The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming from the start. Fair warning: the drinks start flowing around 9am, so pace yourself and bring lots of sunscreen -- the sun + cocktails add up quickly. The booze selection is pretty generic, but plentiful, and the snacks along the way are appreciated. The fajita lunch was solid and hit the spot after a morning on the water. Shoutout to Ricky Ricardo, truly the hostess with the mostest -- high energy, fun, and kept the vibe going all day. Luis was also fantastic, constantly checking in and somehow remembering everyone's names, which made the experience feel very personal and welcoming. They even slowed the boat down so we could watch whales, which was a highlight, and having a photographer on board was a nice touch to capture the day. The music on the ride home was a little outdated, but honestly... it just turned into a dance party anyway -- especially once the tequila shots started making the rounds. All in all, a great excursion with a fun crowd, attentive staff, and memorable moments. Easy 4 stars and a solid choice if you're looking for a lively day trip while in Puerto Vallarta.

I purchased an all-inclusive Mega Yacht Tour to a secluded beach via Viator. Prior to the event, I…read morereceived notice that the date needed to be moved due to bad weather. I agreed, but since the owner messaged me, I decided to confirm that the yacht pictured in the photos was the yacht I'd be going on. They responded, "rest assured, the yacht in the photos is the yacht you will be on". On the day of the event, we were given life jackets to get on a two story boat that had Chica Locca Tours written on it. I thought this boat would take us to another location where we would get on the yacht. Nope. We arrived at the secluded beach where there was no WiFi and no manager on site. I asked three different staff members about the yacht and was told: 1) there is no yacht, 2) the yacht is for a different tour, and 3) the yacht was undergoing maintenance. I asked to speak with the director, but he was no where to be found. They did provide drinks, food, and snacks. The water activities were included but no one was there to show you how to paddle board or kayak - just the equipment was available. The snorkel gear was placed in a large bin with no way to clean the items from other passengers using it. I was incredibly disappointed with this tour as I confirmed prior that a yacht would be available and I was leaving Mexico soon so I wanted to take some pictures of the tour for my clients. Upon arriving back to the pickup location, I went back to the office and asked to speak with the manager. The staff told me to write the same person on WhatsApp instead of talking to them. When I did that, the staff became incredibly rude so I decided to reach out to Viator since I purchased this tour not only as a client but also as an agent. Viator submitted my complaint and a request for a full refund. The tour operator denied my request with no further explanation. I then spent an hour with customer service, emailing records and screenshots of my text messages confirming a yacht should have been present. What I find incredibly disheartening is that after I submitted my complaint, the tour operator changed the name of the tour from Mega Yacht to Mega Catamaran and changed the photos that showed a yacht to the two story boat were were actually on. I provided this evidence to Viator who confirmed with their IT team that they did in fact update the tour listing when they denied my request for a refund, indicating that they did in fact lie and that move was purposely made to seem like they were in the right. WRONG. Needless to say, Viator processed my claim for a full refund and I will not be recommended this tour to any of my clients as it was not advertised correctly and they are now on my "not trustworthy" list. It's a shame because the staff were nice, incredibly friendly and attentive. But nonetheless, IT WAS NOT WHAT I PAID FOR, and had they told me it wasn't a yacht, I would have canceled the tour and went with another company. This is false advertising. I hope they learned their lesson.

They took good care of us and made sure to keep us safe on both. Luxury snorkeling was nice and we got to stop at the beach as well. Our tour guide, Manuel was knowledgeable and kind. Everyone else on the boat also took good care of us. We had a blast, saw lots of different fish, had snacks, drinks, and lunch. Loved that we stopped at the beach as well where we were able to take lots of pictures and ride the banana boat! Extreme adventures was also a very nice experience. Some were scarier than others but I still did them and had a great time. I'm glad I got to face some of my fears. The staff was friendly (Enrique, pauline, Erick, joya, Jorge, Katy, Alex, and hector) and they all took such good care of us. I never felt unsafe and knew I was in good hands. Please bring bug spray, there are lots of mosquitoes over there. And be aware if you want to ride the ATVs it's $50 extra non refundable insurance. We opted not to do that and still had fun and didn't feel like we missed much.

With the boat tours they tell you exactly when to show up. The computers have all your details and if there's a problem or if you have questions, they help you and are very professional about it.

They have different styles of boats depending on your trip but they all are clean and operated by professionals. I'm saying this a lot because when safety matters, you want to know that people are trained for their jobs. We had a highly skilled captain, very entertaining and informative tour guide and many helpful deckhands. We snorkeled (clean equipment), bird watched, saw many whales, sea turtles and went to a secluded beach. All food and drinks provided were tasty and abundant. We arrived back at port safely and highly enjoyed our excursion. If we had more time, we would have done more.

There is really nothing not to like about this experience!We would highly recommend it to anyone for their vacation. You arrive at the port at 8:30 then head to a snorkel spot, finally arriving at the beach at noon. But that is after you swing past downton Puerto Vallarta so you can see old town from he boat - really beautiful. One tip- my husband and 7-year old went on the zip lining tour and it is really more of an obstacle/ adventure course where good shoes are preferable (they had flip flops on!). They found it challenging but they did it! I'd suggest bringing water or climbing shoes, and maybe skip it if you aren't up for a hike. Ater a few hours at the beach and an authentic mexican lunch where waiters brought us drinks constantly no matter where we were, we headed back to port. We were back by 4pm - an ideal day in paradise, si!
