10/10 Recommend. - Luis and the rest of the crew were AMAZING. Everyone was super attentive, brought the ambiance, and were very professional. My family and I had a blast. 10/10 recommend.

Great day at a beautiful beach; be sure to try the Mezcal Tasting experience! - We come to Puerto Vallarta often, and usually book a day in Las Caletas with Vallarta Adventures because it is simply an awesome experience. All the improvements to Puerto Mágico at the marina have streamlined the check-in, wait, and boarding process. The boat crews are uniformly attentive, friendly, and put on a great show on the trip back to the marina. Las Caletas is one of the best beaches in the bay with some good snorkling possibilities, great for kayaking, paddle boarding, or just swimming. We love being able to relax in a beach chair under an umbrella, enjoying the sight and sound of the water while getting good margaritas in between activities. The buffet lunch near the end of the day is plentiful and tasty. The gem of the day, for us at least, has been the Mezcal tasting. The past two times we've come to Las Caletas (Nov. '24 and May '25) we've done this tasting with Abril who has been so great it makes us want to keep coming back. Her English is almost perfect, her sense of humor is outstanding, and her knowledge of Mezcal and Tequila and the area is amazing. She does a taste pairing with three different mezcals (including, yes, crickets :-) ) and explains how different foods can affect the mezcal experience. Take my advice, get to the tasting around 15min early so you can get a seat at the bar there; that way you can talk more with Abril.

10/10 worth it - We’ve already made plans to go back! Las caletas is a beach you wouldn’t want to miss out on. It was also really nice having all the food and drinks included in the tour. The tour guides were amazing and put on great hilarious shows.

Family fun! - Amazing family experience! Our 9&10 yr old girls loved the zip line, waterslide, and bananna boat experience. Tons to do so do your homework to sort out what you would like to do. Even then, we had a few hours at the end to enjoy the beach and snorkeling and IMO was just the right amount of time. Wish I wore teva sandals as zip line, slide, etc (activity zone) is a bit of a walk and can't take slippers on the zip line.

It's not just a beach, it's adventure - The amazing boat tour, excellent service, delicious food (I just feel they lack a little more variety) The activities inside are too much fun and the care they provide excellent, however minimal the support you need Jewel support in zip line 🌟 If I would also like to add that time is very necessary then, perhaps extending the schedule more would be good option since you are in a hurry to be able to do all possible activities

Coves in Couple - I feel that the time of stay in Caletas was short, did not give us time to do all the activities but we had a great time. The welcome cue was not spectacular, personally I would recommend jumping it and that time take advantage of it for activities. We took the Mezcal tasting with April, had an amazing time. My first time trying cricket 😶 We couldn't get on the banana because there was no... Near the platforms there are many beautiful fish and some puffer fish! We make the reservation online and purchase the same package of photographs. It's better for us. While we waited in the hammocks for people to come to board after the meal, I picked up about 15 cigarette butts from the sand and more remained, they should have a smoking area or if necessary emphasize that they use ashtrays , because when the tide rises will pull the butts. The staff was very good! Essentials to consider: Boarding approx 8:30 am Arrival coves approx 9:30 am Food 1:30 pm Boarding return 2:30 pm Arrival PVR 3:30 approx If you get dizzy easy carry pill 💊 Watch out for bad water and jellyfish Between waiting to board the catamaran as well as returning when you finish the meal and waiting to board again are subtracted about 3 hours from the actual stay in Caletas. They currently have two floating platforms, in 2018 I went there were 3. And people expand which makes it difficult to use them. Last but not least I think they should, as in some other parks, promote the use of biodegradable blockers, otherwise they should not be allowed to be used.

It's okay - This isn't really fun for adults. They advertise that it is for everyone, but it's more kid focused. Basically all we did was swim in the ocean. Also, not a very swimmable beach, lots of waves. The music on the boat is horrible as well. Kind of wish we spent money doing something else. Only good part was the photos we requested, she did a really good job and not too bad of a price for those.

Decent but busy and expensive - I thought it was decent but expensive. I wanted to take my kids 8 and 6 on one excursion while we were on vacation. Same thing as others said not much info from the person telling us about it at the hotel. I booked it online tho. Boat ride was kind of fun. Nice boat with bathrooms and the staff was good. Lots of alcohol too if you like that. About 2 hours each way from Nuevo. You stop in pv to pick up more people. Almost $800 cad for 4 people plus taxis and $10 cad for port fees. Lunch is a buffet similar to resorts. It was decent tho. My kids did the adventure park which was fun and pretty well run. We had about 1.5 hours left after that. The beach is beautiful and fun to explore although quite busy. Not enough chairs and stuff tho. We did a little snorkeling, swimming and exploring which was great. Then had a couple drinks on the way back. All in all a fun, but very busy excursion.

Good, not great - First, let’s start with what is good. The area is really beautiful and peaceful. They aren’t kidding. The sand is pristine. The food was surprisingly pretty tasty. When we arrived, there was a breakfast taco, some sweet bread, and fruit. It wasn’t large, but they did allow us to have a second taco, which was nice. Then at lunch, there was a small buffet that was decent. And there are drinks available everywhere. There is so much to do at Las Caletas, definitely too much to do for the given time. We had a little over four hours including breakfast and lunch. We tried to go to the kids adventure, sea lion encounter, and a 30-minute massage, and it felt like too much. Be very thoughtful about what you choose to spend your time on and plan ahead. I wish there was more information ahead of time on all the activities so we could have come in with a better plan. The sea lion encounter was a lot of fun. The trainer was skilled and knowledgeable and made the experience fun. The only downside is that despite paying for the premium experience, a lot of the experience centered around taking photos, which were not included. There are a lot of photo services provided, and they were reasonably well done, but they were very expensive, even beyond my high expectations. If I were you, I would assume that you are not going to see any of the photos that they take. Prices ranged from $40 to over $250. At a more reasonable price I 100% would have purchased. I was especially disappointed that there weren’t any photos at all included for experiences that I already paid for! The biggest problem was the boat ride. Online it says it is a 45-minute boat ride from PV, but this is really misleading. First, even from central PV, it is a one-hour boat ride. You get on board and the first announcement is “it’s going to be about an hour.” The second reason is that central PV isn’t the only stop. We got on at the north stop in Nuevo Vallarta. For us, it was an extra 30 minutes to get to central PV, plus an extra 15+ minutes to load everyone from that station. We basically spent four hours on the boat and four hours on location :/ Had it been six hours on location and two hours on a boat, we would have had a much better day. The crew tried their hardest to make the ride feel short with a big dance and show, but the effort was undercut by the execution. The music on the way back was SO LOUD. I have 3 kids exhausted and trying to nap from a busy day in the sun and they are playing music at 100db for an hour. I legit should have brought ear plugs. The other problem is that some of the dance and performance was a little suggestive. It wasn’t too bad; I wouldn’t have had a problem with it if this wasn’t one of the few activities advertised as being for families. I will say that the crew was working hard, and the break dancer in particular was impressive. We originally booked a monkey encounter, but it was cancelled. A representative helped us rebook with sea lions. She was helpful but didn’t confirm the time as promised. We had to search her out on this unknown island while managing our kids and the short time available on the island. Once we did, I appreciated her help and for getting us rebooked. As with much of the experience: good, not great.

Be aware of “milking the Americans for everything they can” - Great location but staff on the boat over was “snarky “ the we pd extra for sea lion interaction and they were rude about pictures then only way to have memories was almost 200 which is MORE than the tour …. An amazing location and experience ruined by snarky staff and “180” pictures…. Milk the Americans for everything we can.
