If you are looking to combine adventure, scenery, and three paradisiacal locations, then this tour is for you. South of Puerto Vallarta lie Las \u00c1nimas and Quimixto, a pair of traditional fishing villages that still retain their charm and can only be reached by boat. Just before arriving, you’ll find the iconic Los Arcos de Mismaloya, a protected area where you can go snorkeling to observe a wide variety of marine species.<\/p>\n

Our boat departs in the morning to visit these enigmatic spots in the southern part of the bay. During the journey, you will have the privilege of seeing all of Puerto Vallarta from the sea, while our guides explain its history, climate, traditions, and the best places to visit.<\/p>\n

Upon reaching Los Arcos de Mismaloya, our passengers can dive into the sea to practice snorkeling and appreciate a vast number of colorful fish. We will stay there for about 30 minutes. After this activity, two groups are formed: those staying at Las \u00c1nimas and those going to Quimixto.<\/p>\n

While those going to Quimixto will have the opportunity to explore the village and visit a waterfall reachable by walking or horseback (local providers offer this service), those staying at Las \u00c1nimas can enjoy up to three hours of sand, sea, and excellent restaurant service*.<\/p>\n

Upon returning from Quimixto, the people who stayed at Las \u00c1nimas board the boat to start enjoying the national open bar, and we wait for those who went to the waterfall to eat so that everyone can return to Puerto Vallarta together from Las \u00c1nimas (during the return trip, there are games, raffles, dancing, and a great party atmosphere).<\/p>\n
