Review of Puerto Vallarta’s Yelapa catamaran tour, with snorkeling, meals, open bar, beach time, waterfall access, costs, and practical tips.

“Beautiful scenery, Yelapa was fantastic. Wish we had more free time to explore on our own. Snorkeling was good. Guides were friendly. The beach landing was difficult, and would not be suitable for those with mobility issues.”

2.2 Hours Catamaran Sunset Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 18 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $99

Review of Puerto Vallarta’s 2.5-hour sunset catamaran, with coastal views, snacks, open bar, music, whale-season tips, and practical advice.

“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!”

3.Catamaran Tour to the Arches, Playa las Animas, Snorkeling and more

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 6 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $92Best value

Review of Puerto Vallarta’s catamaran trip to Los Arcos and Las Animas, with snorkeling, beach lunch, open bar, and Quimixto options.

“Beach Boy Tours was unforgettable! Snorkeling at the Arches of Mismaloya was peaceful and full of fish, and we were lucky to see giant whales, making it even more magical. At Las Animas Beach, we picked jet skiing while others hiked to Quimixto waterfalls. With breakfast, lunch, an open bar, and a lively crew, the whole trip felt like a party. Bring extra cash for tips, photos, and beach activities. Totally worth it and highly recommend!”

4.Tour Yelapas and Mahahuitas in Catamaran with Lunch and Open Bar!

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $120

Review of a Puerto Vallarta catamaran to Yelapa and Majahuitas, with beach time, lunch, breakfast, snorkeling gear, and an open bar.

“Extremely disappointed! Wanted to kayak with my husband using a 2 person kayak and only singles were available. The single kayaks were not available for everyone. I had to wait 20 minutes for other people to finish first. No time limit. I only had 4 minutes as our time was up. Had to move to the next stop. Very disappointed”
