Water Tours

Ask us about specialized eco-tours, archaeological tours, native cultural explorations and adventure excursions. There are more sides to Puerto Vallarta then even repeat travelers here realize. Let us show them to you. Here are some of our favorites...

Swim with Dolphins

The 90-minute experience begins with an educational presentation that will give you a deeper understanding of the dolphins' physiology, environment and the training techniques we use to communicate with these amazing animals.
Following the orientation, small groups of guests begin their thrilling in-water dolphin experience. As you become acquainted with our dolphins through hugs, kisses and rubdowns, you will notice that the dolphins enjoy interacting with you. Then, taking the relationship one step further, you can swim and play with your dolphin... maybe even take an exciting belly ride or dorsal tow! Email for Info

Marietas Islands Cruise

The Marietas, a Cousteau favorite, are a protected sanctuary for a unique selection of birds and marine life. Whales, dolphins and giant mantas are a regular sight from November through April. We will take you there aboard a U.S.G.G. approved, 73ft catamaran complete with bathrooms and freshwater shower facilities. At the islands there is the opportunity to snorkel, kayak, scuba dive or tour the volcanic grottos in a small boat. Back on board it is time for a hearty lunch while we make our way to a secluded, white-sand beach where you can relax in the sun for an hour before we start back to Puerto Vallarta. Music, dancing, entertainment, lunch, open bar - all included. Email for info

Las Caletas

A one-hour sea cruise through some of the most dramatic coastal scenery that Vallarta has to offer takes you to this private cove that was originally discovered by the famous film director John Huston. Accessible only by sea, Las Caletas is a tropical nature asylum waiting to be discovered. Take a guided nature walk through the jungle and the unique orchid gardens or stop by our interactive deer and parrot centers. Guided kayak tours, snorkeling tours and, for an additional cost, scuba diving courses or even a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to snorkel with a sea lion in the ocean ensure that you will not miss out on the array of sea life inhabiting this natural cove. The height of self-indulgence is to take a therapeutic body massage or facial at our hilltop spa center. Their spa sanctuary offers unparalleled views and warms sea breezes to compliment a completely, natural, de-stress therapy. Las Caletas is, purely and simply, a safe haven from civilization and Mexico's answer to the Garden of Eden. Email for info

Food and beverage service (extra) available on board. Email for info

Sea Lion Encounter

A fun way to really get to know more about these intelligent mammals. The trainer will brief you on sea lions’ physiology and behavior before you enter into waist-deep water. You will have an opportunity to play, pet, shake a flipper or two, and maybe even receive a big fishy kiss. Email for info

Rhythms of the Night

As you arrive to the secluded cove of Las Caletas, you will be welcomed by a mesmerizing vision of flickering torches under a star-studded sky. This candlelit dining experience is one you will cherish for years to come; as the moonlit ocean laps at your feet and tropical palms sway overhead soft music fuses with the song of the jungle - ensuring a heady mix of mysticism and romance. And, just when you feel this reverie could not be any sweeter, a rhythmical drumbeat beckons you into the heart of the shadowy jungle. As the beat intensifies, a torch-lit pyramid appears to rise up from between the palms calling out for you to witness a magical gathering of the spirits, as a hypnotic performance unravels before your very eyes. This is a breathtaking evening unlike any other you will ever witness again.  Email for info
