We offer snorkeling tours suited to all comfort levels, and never overcrowd our boats, so even beginners can discover the intense beauty just below the waterline.
We believe that snorkeling should be fun and free from stress, so we make every effort to ensure our customers will experience the wonder of the underwater world in a fun and relaxed way.

 Private snorkeling trips are a great way for small groups to experience personal attention and professional supervision while snorkeling at some of the most popular dive sites on Banderas Bay, and our Discovery Cruises offer larger groups the chance to enjoy Puerto Vallarta's scenic beauty while snorkeling, kayaking and exploring remote beaches.
Puerto Vallarta is home to Los Arcos and Las Marietas, two excellent eco-reserves that sport some of the best snorkeling in the Mexican Pacific. Los Arcos Marine Reserve is ideal for small children and novice snorkelers and the calm waters at Las Marietas make it a great place for beginners.
 LOS ARCOS SNORKELING
With unparalleled biodiversity and beauty, Los Arcos Marine Reserve is a cluster of unique rock formations that the surf has carved into arching caves and grottoes. Snorkelers can swim through these towering arches and see a wide variety of Tropical Marine Life including: angelfish, damsels, parrot fish, lobsters, puffer fish and occasional visits from mantas and stingrays.
 Everyone is impressed by the variety of sea life that Los Arcos has to offer. Here, the deep Pacific currents, rich in Plankton, encounter the Devil's Jaw, an underwater cliff that forces the plankton up near the surface, thus attracting enormous numbers of tropical fish.
The thrill of viewing the diverse marine life at this unique underwater national park will add excitement to your vacation in Mexico. We invite you to lose yourself in the peaceful wonders of Los Arcos, while enjoying the soothing tranquility of this fascinating paradise.

LAS MARIETAS SNORKELING
Located at the northwest end of Banderas Bay, Las Marietas are a group of 3 islands that offer fantastic snorkeling! The Marietas Islands have recently been named a protected Marine Reserve, and as a result, many different species of fish enjoy the safety of the surrounding waters.
 The Marietas Islands provide sanctuary to dolphins, sea turtles and friendly giant manta rays, masses of tropical fish and coral reefs. King Angelfish, Panamic Sergeant Majors and Cortez Chubs frequently approach snorkelers at Las Marietas. You'll also see damselfish with their dark purple-blue body and bright neon blue spots, and if your lucky, you might spot a beautiful white and yellow fish with vertical black stripes - the elusive Moorish Idol.
Our snorkeling adventure to the Las Marietas Federal Marine Reserve gives small groups of snorkelers the opportunity to discover an underwater paradise with friendly and knowledgeable guides.
