Great

We did the sunset catamaran tour with Mike’s Fishing & Tours and had an amazing time! The entertainment was fun, the crew kept the energy up, and everyone—from the bartender to the staff—was incredibly friendly. The food was good, the views were beautiful, and the whole experience felt organized and enjoyable. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

2 Hour Mike's Sunset Tour

Views were beautiful. Great being out on the ocean at sunset. Drinks were okay. Food was disappointing. The brochure said pesto pasta and there was no pasta and the tapas we're very mediocre. Don't go for the food but go for the ambience

Operator response

Hi, Thank you for your honest feedback. We are happy to know you enjoyed the sunset views and the great atmosphere on board! 🌅✨ We sincerely apologize if there was any confusion regarding our food. We want to clarify that we have recently moved away from our old menu (which included the pasta you mentioned) to embrace a more authentic Mexican culinary experience.🍽️ The dishes you enjoyed were actually artisanal Sopes, a traditional Mexican favorite, rather than tapas. We are sorry if this change wasn't clearly explained during your trip, as our goal is to provide a fresh and local taste of Vallarta. 🥂🌮 We appreciate your comments as they help us improve how we present our new menu to our guests. We’d love to have you back to enjoy the full Mexican experience under another beautiful sunset!

Sunset and whales!

10/10 experience on this sunset cruise! Even though it was late in the season we were fortunate enough to see a mom and baby humpback whale during the sunset cruise along with many dolphins! The crew was quick to point out marine life via announcement so you knew where to look. They made sure you were served drinks of your choosing as well as a number of appetizers. Would absolutely do again as it doubled as whale watching and a sunset tour for us. They also had a photographer who took really beautiful photos of my husband and I that I am grateful to have!

Operator response

Hi! Wow, a 10/10 experience—thank you so much for such a detailed review! We are so glad you were fortunate enough to see a mother and baby humpback, plus dolphins, even this late in the season. Our crew is always on the lookout to make sure our guests don't miss a single moment of the magic. It's wonderful to know you enjoyed the appetizers, drinks, and those beautiful photos captured by our photographer. We’d love to have you back for another 'double' experience of whales and sunsets in the future! 🛳️✨📸

A must-do during whale watching season!

Fantastic cruise, friendly staff, open bar was great. Don’t do this for the Food ( I’d say it was a 3 out of 10 ), but everything else was fantastic. Being here in January, we saw lots and lots of whales, fairly close by, for at least half the cruise. Awesome experience!

Operator response

Hi! 👋 Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback! 🌟 We are delighted that you consider our tour a 'must-do' and that you had an awesome experience seeing 'lots and lots of whales' fairly close by! 🐋✨ It is great to hear the staff and open bar helped make the cruise fantastic. Regarding the food, we truly appreciate your honesty. We take all feedback seriously and will share your comments with our catering team to improve that aspect of the experience. We are happy that, despite this, the whales and the atmosphere made for a fantastic day! Hope to see you back on board soon! ⚓🙌

Probably the best and closest to nature trip we ever went on thanks to the.... whales.

We went on this boat twice and twice were totally excellent. I love the MC, the Chef, and all crew members. They are there to serve you attentively, professionally, and warmly. The trips were not only fun but very informative. Food and drinks were good and limitless. Highly recommend.

Operator response

Hi! 👋 Double the fun! 🐋🐋 Thank you so much for joining us not once, but twice! It is the ultimate compliment when guests come back for more during the same vacation. We are thrilled to hear that our MC, Chef, and the entire crew treated you with the warmth and professionalism you deserve. Being described as the 'closest to nature trip' you've ever been on is exactly what we strive for. We can't wait to welcome you back for round three! ⚓💙
