What a fun day! - What a fun day! There’s so many activities for the family. We took our kids and grandkids for the day. Swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, water slide, floating docks with hammocks are just a few things. So much you can’t do it all! Food pretty good as well. Beverages for all. Staff was friendly and helpful. The boat ride to and from the beach was a lot of fun. Great entertainment on the way back! A great day!

Las Caletas - Loved this day trip. The whole trip from start to finish was about 9 hours. Our kids loved it. Such a mix of activities on the island and the food was great! Open bar on the boat ride, which took about 90 minutes to get to Las Caletas from the Nayarit dock. Lots of fun and entertainment on the ride over.
The water was beautiful to snorkel. Calm with a wonderful mix of wildlife on the reef. Kids had tons to do as well between paddle boarding and kayaking. Open bar on the island. Would definitely recommend.

Family experience for celebration - Honestly, it is not the first time we have gone on this tour, but it is a tour that we love very much and we loved it, Ángel de Cove, from the slide was excellent, very friendly and good service, without being Malinche, unlike the girl who gave the wine tasting She didn't even let us enter the activity since it was about to end (or so she said) we arrived 10 minutes late and she was very apathetic and Malinche, since when both my family and I arrived we realized that they were pure Americans and did not give us the opportunity to even see the end of the activity. Other than that, all the staff were wonderful, a special day for my mother-in-law's birthday, and the photographer Edgar who took some very beautiful family photos. Poncho the host of the boat, very good vibes and good service as well as his tribulation. Honestly the best tour of Vallarta to spend a family day

Loved it!!! - Great boat ride there and back with boat #16, wondeful customer service and all the staff were very polite and fun. This excursion was beyond awesome! Our waiter Andres was excellent and helped me and my daughter navigate everything we wanted to do. Ebo the trainer for Lucy the sea lion gave us great explanations and assistance during our time with her and also Moana the stingray. Ziplining into the water compares to no other zipling we have ever done. The island has trails for you to follow to get all around to the activities you may want to do. We would definitely go back again!

Chill day - Sea lion and stingray encounter were fantastic, but they cost extra. Other animal encounters with birds and money were fine. Food and service was great. Snorkeling was just ok. Did not feel crowded at all. Overall a great experience.

Overall a good experience, BUT … - Overall a great experience. However, the time goes by too fast and you do not get to do more than 1 thing. Get there around 10 and leave around 2. By the time you eat, get in a little beach, and 1 activity it’s time to go. Be VERY strategic in your plans on island. Also, the cooking class was way too crowded and they had ALL participants to make community dishes with no gloves or having ppl to sanitize hands first. I wouldn’t eat what others prepared because we watch the uncleanliness of prepping. Ugh. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing but others didn’t seem to mind. Also, island is NOT for restricted mobility or elderly. Rough terrain, hills, one access to walk a distance to bathroom.

Quality of time V. Quantity - Las Caletas is absolutely beautiful but just not enough time to do all advertised activities, plus there were so many people. Stood in line for about 30 min to register for the activities.. We only got to do 2, after that we went to the beach and by then all the great places to sit were all taken. We found a place to sit and about 30 min later we were told it was time for lunch. Food was good but then again we felt rushed through it.. I was about to enjoy a cup of coffee with sopapillas when we were told it’s best to go get in line to get back on the boat. For the cost we expected more.

Unsafe practices - While with the medic after tripping in a hole and skinning a knee, the boat left us behind even though the medic said the boat was waiting. We then got placed in a small wooden boat and raced across the ocean to catch up to the main boat. This was quite the experiences as we flew so high off our wooden seats from the waves and speed of the boat, that we had bruised rear ends and sore backs the next day. When we caught the main boat, out in the ocean with serious waves happening, they had us unsafely transition from the little boat onto the big boat. This entire situation could have been avoided if the big boat would have waited 90 seconds for us to arrive and board before leaving. Vallarta Adventures does not care that this happened and has not returned any communications about or experience.
