An In-depth Look at the Experience

Setting the Scene: Cruise and Departure

The adventure begins with a seven-hour cruise on a spacious yacht catamaran, departing from Puerto Vallarta. The boat exudes comfort, offering a smooth ride across the Bay of Banderas. The reviews repeatedly praise the crew’s attentiveness and friendliness, with many mentioning how they felt genuinely cared for — “absolutely outstanding at their craft,” as one guest put it. The departure point is at Puerto Magico, a busy cruise port with security checks, so be prepared for a quick pass-through, but overall, the process is straightforward.

Quimixto: A Private-Feeling Beach Escape

Your first stop is Quimixto, a place so remote it feels like your own private island. This fishing village is only accessible by boat, which instantly makes it special. The reviews highlight its stunning scenery — “soft golden sand and seashells scattered everywhere,” as one traveler described. It’s a perfect spot for snorkeling, swimming, or simply lounging on the beach with a drink in hand.

The highlight here is the opportunity to choose how to spend your time. Some guests, like Tam, loved snorkeling and paddleboarding, while others appreciated simply relaxing. The fact that gear such as snorkels, kayaks, and paddleboards are completely free makes it tempting to try everything.

Hike to Quimixto Falls or Relax on the Beach

One of the major draws is the optional guided hike to the waterfalls. Guests have spoken about the scenic beauty of the trek and the advantage of having a guide to lead the way. Several reviews recommend booking the ATV or horseback ride to the falls, especially if you want to save energy or have mobility concerns. “You might find the hike a bit challenging unless you’re fit,” one reviewer notes, but the rewards are well worth it in the form of beautiful scenery and a refreshing waterfall.

If hiking isn’t your thing, you can spend your time swimming, paddleboarding, or just soaking up the sun. The secluded beach at Chica Locca is well-maintained, with plenty of space and a casual vibe that makes you feel like a VIP.

Lunch and Refreshments: Authentic Mexican Flavors

When hunger strikes, a freshly prepared fajita lunch is served — chicken and beef options with rice, beans, and tortillas. Vegan and vegetarian options are available, which many reviewers appreciated. The food is described as flavorful and satisfying, perfect after some water activities or a hike.

Throughout the day, the open bar keeps flowing with a wide selection of brand-name alcoholic beverages, from beer and wine to margaritas and champagne. Soft drinks, juices, and mineral water are also available, ensuring you stay hydrated. Several guests, like Jason, note that pacing yourself is key, especially with unlimited drinks, but the overall vibe is lively and fun.

Water Entertainment and Other Water Toys

The tour’s inclusion of snorkel equipment, kayaks, paddle boards, and other water toys adds an active dimension to your day. These are provided free of charge, encouraging you to explore the bay’s marine life or just have fun splashing around. Reviews mention that the water conditions are ideal for snorkeling, with guests spotting colorful fish and enjoying the clear waters.

Return Journey: Dancing and Relaxing on the Way Back

As the day winds down, the yacht heads back to Puerto Vallarta, often with lively music and a festive atmosphere. Guests love the chance to dance or just relax with their drinks during the return trip. The cruise’s final hour offers a chance to spot marine life and bask in the sunset, making for a scenic and cheerful end to the day.

The Value and Who This Tour Is For

Given the $114.75 per person price, the tour offers a remarkable value considering the inclusions: meals, drinks, water sports, and the private beach experience. Many reviews mention that it’s a well-organized, full-day adventure that easily justifies the cost compared to booking each activity separately.

This experience is best suited for those who enjoy a social, energetic environment with a mix of relaxation and activity. Families with kids might find it somewhat party-oriented, but the calm, secluded beach and water activities are family-friendly options. Conversely, travelers seeking a quiet, contemplative day may find the lively atmosphere a bit overwhelming.

If you’re after authentic coastal scenery, a taste of local culture at Quimixto, and a luxurious day on the water, this tour promises a memorable escape. Just be prepared for a full, active day and a lively vibe that might not suit everyone.
