Our Tour guide Sebastian was amazing, he was very informative and kind. My group and I didn’t know how to swim and he accommodated for us. It was very beautiful, and looking at the fish was amazing. He also brought free water, and granola bars.
I had a great time; I was with Uli, and the place speaks for itself👌🏼
Young Ulises is the best guide.
Captain Uli and Carlos are 10/10, my respects to them.
The whole staff was kind and welcoming—they took us to the rocks to dive off of, snorkeling then time on a beach. My advice is to go snorkeling at the beach one girl did that and got little fishies to eat plankton out of her hand! Also remember to tip your guides—they are supporting themselves and families and rely on tourists— They also shared a sashimi tostada snack and chips and drinks—- Bring a little cash to get snacks at the beach and a towel!
Amazing experience! Traveling with 3 children and the crew was very experienced and friendly. The whole crew spoke really good English. Thanks
Absolutely amazing experience, Pablo is an amazing guide and Ricardo a wonderful captain! This is definitely a great option for anyone.. Highly recommend.
This was so much fun! Lucky us, we were the only one's on this tour, my friend and I and we had decided not to go swimming (water was a little chilly for us!) but the guide, Uli, and Captain Arnold took great care of us! We rode out to the 5 Islands and he crumbled granola bars into the water so the fish were SWARMING everywhere, right at the surface, it was better than an aquarium! We spent over an hour going around the different 'islands' and got alot of info about the history and bird life there, we even saw Blue Footed Boobies! Was a great tour, highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience. Our tour guide Ulises is knowledgeable with the tour. Convenient pick up and drop off location, walking distance to where we're staying. We had a great time. Would recommend this tour.
This made our whole trip in PV! This was something my partner and I booked the night before as a last-second excursion to sneak in before we travelled back home, and we left feeling like we had made the best decision of our whole trip. Alexis, our guide, was funny, caring, and really made sure to make a real connection with everyone. The smaller group we had lead to a more personal and intimate experience; and to top things off, we saved a baby pelican that had fallen out of his nest into the ocean! It’s beyond affordable for what you’re getting for the 2 hour session! We will absolutely be returning next time we are here!
