About

A full day of cruising the waters of Puerto Vallarta on a double-decker tour boat, snorkeling at the Los Arcos marine preserve, swimming under a beautiful waterfall (seasonal), and relaxing and swimming at Las Animas Beach. After snorkeling, the drinks will free-flow, lunch will be served on the way back, and the MC will lead you in fun games and dancing as you drink your margarita or ice-cold beer.

The boat sets off from Puerto Vallarta and heads south, providing you with plenty of photographic opportunities. Stop at Los Arcos for snorkeling with many beautiful tropical fish. Next stop is Las Animas Beach, where you can either get off and relax on the beach or do optional beach activities such as parasailing, or continue a short way further to the village of Quimixto. Here you can rent horses to take you to the beautiful seasonal waterfall where you can swim in the pool below, or take a guided hike there instead at no charge.

See the tiny village of Quimixto, then meet back up with the people who are splashing and playing at Las Animas Beach. Board the boat and lunch are served. Of course, the drinks are flowing as well!. Dance to the music, participate in fun audience participation games, or just sun yourself on the top deck as you return to Puerto Vallarta after a full day of fun.
