Half-day Private Sailing & Los Arcos Snorkeling, Puerto Vallarta

We took this tour back in September and had a blast with the amazing crew of the sailboat. Excellent snacks were served and the fajitas were really good as well. They took us to snorkel at los arcos which is a good spot to snorkel and swim and then a quick stop at a small beach where we had our lunch. I think the tour was around 5 hours and was enough for us. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxed day and snorkeling!

I reserved with Anamar the half day snorkeling tour and I just wished it was longer! The service was great and helpful. Everytime we requested a drink they we fast to serve it! The snorkel itself was good but the sailing on the boat was the best part, the boat is very spacious and beautiful. First time on a sailboat and will definitely come back next year.

Wonderful time on the catamaran!! When we arrived at the marina it was sprinkling but we waited a little and it went away, after that we had the best day ever! We booked the private boat tour for four hours and was a highlight of our time in PV. Thank you captain and to the crew as well!

I don’t think I would book this again. The main person running our tour had an attitude at the very beginning of the tour, which put us all in a bad mood. He then really didnt engage with us until the second half on the way back, when it was clear he and the rest of the staff wanted a good tip and a review. We were also quite sick the first leg and they didnt help at all until the way back, once again for a tip. They also served non bottled water which was a bit strange. Also the area they took us to to swim was not really impressive.

Booked this private boat tour and was fantastic! Amazing experience to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday. The crew went above and beyond with all of out requests and were very kind to my children as well. Good snorkeling also and the water was very calm during our time at Los Arcos.

This beautiful tour was one of our highlights during our vacation in Puerto Vallarta. We charted the sailboat 48 and it was perfect! The crew and the communication before the tour is excellente! Loved that they let us take a quick jump in the water as well! Would recommend it and will come back next year.

Fantastic experience and recommended to everybody!! We did a catamaran snorkeling tour and was the highlight of the vacation! My kids and husband loved it, the crew was incredible and the day we chose and incredible as well. With the 4 hours we snorkeled in Los Arcos and was enough for us as the sun and humidity are strong this time of the year.

Wonderful experience. Angel and Marco were fantastic. I would highly recommend. Perfect day on the water!

This experience is truly an amazing one. Goose, Felix and Luigi were amazing and made us all feel comfortable and safe whilst having a great time!!! We enjoyed the sail, got lots of sun, snorkeled, took photos and enjoyed Felix’s handmade guacamole!! Great experience and would return!!

What an epic day! Gustavo and Felix and the crew were all very hospitable. Best margs we’ve had all trip! Would do it again 10000/10

We had an amazing day out on the water. The snacks were delicious, and the scenery was beautiful. We even saw a few whales, as we sailed around the coast. Highly recommend.

We loved our day. Boat was a good size and well equipped. Captain and crew were extremely nice and very friendly. Stopped when we passed some dolphins swimming nearby who came up to swim by the boat... amazing! We stopped near a small beach for a swim....was beautiful. Lunch was really tasty. Overall, a fantastic trip. I will book again if I am back in Puerto Vallarta

This was one of the best experiences our family has ever had! We did a whale and dolphin watching trip because the jelly fish were too active to swim. Francisco, our guide, was brilliant when it came to knowledge of the animals we were seeing. We saw so many whales and dolphins, including getting extremely close to the animals on several occasions. Also, our captain (Louis) and his first mate/our chef (Chilis) were so fun! Also, Chilis' guacamole was truly the best guac I've ever tasted. We will absolutely be doing this again when we return to PV and will be demanding this same team.

This was such a beautiful relaxing experience. The crew was incredibly kind and fun. Our drinks were delicious and well worth adding the open bar. The chicken fajitas were also very good and fed 7 of us with ease. The spot we anchored down to swim at wasn't overcrowded and gave us an amazing tour of the coast line. Overall a very amazing way to end our trip to PV and would definitely book again.

The best excursion I’ve ever been on. I never say this. It was a beautiful day and to relax on comfortable cushions while sailing and getting served drinks and food (at a fair price) was heaven. A humpback whale came right up to us several times! The captain knew what to do (where to go, and to stop the music and motor to attract the whale). Joshua and the crew were excellent. Food was very good. We plan to take an another trip with them but to snorkel at Los Arcos next time.

What an amazing way to spend our first day in Puerto Vallarta!! The boat was more than comfortable with plenty of room for our family of 8 to enjoy the sun, the water and the view!! We were served cold drinks, fresh fruit, chips and guacamole…all hand prepared on board. Our afternoon was spent swimming and relaxing near the beach…enjoying the beautiful ocean!! Thank you to our captain and first mate…you were both fantastic hosts!! We highly recommend this tour!!

Had a great time on the sailboat with Angel and his crew for our family of 6. We were a little late and they were very nice and accommodating about it. Angel made plenty of snacks for us - big plate of fresh fruit, chips and guac and salsa, and offered us drinks as well. We saw so many jellyfish in the ocean, and kids loved playing on the lily pad and paddleboarding. I wish we had booked more time so that we could have spent even more time in the water.

A truly wonderful trip with a truly welcoming crew and marine guide. Felt very much at home in a wonderful boat, on a very reasonably priced trip. A great opportunity to round up a group of friends for some wonderful time together or to join a group with others. Great food, service, and experience. Highly recommend it.

The trip was perfect! My wife and I booked this to celebrate a special occasion and it was well worth it. Angel and Marcos took great care of us and we were able to do it all: Photos at Los Arcos, Swimming and floating, and we even saw whales and dolphins! Angel made us a delicious spread of fruit and then later some fantastic guacamole with other awesome snacks. Look forward to doing this trip again with the family! Thanks, gentlemen!

Marcos and angel were great hosts and the boat was very nice. We had a wonderful time on the water and the snorkeling was amazing. We would definitely go again if we come back.

If you’re looking for calm and relaxing, get on this boat. From start to finish, it was amazing. The crew members were very polite and told us all about the area. The food was to die for. We had ceviche, guacamole, tuna sashimi, and fruit. And don’t sleep on those drinks!!!! They were top notch.

The Half Day Private Sailing Cruise in Puerto Vallarta was amazing! The staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience relaxing and fun. We enjoyed fresh fruit, chips, and guacamole, along with plenty of water and beer. Perfect balance of comfort, scenery, and hospitality. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing experience! We felt so welcomed and safe the entire time. About a 4-5 hour trip. We had a party of 5 and there was more than enough room, you could definitely comfortable have more people on board. There's a bathroom on board and they have speakers as well, you can also bring your own too. Upon leaving the marina we were served gorgeous fruit platters, and after snorkeling we received fresh guacamole and chips and we ordered two plates of fresh ceviche. Snorkeling was amazing and we were able to see some pretty big fish while we were out there. They also have a paddle board on board which we took out with us as well. And of course the best part is you have the entire boat to yourself for you and your party. They made our experience absolutely amazing and if we're back in Puerto Vallarta we will definitely book this experience again. We even accidentally left a chain on board and they were so accommodating in helping us retrieve it the next day. 20/10 recommend.

This boat tour was incredible!! From start to finish it was absolutely amazing. They have speakers on board or you can bring your own. We had a party of 5 and there more than enough space, we were served fresh fruit as soon as left the marina and after snorkeling they have fresh guacamole, chips and ceviche waiting for us. (You’ll have the option to order food/drinks after you complete your booking, you also have the option to bring any of your own accommodations as well). We saw some huge fish while snorkeling and the weather was amazing, our tour was July 30th, which is during rainy season but thankfully there were no storms/rain during our boat ride or even during our stay, some light sprinkling and that was it. It was a very relaxing day, on the way back everyone in our group took a small nap on the boat under the shaded covering. 3 of our party did snorkeling without life vests and the other two used the life vests they had available for us. They also had a paddle board which we took out with us as well. Could not have asked for a better boat day they absolutely delivered. Oh! And one of us left a gold chain on board accidentally and they called immediately after we left and made it easy to retrieve the next day. 10000/10 recommend and will definitely rebook when we’re back in PV. If you’re going back and forth between this tour and another one, I’m telling you, this is superior. Great value and price, where else can you do a private boat tour that includes snorkeling, paddling boarding, swimming and appetizers for this price?! Being able to have the tour to yourself is priceless for me, completely amazing!! Thank you all so much!!

The cruise was fantastic and the crew took care of us really well. The boat was very comfortable for our party of 8 and the food and drinks were excellent. I would highly recommend it.

We had a great experience with the crew. Communication with them before our trip was great. They answered any questions I had. They were welcoming, and worked very hard to make sure that we were comfortable and have a great experience. The boat was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of space for five adults and three children. Towels, pillows, and plenty of space to sit and relax. We purchased our own drinks for the trip, but asked to purchas lunch. The included guacamole and fruit were great, and Angel's fajitas blew us away. They were both so kind and attentive to us and our children. They took us to a beautiful site to relax in the water and snorkle. We asked to use their lily pad and borrowed their snorkles and fins. I would definitely reach out to them again for another charter if we are down in Puerto Vallarta. It is a must! Dont miss out.

What a fabulous day we had! Ricardo and his crew were awesome! Enjoyed a beautiful day on the water. It was great to just relax and take in the scenery while enjoying some cocktails and snacks, the guacamole was delicious. I thoroughly recommend this sailing trip.

Great experience, would definitely recommend and do again. The captain/guides were great. Snacks and drinks were provided and we had an awesome trip.

Lovely sailboat ride to a swim spot and back. Food, drink, and Crew were amazing. Thank you Ricky for taking good care of us!

We had a really chill time on this tour. The atmosphere on the boat was laid back, and the crew made everyone feel welcome, my parents, my children and my sister in law. The sailing was the highlight, peaceful and scenic. The snorkeling spot was cool too. Great way to enjoy the bay without a big crowd.

This private boat tour was truly the highlight of our trip. There were 5 of us in our group and it was so spacious - would be no problem to have much more than that. The crew was incredible! Angel, Felix, and Luigi were so fun and very informative about the area and sea life. We had fresh, homemade guacamole and a beautiful plate of fresh fruit for lunch which was delicious and a perfect treat out on the ocean. We were lucky enough to see dolphins while on the boat, as well as sea turtles, which was an unexpected treat! Really couldn't recommend this activity more -- we wished it never ended!

The experience was absolutely amazing, and we loved everything from the beginning to the end. The staff was great!! Fun

We had a FANTASTIC time sailing. The boat was awesome. Angel was so kind and engaging with our kids. Even pulled out a book to show the kids what fish they may see snorkeling. The snacks were delicious and the presentation was awesome. The beach we snorkeled at was so beautiful. They had all the supplies including a paddle board snd lounge mat for the water. It was such a relaxing day. Highly recommend this tour.

The booking process was easy and great. They were very communicative and flexible with our cruise ship schedule. The staff on the boat were amazing myself and my son got seasick and they brought us a bucket and water to drink. Were very kind and attentive. They provided an assorted fruit tray and chips and guacamole, and we upgraded for the fajitas, which were excellent. Overall an amazing trip.

Went out for a half day just my wife and I and had a great time. Captain and mates were top notch. English was excellent. Food was great. Would go again any day.

This tour was nice, but did not do what the described details of the tour. We were supposed to go to the Los Arcos National Park, but instead they took us to a different location with not much to see. Park fees were included in pricing, so we didn't feel it was a fair value. Although, Angel prepared us some amazing guacamole!!

Angel and his crew was nothing but accommodating and welcoming. Their knowledge of Puerto Vallarta made the tour that much better. Be prepared to see many whales and dolphins. This was perfect for a private tour with my fiancé as we got engaged on the sailboat. The complimentary fruit platter and chips was perfect throughout the duration of the trip. Worth every penny.

Wonderful experience! Angel and the crew treated us wonderful. We saw a lot of blue whales, dolphins, sea turtles. I would highly recommend this experience.

This trip was just what we needed. The boat was beautiful, and the crew was friendly and accommodating. The kids loved swimming in the warm water, and we all had a great time paddle-boarding and relaxing. We even spotted some whales in the distance! The ceviche was fantastic. Worth every penny!

Incredible experience one we will remember forever! Amazing crew and service and incredible views! Exceeded all expectations and will highly recommend to anyone visiting!

We had such an enjoyable time! The crew made everything easy, and we spent hours swimming in the water. The boat was in perfect condition, and there was plenty of shade to relax in. We were also lucky enough to spot a whale and some dolphins. It was such a treat! We opted for the chicken fajitas, which we’re so glad we did. It made the day extra special!

If you're looking for a fun, private sailing experience, this is the one! Marcos and the crew were friendly and professional, and they made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the day. The kids loved swimming and playing in the water. We were also treated to an amazing whale sighting while cruising along, which was unforgettable. The ceviche was fresh and tasty! Would definitely do this again.

Great 1/2 day sailing the bay. The crew was so friendly and knowledgeable. We weren’t sure where to meet at the marina, so followed google maps directions and we were greeted by the crew. We were able to buy beer and soda at the market after they told us they had a cooler on board. They provided a plate of fruit for the sail out and some delicious guacamole and ceviche the way back. We stopped at a nice area to swim and paddle board. It was great! Our teenage boys even enjoyed it (without the beer of course).

We had the most relaxing day on the water! The crew was so friendly, and they took great care of us. The kids had a blast swimming and paddleboarding. We also got to see some dolphins playing around the boat, which was an exciting bonus! We enjoyed the refreshing ceviche while lounging in the shade. It was the perfect way to escape the hustle and bustle of the busy beaches. Highly recommend this private trip!

This was an awesome way to spend a day. The boat was comfortable and clean, and the crew went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. We spent a good portion of the trip swimming and soaking up the sun. The ceviche was a nice touch. A perfect day on the water!

We had an unforgettable day with our family. The crew was amazing with the kids, and they made sure we were always comfortable and having fun. We spent a lot of time swimming and soaking up the sun, and we were thrilled to see some dolphins swimming near the boat. It really made the trip extra special! Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to relax and have fun!

We had such a fantastic time on our private boat ride! The crew was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The boat was spotless, and we appreciated how shaded it was from the sun. We had a great time swimming and relaxing, and we were lucky enough to spot some dolphins along the way. It was a refreshing change from the busy tourist crowds. Highly recommend for a relaxing day!

This was a fantastic experience! Angel, Paola, and Marcos were the best crew we could have hoped to have. We saw whales, sea turtles, and boobies which were all really close to the boat. Out kids (12 and 8) had a blast swimming and paddle boarding during our stop near Los Arcos. We also bought the drinks package (a great value) as well as the ceviche (they made two different ceviches, one spicy and one not, both were excellent!) We thought the ticket was a little short in details in terms of where to meet, but we were at the boat ramp in Marina Vallarta (as instructed) and our crew met us right at 10:00, it really is that simple. I can’t remember recommend this experience enough!

Anamar Adventures provided an unforgettable experience with their snorkeling and sailing tour. The crew took us to some clear waters where we saw soo many colorful fish and even a sea turtle! After snorkeling, we enjoyed a scenic sail along the coast, with drinks served throughout the trip. It was a great balance of adventure and relaxation. I Highly recommend this tour!
