A highlight of our trip - Our group had a fantastic time with Captain Jack snorkeling at Los Arcos and visiting several different beaches in Banderas Bay. Jack was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He went out of his way to show us the wildlife as we snorkeled and took care to make sure everyone was having fun and doing alright. Our group really enjoyed this tour.

One of a kind excursion!! - This was our first trip to Puerto Vallarta. My wife had read many reviews and wanted to go on a Jack Sparrow excursion. Javier was our guide and did a fantastic job. We also met Jack his brother in the morning, who was very friendly. We are staying at the Barceló resort and visited their booth. They told us everything they had to offer and we decided on the full day. We started by going cliff jumping (which was awesome), the Arches (amazing),and then off to cruise along the shore looking at beautiful shorelines. We then went to the waterfall hike. The town is very cute. We were able to get into the fresh water. It was very refreshing after the hike. There were some young local boys cliff jumping into the water fall (scary)! In the way back we stopped at a place to eat. The food was very good and we shared a few appetizers. My teenagers (16, and 19) loved it and had a great time as well as my wife and I. We recommend this excursion!!

From the King Family. - Captain Jack and his crew were amazing. We spent the day with them and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. We were a large group traveling with children from 4 months old to 18. They tailored everything to us. They are incredibly kind and I look forward to seeing them again. Thank you Captain Jack and your crew.

Amazing experience!! - Booked this trip after catching Jack a few times on the way to the beach. His prices seemed to be the best compared to some of the other tours being offered nearby, and Jack was super personable and welcoming. My family, including 2 teens, had the best day of our vacation! Snorkeling, cliff jumping, horseback riding. It was such a memorable day. We were particularly impressed when Jack guided our son through the best spots to cliff jump near a waterfall by going first, while other tour guides with different groups simply sat idle. Would hands down do it again, highly recommend!

Los Acros and bioluminescence excursion - This trip was incredible! The attention to detail, safety, and overall quality of experience did NOT disappoint! Unparalleled quality and value- No rush and laid back attitude of Jack/Javier and the teams, paired with the consistent support on-boarding or exiting vehicle...and the AMAZING VIEWS! Best excursion experience possible...we booked both bioluminescent snorkeling and day trip for following day - We enjoyed cliff jumping on both and snorkeling of course. We even got to hike up the local paths for a beautiful waterfall view and swimming with the fish at the natural pool there. Yummy lunch options on the next beach were top notch! The history and movie info was great! Thanks again!

These Guys are the Best - These guys are the best. Had a great tour with Javier and Moi to visit Los Arcos, Las Animas, and Quimixto. Guides were knowledgeable about the area, very attentive, and chill. They made sure we has snacks and drinks and took care of the whole tour which included kids and seniors. The day we went the surf was strong and we were unable to snorkel but they made every effort to try and made sure we saw lots of fish. Definitely go to Quimixto waterfall. Nice hike up the mountain and waterfall area is great to swim in. These guys were the best and definitely 5 out of 5.

Fantastic family outing - We had a fantastic time on this family outing and I would recommend it to anyone. As others have said, Jack has a great personality. Our guide Paul was amazing, always entertaining us and making sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. We had a young couple, and two families with younger children, in addition to our family with older teens, and everyone seems to have a great time. They adjust to the group and can read the energy level well. Due to high waves and rough water, the snorkeling was not a good option but we still had a blast seeing the rocks and different beaches. The waterfall hike was beautiful and cliff jumping was a blast for our older boys (and myself). When I lost my watch due to some carelessness while cliff jumping, Paul grabbed a snorkel mask and found it in about 20’+ of water. Lunch on the beach was delicious, but plan for an extra 400-500 peso cash for a good lunch and beverage, as it’s remote and they have to bring everything in.

Great Activity While in PV! - Incredible activity while in Puerto Vallarta. We went to a beautiful waterfall where we were able to go cliff jumping, visited local cities, and ate delicious food! We had the opportunity to go snorkeling too but did not due to the water conditions... but it's okay because our group still had a ton to do! The tour guides were so entertaining and provided us with drinks while on the boat. They were also very accommodating to all groups of people. We went as a couple and were surrounded by families with young kids. Regardless of this, I would absolutely still recommend this tour to everyone.
