public bus to Mismaloya, a beautiful town 25 minutes south of Vallarta. At the beach we embark the boat to start our journey to ​​Los Arcos: 5 impressive islands in a protected natural area and a sanctuary for birds! In the caves we will learn about the fauna of the natural reserve, among others the great variety of birds who nest on the islands. Afterwards, the captain will take us to a special and safe area where we can snorkel and learn about the great variety of marine fauna that inhabits the coral. Before returning to Vallarta we take you to an iconic place in the history of the city. *Some days the visibility and currents in the water can vary and may affect the amount of fish we can spot. **Min age: 5 yrs/max: 70 yrs ***Cruise ship passengers: take into account possible time difference between LOCAL time vs BOAT time!
