Why Pick Vallarta Adventures for Whale Watching in Puerto Vallarta?

If you want to see whales in Puerto Vallarta, then we have the biggest fleet of vessels and boats. That maximizes your chances of seeing these massive mammals during the Puerto Vallarta whale season. If any one of your boats spots whales, they will radio the rest of them to give them the coordinates.

The guides we have are experts in the behavior of marine mammals. They have multiple years of experience. They're also involved in different research projects that happen in conjunction with government agencies and private sector organizations.

Perhaps best of all, our team is part of RABEN, which stands for Red de Asistencia a Ballenas Enmalladas (in English, this stands for Whale Disentanglement Network).

This specialized team has a high level of training that helps them save humpback whales and other various marine mammals from fishing nets, releasing so far dozens of whales in the past few years.

If you’re looking for a tour with a mix of outdoor exploration and authentic Mexican culture, you won’t want to miss out on this Sea Safari!

Your day begins at Vallarta Adventures’ departure points in Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta where we will hop aboard a speedboat that will take us to a village called Yelapa.

On arrival, to the coastal town of Yelapa, our caballerangos will be ready to saddle you up for a horseback or mule ride along the picturesque Yelapa river to admire the natural surrounding area.

At the end of your time in Yelapa, you’ll have the opportunity to relax on the beach or just to chill at one of its beach restaurants, with a beer or a tropical drink on hand, while you enjoy the views of the fishing boats floating on Yelapa's warm waters.

Upon returning to the boat, we’ll then make our way to Pizota, another small village with a small beach that’s only accessible by boat.

In this private oasis, you’ll get to enjoy a delicious lunch, relax on the beach, as well as go snorkeling or kayaking. Once you’ve had your fill of relaxation and adventure, it's time to head home with another scenic boat ride back to where we started.

First, an Exclusive Boat Tour through Banderas Bay

Start your day with Vallarta Adventures with our Sea Safari Tour boat ride. But it’s not just any boat. Climb aboard for a thrilling speedboat ride over the brilliant waters of Banderas Bay, where a brand new view of the fantastic lush coastline will reveal itself to you. As exciting as this ride is, it culminates in a relaxing visit to Yelapa, one of the many villages in the south part of the bay.

Accessible only by boat, Yelapa is a lively fishing town, located in the Sierra Madre foothills, south of Puerto Vallarta.

Mule &amp; Horseback Riding Tour in Yelapa

Upon your arrival to Yelapa, your adventure begins on one of our horses or mules. You'll be saddled up and take a gentle mile-long ride along narrow, twisting paths along the beautiful Yelapa River. As you enjoy your ride, you may see pelicans and herons, and if you’re lucky you might spot iguanas, parrots, coatimundi, or an ocelot slinking by!

Safari Snorkeling (and Kayaking, Too)

The relaxation continues as you mosey back to the seashore for a snorkeling session in a secluded cove full of rock reefs and teeming with colorful sea life. Your Sea Safari tour includes all the equipment you’ll need to explore the world under the waves. For snorkeling novices, our guides have been trained to show you everything you need to know to feel comfortable in the water.

Although the clarity of the water and the abundance of marine life varies throughout the year due to water temperature, tides, and currents; most of the time, this spot offers a good underwater experience thanks to its secluded location, protected from the hustle and bustle of city life.

But if snorkeling isn’t how you want to enjoy Banderas Bay, we’ll have kayaks ready at Pizota for anyone who prefers to paddle. And of course, we always bring life vests because safety is one of our top priorities.

And Finally, Lunch at Pizota

After you’ve gotten acquainted with the amazing sea life of the fishing village shoreline, you’ll retire to a quiet, private beach paradise in Pizota. This village is even quieter, with a mere 100 residents.

You’ll have the opportunity to slowly savor a freshly-prepared lunch and an open bar right there on an untouched soft sand beach, under swaying palms, in the bright Mexican sunshine, before heading home on another thrilling boat ride with sweeping vistas and refreshing sea breezes.

Take in the ocean from within and without on a tour that includes both adventure and a chance to disconnect from the world. Your safari begins with a speedboat ride across Banderas Bay to the tiny fishing village, where you can explore - and shop - your way along the coastline. Finally, you’ll ride back to the ocean for some of the best snorkeling in Mexico before lunching in the private beach paradise of Pizota.

Welcome to Alma, a unique and immersive show that highlights the wonders of what happens when we connect with nature, animals and the ancestral spirits of the surrounding jungle.

Believed to have a protective soul, the Pyramid of the Sun is one of the most important and iconic landmarks in Mexico, however only a handful of souls are aware of the existence of a hidden pyramid with magical energy that is discovered only by those willing to embark on an inspirational journey.

Our story follows the legend of the quirky keeper, the protector of this hidden pyramid and sacred object, a character whose only job is to stop anyone from touching the most precious and spiritual symbol on the island. This hidden pyramid has the power to open portals between the gods and humanity. 

Our playful and whimsical keeper makes a connection with the pyramid that triggers a series of awakenings, embarking him on a rite of passage that transforms his soul. He soon learns that restoring the balance in the world can only be achieved by respecting and accepting the offerings of this special place.

A surreal and perfectly curated natural amphitheater nestled in the heart of the jungle is where you will see this story come to life through a mixture of incredible acrobatics, original music, and unique special effects.

You’ve waited long enough! It’s time to take the plunge with our experienced, PADI-certified instructors!

Try scuba diving in Puerto Vallarta

When you begin diving in Puerto Vallarta, your introduction to diving starts with a beginner lesson so you can get used to breathing underwater. A PADI professional instructor will guide you as you learn how to use the scuba equipment we provide, move while wearing it, breathe with your gear, and do it all safely.

You’ll learn the basic skills and safety regulations that will let you dive comfortably now, and more easily continue your scuba instruction should you decide to explore PADI certification.

When You’re New to Scuba

Diving with us is the perfect introduction to scuba. This dive has been designed specifically for novice divers, with dive sites hand-picked just for you. To ensure the safety of our guests, all dives are supervised by a dive instructor for each group of four divers.

We also use the buddy system during our scuba dives and at each dive site so you’ll never be alone under the water. Someone will always be there to help you if you have any issues.

Why Las Caletas Is an Amazing Place to Dive

As your introduction to the scuba basics begins, we will head out to our exclusive tropical beach hideaway. The area is a protected cove that is home to colorful tropical fish, sea turtles, rays, and other diverse sea life. There’s a lot to explore, but you don’t have to go deep—so non-certified divers can enjoy everything the ocean has to offer. It’s a truly wonderful place to learn to dive!

The other reason we have our guests learn to dive here is because there are opportunities for non-divers to enjoy a beautiful day of snorkeling, lounging on the beach, kayaking, and guided strolls plus access to activities like cooking classes, mezcal tasting, and our Kids’ Adventure Park and Adventure Cove! That way, the entire family can enjoy everything we have to offer while those who wish can enjoy diving in the cove.

Ready to spend a relaxing day in the south part of the bay and experience a little bit of the coastal life of Mexico? Then you won’t want to miss out on this amazing tour that lets you explore the small fishing town of Yelapa, as well as the secluded Majahuitas beach.

Your day begins at one of two pick-up points: Nuevo Vallarta or Puerto Vallarta where we will take a boat over to our first destination: Yelapa.

Upon your arrival, you can choose to spend your time at the beach or take a scenic hike through the town of Yelapa, admiring its unique views that combine the beach, the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains and the Yelapa river, as well as the numerous colorful artwork pieces that adorn its pathways and staircases.

After some exploration time in Yelapa, we’ll head back to the boat and make our way to Majahuitas, an almost private beach, tastefully furnished in a laid-back hippie chic style. Once there, you can spend the rest of the day however you wish, whether it’s snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, or just simply sun tanning on the beach. 

Your day wouldn't be complete without lunch, open bar on board, and the liveliest ambiance on your way back, thanks to the entertainment show performed by our boat crew.

Visit two coves of Banderas Bay in one day

The Bay of Banderas is home to two of the most picturesque coves of the Mexican Pacific: Yelapa and Majahuitas, located just south of Puerto Vallarta.

Home to sandy beaches, warm ocean waters, and tropical wildlife both on land and in the sea, Yelapa and Majahuitas are everything you'd imagine when you think of a tropical destination. 

Cruise with us past picturesque coastal scenery, where dolphin encounters and (in winter) humpback whale sightings are common occurrences, to an area accessible only by sea. Once on land, take a scenic hike in the lively Yelapa or relax on the secluded Majahuitas beach.

Learn more about our Yelapa and Majahuitas Tour below, and book with us now!

Explore Yelapa Fishing Village

Yelapa Mexico, just south of Puerto Vallarta and only accessible by boat, is home to a small fishing community and is a must-see destination for those traveling to Puerto Vallarta.

Our tour will allow you to freely stroll through the town's hilly narrow roads and pathways, which offer views to spare of the river, the beach, and the tropical vegetation that cover the foothills of the Sierra Madre, where Yelapa is located. Expressive murals and tile artwork cover some of its walls and staircases, making the hike an Instagram-worthy experience.

You'll find street vendors with colorful displays of arts &amp; crafts, hand-made pieces, and souvenirs, as well as others offering a local famous dessert simply known as the "Yelapa pie", made of tropical fruits such as banana, coconut, or lime.

If you don't feel like walking, it's always a good idea just to chill at one of the traditional beach restaurants, with a beer or a tropical drink on hand, while you enjoy the views of the fishing boats floating on Yelapa's warm waters.

During the rainy season, one of the town's points of interest is the Yelapa waterfall, also called "Cola de Caballo", so if you are taking the Yelapa &amp; Majahuitas tour from July to November, make sure you don't miss the guided walk to this refreshing waterfall.

Kayak, Paddleboard and Snorkel in Majahuitas

Experience the breathtaking exclusive beach of Majahuitas. With its untouched golden beach and emerald water, it's the perfect hideaway for a day of snorkeling, paddle boarding, and kayaking. 

Although the clarity of the water and the abundance of marine life varies throughout the year due to water temperature, tides, and currents; most of the time, Majahuitas offers a good underwater experience thanks to its secluded location, protected from the hustle and bustle of city life. 

For those who don't want to practice water sports, Majahuitas is also an ideal place for relaxation and sun tanning. Explore all of the hidden corners of this casual beach club, decored in a tasteful hippie-chic style, that will give you plenty of opportunities to take a photo and show off a little bit of your time in Puerto Vallarta.

Onboard Entertainment

As we cruise back to Puerto Vallarta with an open bar and onboard fiesta, we'll wrap up a perfect day with some great music, dancing, and unforgettable entertainment from the Vallarta Adventures crew—and some guests too, of course!

Yelapa Waterfall &amp; Majahuitas Beach

Certified divers can explore pristine waters in the furthest dive sites from Puerto Vallarta - and two of the most fascinating!

When you scuba in La Corbeteña and El Sequial with the team of Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center, you’ll come face to face with a profusion of sea life, from manta rays and turtles to dolphins and even sharks. But these beautiful creatures aren’t the only reason to make the trek out to these sites. Dive deep, traverse caves and commune with some of the largest fish in the sea on two dives that are worth getting PADI certified.

This dive site is only available as a private excursion for certified divers (1,500 USD is the starting rate for up to 6 divers). 

Scuba in La Corbeteña

With its crystal clear waters and incredible visibility, La Corbeteña is a dive site you don’t want to miss. Northwest of Puerto Vallarta, 36 miles off the shore, you’ll find the rock that marks the spot where caves, arches, and steep walls await those underwater explorers experienced enough to cope with the sometimes challenging currents.

Once you’re beneath the waves you’ll enjoy close encounters with huge schools of jacks, giant rays, reef sharks, sailfish, marlin and whale sharks.

Scuba Dive at El Sequial

To scuba in La Corbeteña and El Sequial is to experience some of the most striking landscapes under the sea. At El Sequial, located outside of Banderas Bay, there is unique a submerged tabletop island that is a haven to a huge variety of marine life. Imagine traversing a giant sunken football field populated by massive sailfish and tuna and then peering over the side of the massive table into dark drop-offs below - a true underwater thrill.

Why These Dives Require Certification

The most interesting dive sites in the world are often deeper and more challenging. Our experienced PADI certified guides are always ready to take our guests into deeper waters and to more exciting locations, provided they have the necessary qualifications.

If you’d like to scuba in La Corbeteña and El Sequial but aren’t certified, we’d like to invite you to look at our dive certification courses. A dive certification course can open up a world of opportunities, and many of our courses can be completed while you are on your Puerto Vallarta vacation.

Want to get under the waves faster? Our PADI Scuba Diver Certification is one of the fastest ways to take an in-depth PADI scuba course administered by a certified instructor during your holiday. Start your training at Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center. Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll have earned a limited certification that allows you to dive more locations in the company of a dive guide.

What Makes This a Two Tank Dive?

When you scuba in La Corbeteña and El Sequial, you’ll have a tank of air for each site. Only certified divers can participate in back to back dives. Divers without a PADI certification can participate in 1-tank dives to a maximum depth of 40 feet whereas certified divers can participate in 2-tank dives down to a depth of 60 feet. More advanced divers can dive even further down and in sites where obstacles and low visibility can present challenges to less experienced divers. 

Trip details:

Dives: 2 (certified divers)
	Water Temp: 62-82°F/17-28°C
	Average Visibility: 40-120 ft/12-36.5 m
	Depth: 40-80 ft/9-39.6 m

Getting back into the water after an extended break from diving? It can be stressful. Your skills may feel rusty. There could be new equipment to review and old rules to familiarize yourself with. You might be tempted to jump right back into the deep blue, but for safety’s sake, we recommend you take your PADI ReActivate course first!

You’ll work closely with a 5-star PADI certified dive instructor here in Puerto Vallarta to refresh whatever kills you feel are the most in need of refreshing so you get back to diving faster and get more out of your next scuba adventure.

What is PADI ReActivate?

PADI Reactivate is a course for certified divers that is made up of two components; theory &amp; practice. Part one will have you complete a knowledge review online, which is an express course through all of the basics, and can even be completed before arrival. Part two is a dive skills refresher that will be done with one of our PADI Dive Masters. Once you have successfully completed these two components, you will receive a replacement certification card which shows a ‘ReActivate Thru’ date.

If you haven’t been on a dive in awhile this PADI ReActivate course is designed to ensure you feel confident the next time you sink beneath the surface. Puerto Vallarta is the perfect place to refresh your skills and scuba dive in some of the most beautiful waters of the Pacific.

How to refresh your Scuba Diving skills in Puerto Vallarta

Once you’ve booked with us, you will receive a PADI e-learning access code which allows you to take the online course. This can be done even before arriving in Puerto Vallarta, leaving your refresher pool dive as the only thing standing between you, and your reactivated certification! 

You will be contacted by someone from our Dive Specialist team, who will locate the nearest pool to where you are for your practical refresher course. 

Why ReActivate?

While taking a PADI ReActivate course isn’t mandatory, it is a good way to get ready for a diving vacation or to prepare for an upgraded certification course. If you’re an experienced diver who has taken a lengthy hiatus from diving, you may only need a few reminders to get back up to speed. The value of having peace of mind when you’re below the surface can not be overstated. Being able to respond quickly to changing conditions or an emergency is the best way to ensure that every dive is better than the last. 


If you are interested in the PADI ReActivate course or simply would like more information, please contact out Dive Specialist team by phone or Whatsapp at +52 322 779 7456, or write us at scuba@vallarta-adventures.com

The marine life is bountiful in Banderas Bay, so turtle and tropical fish enthusiasts will have plenty to enjoy.

What You’ll See When You Scuba Dive in Las Caletas

Las Caletas Beach Hideaway is a Vallarta Adventures private, protected beach located on the Southern shore of Banderas Bay. This shore dive will put you eye-to-eye with garden eels, jawfish, eagle rays, manta rays, large schools of colorful tropical fish and our resident sea turtle. It’s one of the finest dive sites on the Pacific Coast of Mexico for the marine life alone, plus there is a natural reef nearby.

Dive Las Caletas as Part of a Custom Tour

Are you setting up a vacation for a family event, school group, team excursion or dive club? Get in touch! Our representatives can help you build an itinerary that includes activities for divers and non-divers alike! Las Caletas has plenty to offer besides scuba diving and snorkeling!

Safety Is Our Number One Priority

Scuba diving is safe but there are risks inherent in every underwater activity. That’s why every one of our scuba dives in Las Caletas is supervised by PADI-certified instructors and divemasters, and we use the buddy system to ensure that no guest ever dives alone.

Vallarta Adventures’ private beach has underwater adventures, too!  Located on the Southern shore of Banderas Bay, this cove is an ideal place for those new to diving to learn the ropes and also offers plenty for experienced divers to explore. You’ll see garden eels, jaw fish, rays, turtles, large schools of tropical fish and even two fascinating shipwrecks!

Scuba Dive in Las Caletas

Join the professional team of Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center for an hour-long trip in our fully equipped dive boat to one of our favorite dive sites in the outer limits of Banderas Bay: Los Anegados.

Halfway between the Marietas Islands and El Morro, there is a bank where shallows transition into deeper waters and divers can join bottom dwellers like rays and eels and then pelagics like jacks and tuna in waters that can sometimes pose a challenge but are typically pleasantly mild and easy for more experienced divers to navigate.

This dive site is only available as a private excursion for certified divers (1200 USD is the starting rate for up to 4 divers).

See Caves and Fascinating Rock Formations

Where else can you see such a wide variety of marine life in one day? The relatively sheltered rocky bank at Los Anegados is peppered with caves and punctuated by intricate rock formations that are the perfect hiding spots for creatures both large and small, including moray eels, eagle rays, and sometimes even nurse sharks.

A Shallow but Challenging Scuba Dive in Los Anegados

The shallow depths at Los Anegados may make it seem like an easy site, but this dive can sometimes be demanding for even more experienced divers. There are sometimes strong currents to contend with and north winds can make the ocean rough. Very rarely, the conditions at Los Anegados are such that we don’t feel we can guarantee our guests’ safety, and in such cases, we take guests to the beautiful Marietas Islands or to another dive site in the southern part of Banderas Bay.

Open Water Shark Diving at Los Anegados

This popular diving tour gives you the opportunity to dive at two different locations in Los Anegados, and if you’re lucky you will get to see some of our famous sharks! Nurse sharks are gentle creatures that spend their days resting on the sandy ocean floor and tend to turn tail and swim away when approached by humans.

But you can observe nurse sharks from a distance if you have your Open Water Certification. The biggest nurse sharks prefer deeper reefs and shelves 100 feet into the ocean. You can meet these sharks, too, though you’ll need an Advanced Open Water Certification or higher.

Get Certified Before Your Dive

Did you know that we offer a variety of PADI scuba diving certifications? Some of these courses have components that you can complete ahead of your vacation so you can do book work and pool work before you leave. All of our courses are designed to get you into the water faster and ultimately to give you qualifications that will open up a world of diving opportunities to you.

From Learn to Dive classes led by PADI certified instructors that teach you the basics of scuba and equip you with the knowledge you need for one-tank dives, to PADI Scuba Diver Certification courses that give you a limited certification so you can dive with a guide to more advanced courses for serious divers, there’s a scuba course for you at Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center.

Stay Safe from Start to Finish

The safety of our guests is our number one priority, in and out of the water. Every one of our dives, at Los Anegados and at other sites, is overseen by one or more PADI certified instructors trained to look for any signs of trouble. We also use the buddy system on all of our dives, so no guest is ever alone under the waves. Help is always a wave away.

The Dive Location

This dive can sometimes be demanding for divers due to strong currents, but typically the current is mild. The location of this dive site is outside of the bay, 24 nautical miles. We will get north winds that can make the ocean rough. The journey to the dive site is 1 hour in our fully-equipped dive boat. If the conditions are too difficult at Anegados, we may change the destination to The Marietas Islands or to the Southern part of the bay.

This rock bank halfway between El Morro and the Marietas Islands is a must-see spot if you’re scuba diving Puerto Vallarta. Certified divers will love exploring the caves and fascinating rock formations that lie below the surface and swimming among the nurse sharks. You’ll also see turtles, seahorses, dolphins, jacks, sailfish and more!

Private Scuba Dive in Los Anegados

You know you’ve reached El Morro, an advanced dive site on the edge of Banderas Bay when you set your sights on a dramatic series of rock pinnacles jutting out of the Pacific Ocean. That’s where experienced divers can plunge under the waves with a PADI Dive Master to dive walls and explore amazing caves and tunnels.

That’s not all there is to discover, however! You can also get up close and personal with large pelagics like rays, manta rays, and even humpback whales (during winter months). Visit this amazing site with the professional team of Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center. Scuba diving in El Morro is one of a kind experience you’ll never forget!

**This dive site is also available as a private excursion for certified divers ($840 USD is the starting rate for up to 4 divers). To book your private scuba Diving excursion to El Morro, please contact our Travel Advisor today at 1-888-526-2238 or info@vallarta-adventures.com.

Discover Drama in the Deep

El Morro is sometimes called the most secluded dive site in Puerto Vallarta, but it is definitely one of the most striking. The pinnacles that are the first sign you’ve reached El Morro are also what make it so unique a site. They rise from the ocean floor and are pockmarked with dozens of tunnels and caves that are teeming with marine life - all of which you can discover on this dive.

A Diversity of Creatures Awaits

Down below El Morro you might see lobsters, turtles, octopuses,  seahorses and jacks, along with sharks, and the biggest eels and most awe-inspiring manta rays you’ve ever seen. Then there are the coral and the sponges, which come in every conceivable color and are home to too many varieties of tropical fish to count. It is a spectacle of color!

The Caverns at El Morro

The start of your scuba dive in El Morro involves diving down 90 feet, where you’ll see cave openings in front of you. It’s difficult to see inside, but those daring enough to enter will be rewarded with two things. First, rocky granite walls teeming with invertebrates like sea fans and coral, along with brilliant nudibranchs and scurrying shrimp. Sometimes an octopus will speed by! And second, a brilliant view of the surrounding sea. The darkness of the cave makes the brilliant clarity of the water all the more stunning.

Why Scuba Diving in El Morro Requires Certification

El Morro can have challenging currents and sea conditions that are intimidating for less experienced divers, but that isn’t the only reason our PADI certified dive guides limit this dive to certified guests. The same conditions that make this dive site so fascinating are those that make it riskier for dive enthusiasts who haven’t yet been certified.

If you’d like to scuba dive in El Morro but aren’t yet certified, now is the time! Taking one of the dive certification courses offered by Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center will give you the knowledge and the qualifications you need to dive in deeper waters and in the most exciting locations in and around Puerto Vallarta. Many of these PADI courses can even be completed while you’re on vacation!

Safety Is Our Number One Priority

When our guests scuba dive in El Morro or in any of the other dive sites in and around Puerto Vallarta, our PADI-certified guides are there to ensure that all dives are as safe as they are thrilling. Dives are supervised by one PADI-certified instructor per each group of six divers, and we use the buddy system to be sure that no diver is ever alone.

Trip Details:

Dives: 2 (certified divers)
	Boat: Speed boat
	Water Temp: 65-86°F/18-30°C

Scuba Diving in El Morro

This certified, two-tank diving takes you to one of the best spots in Puerto Vallarta. Thanks in part to the efforts of conservationist Jacques Cousteau, the Marietas Islands Marine Reserve is a paradise of untouched tropical beauty, above and below the waves. When you experience Marietas Islands scuba diving, you will glide along an underwater mountain range that offers the perfect conditions for observing sharks, turtles, and other fascinating marine species that call the reserve home.

This dive is for certified and experienced divers. All divers must provide their PADI Certification

* This dive site is also available as a private excursion for certified divers (840 USD is the starting rate for up to 4 divers). Please contact our Adventure Advisors, toll-free from USA &amp; Canada 1.888.526.2238 or SEND US AN EMAIL

Diving at the Marietas Islands

Your adventure begins on a boat that will take you 21 miles from the shore out into the furthest reaches of Banderas Bay. Depending on the time of year, you may spot dolphins cavorting in the water or a humpback whale breaching! The dive site, which is considered suitable for all levels, will wow you with its visibility.

Travel through these clear waters and see volcanic formations, arches, spires, tunnels, and caves, which create the perfect setting for an amazing experience. You’ll see tropical fish, giant manta rays and other creatures that will convince you that the Mexican Pacific is a truly amazing place for diving and snorkeling.

Why the Marietas Islands are So Beautiful

These islands have no human residents and were actually the site of bomb testing in the first half of the 20th century. There’s no way to know for sure, but many of the most interesting features of the archipelago may be man-made! In the 1960s, Jacques Cousteau pioneered the idea of protecting this ecosystem though it took many decades for the islands to be officially christened Parque Nacional Islas Marietas. Today, the remarkable flora and fauna that can be found here are flourishing and eco-exploration helps fund the continued efforts to keep the Marietas Islands pristine and ensure that the wildlife can thrive.

Scuba Dive at the Marietas Islands as Part of a Private Excursion

You can scuba at the Marietas Islands as part of a private trip for your friends, family, business colleagues, school or dive club. Just contact us and let us know what kind of Puerto Vallarta vacation you’re dreaming of, and we’ll help you create it. The Marietas Islands aren’t just a gorgeous diving spot; they’re also a beautiful spot for anyone who loves relaxing in nature. Non-divers love these islands because they can go snorkeling and explore gorgeous coral reefs, whale watch from a kayak drifting gently in the sea, and then swim to a sandbank, where there’s nothing to do but enjoy the warmth of the sun and take in all the beauty.

Get Certified to Scuba Dive at the Marietas Islands

Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center offers many dive certification courses designed to open up a world of opportunities beneath the surface of the sea, and many of our PADI certification courses can be completed while you are on your vacation if you do the book work before you leave home!

This certified dive lets you swim in the wake of conservationist Jacques Cousteau, who championed the Marietas Islands. It’s one of the best spots for Puerto Vallarta diving, with an underwater mountain range that is home to a wide variety of sea life. And while you dive, your family can explore what the islands have to offer above water from a kayak, snorkel or paddle board.

Scuba Dive at Marietas Islands

Are you ready for your next diving adventure? The expert team of Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center is excited to bring you to one of the best scuba spots in Puerto Vallarta on your next getaway! Nestled in a cluster of granite islands rising out of the waters of the southern part of Banderas Bay, Los Arcos is a truly thrilling place to explore.

There are the Devil’s Canyon and El Bajo, plus a fascinating multitude of beautiful fish, lobsters, octopuses, rays and eels. Every Monday, Friday and Saturday our PADI Divemasters bring divers to scuba dive at Los Arcos and discover the adventure that awaits underneath the waves!

Why Scuba Dive at Los Arcos

Los Arcos National Marine Park (or Los Arcos de Mismaloya) is located between two beaches, Mismaloya Beach and Las Gemelas. The waters here are some of the deepest in Banderas Bay and their depths conceal deep tunnels, caves, arches, teeming marine life like rays and sea turtles and a thriving reef. Los Arcos is particularly famous for its brilliantly colored nudibranchs and the other small creatures who call the rocky underwater slopes home.

The biodiversity down below mirrors what you’ll find above the waves, and because the water is so clear you can see it all in living color. When you join our PADI Divemaster to scuba dive at Los Arcos you get unprecedented access to an ecological paradise that has flourished thanks to the protection of the archipelago as well as Los Arcos’ status as a protected environment.

If you’ve never scuba dived before or haven't been certified yet, you’ll need to take a PADI Discover Scuba class first with Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center. In these classes, our PADI Instructors will teach you everything you need to know about scuba equipment and how to use it, breathing underwater and the safety procedures that make scuba diving safe. You can take the course at a variety of hotels in and around Puerto Vallarta and once you’ve completed it, you’ll be ready for your first dive. To reserve a PADI Discover Scuba class and a beginner dive, contact an Adventure Advisor today!

Safety Is a Top Priority

Every one of our scuba dives at Los Arcos is supervised by one PADI Divemaster per each group of four divers. We use the buddy system to ensure that no diver is every alone in a moment of uncertainty - help is always there.

Get Certified to Scuba Dive Los Arcos

We offer many dive certification courses that can open up a world of opportunities beneath the waves, and many of these courses can be completed while you are on your vacation! Our PADI Scuba Diver Certification is a quick way to take a PADI scuba course administered by a PADI Instructor in record time. You’ll receive a limited certification that allows you to dive more locations in the company of a dive guide.

One of the best Puerto Vallarta diving spots for certified divers, Los Arcos in Banderas Bay is home to El Bajo, the fascinating underwater mountain range, and Devil’s Canyon, as well as lobsters, octopuses, rays, eels, morays and other fascinating marine life you’ll discover under the waves. There is so much to see among the granite islands that diving here is a real thrill. Come with Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center!

Dolphin Extreme Lets Us Learn from One Another

Swimming with dolphins is an experience unlike any other, but these encounters are about more than just excitement. Marine mammal researchers still have a lot to learn about dolphins and how to protect them.

When people meet these curious, intelligent creatures face to face - whether they enjoy a shallow water encounter or swim with dolphins - they are inspired to learn more about how human beings can care for dolphin habitats and support conservation and research efforts.

We Take Animal Welfare Seriously

Dolphins and sea lions need downtime just like people, which is why we limit the length of our Dolphin Extreme encounters and other wildlife experiences.

Our dolphins and sea lions spend less than two hours each day interacting with people and then spend the rest of their time playing and interacting with one another, working closely with our trainers and relaxing in a safe and stimulating environment we have created just for them.

All of our animals are given regular checkups and their diets are closely monitored to ensure they stay healthy and happy. To learn more about how we care for our dolphins and sea lions, please take a look at our Corporate Responsibility page.

This experience also includes a bonus hands-on sea lion encounter where you’ll ham it up with one of these quirky creatures.

Caring for Our Dolphins

Our experience caring for these special mammals has taught us that dolphins need downtime as much as we do. The ethical treatment of our beloved dolphins is a top priority. That’s why we limit the duration of our Dolphin Signature Swim and other programs.

We make sure that our Pacific Bottlenose family spends no more than two hours each day interacting with visitors, and we give them plenty of time to play and interact with one another in the stimulating environment we have created for them.

Their days also include time in training, which is an important part of their enrichment. Health is another element of happiness, so all of the animals in our care are given regular checkups and enjoy a carefully monitored diet.

We pride ourselves on the ethical treatment of our dolphins. To learn more about how we care for our dolphins and sea lions, please take a look at the Humane Conservation program in which Dolphin Adventure is proudly certified.

Get Inspired by Your Swim Adventure with Dolphins

Everyone knows that dolphins are smart, friendly, and fun, but there’s actually a lot that scientists don’t know about these animals yet. What we do know is that we can all help protect them from the impact humans are making on their habitats.

Our programs help inspire people to think about how their actions impact the health of our oceans and of the creatures who call them home.

When people, in particular children, spend time with dolphins at our dolphin center and during other encounters, they naturally think more about how they can personally help dolphins thrive in the wild and are more likely to support research and conservation initiatives.

Safety Is Our First Priority at the Dolphin Center

We are serious about the safety of both our guests and our dolphins! Our staff has over 30 years of experience in all areas of the marine mammal field.

From overseeing the health and welfare of our dolphins to offering dolphin education programs at our marine life center, our team of specialists is working hard to create a greater understanding and appreciation of dolphins and the environment we share.

We are Committed to the Welfare of Our Animals

We strive to treat our dolphins like the intelligent and sensitive creatures they are. For that reason, we limit the length of the Dolphin Swim Adventure and other encounters so our Pacific Bottlenose families spend no more than two hours each day interacting with visitors.

They get ample downtime, with plenty of opportunities to play and interact with each other and to simply relax in the stimulating environment we have created for them at our dolphin center in Vallarta, Mexico.

They also work with our trainers to ensure they’re getting plenty of enrichment. And because their physical well-being is an important part of their welfare, our dolphins receive regular checkups and enjoy a carefully monitored diet.

To learn more about why we invest so much into the care of our dolphins, please take a look at our Corporate Responsibility page.

Dolphin Adventure has been recognized with the Humane Conservation certification for providing the best care to our dolphins and sea lions.

Dolphin Adventure

Our Dolphin Encounter is perfect for the whole family because it gives adults, kids, and non-swimmers of all ages a chance to interact with and learn everything about these friendly and intelligent mammals.

For 20 minutes, you will learn all about the Pacific Bottlenose from the best possible teacher - one of our cheerful dolphins! As part of this small-group program, you’ll communicate with your dolphin like the professionals do and make a new friend for life.

The experience will be a truly magical one that you will never, ever forget.   

A Dolphin Encounter for the Whole Family

Under the guidance of our knowledgeable marine mammal specialists, children as young as one can bond with a dolphin through touch and play. Have you ever wondered what a dolphin feels like?

Or dreamed of giving one of these playful animals a hug and getting a wet dolphin kiss in return? You and your family will do all that and more in our specially designed shallow-water habitat.

Your program will begin with a short poolside introduction to our dolphins! Our trainers will share information about the Pacific Bottlenose’s fascinating anatomy, what makes them unique among marine mammals, their history with human beings and their underwater social lives.

From there, you’ll get into the water and start interacting with your new dolphin friend. You’ll feel their sleek skin, give them a treat, play with them, give them a smooch and learn interesting facts about their behavior.

Communicate Directly with Dolphins

On our shallow water platform, you’ll be able to concentrate on the experience of getting to know your dolphin and letting them get to know you. Bonding is the focus of this dolphin encounter, and you’ll discover that these curious creatures are just as interested in learning more about you!

Throughout the encounter, you will feel the warmth and sense the intelligence of what we believe are the ocean's friendliest creatures.

Why Connecting with Dolphins Is Important

We believe everyone should learn how to best protect them from the impact human beings have on their habitats.

When people, especially children, have an opportunity to interact with dolphins through our Dolphin Encounter, they’re inspired both to learn more about what they can do personally to ensure that dolphins in the wild can thrive and to support ongoing research and conservation efforts.

We Take Our Dolphins’ Welfare Seriously

To ensure our dolphins stay healthy and happy, they are given regular checkups and their diets are closely monitored. For more information about why we invest so much in the care of our animals, please take a look at our Corporate Responsibility page.

We are extremely proud to provide the highest standards of animal care to our dolphins and sea lions. Learn more about the Humane Conservation certification that Dolphin Adventure obtained.

Bond with Puerto Vallarta dolphins in this magical, shallow-water encounter that offers a true face-to-face experience. With a marine mammal specialist at your side, you’ll learn everything you wanted to know about dolphins directly from these intelligent, empathetic creatures just as they will learn more about people from you. You’ll be on a shallow platform during the entire encounter, so strong swimming skills aren’t necessary to get up close and personal with your dolphin and even communicate directly with hand signals just like trainers use.

Dolphin Encounter

Kids ages 4-9 can experience the magic of swimming and play with dolphins on this once-in-a-lifetime 20-minute Dolphin Kids experience.

This adventure begins at our world-renowned Dolphin Center where our Marine Mammal Specialists will give the children a short educational speech about marine mammals and conservation.

After the short class, you’ll be close by as your kids (outfitted with lifejackets) enter our specially designed shallow water pool and are greeted by our friendly Pacific Bottlenose dolphins.

During the encounter, you’ll have a great time watching your kids pet, hug, and play with our dolphins under the watchful eyes of our trainers.

This is a great hands-on learning experience that’s designed especially for younger children to have fun and learn more about dolphins and will most definitely be the highlight of their time in Puerto Vallarta!

A Truly Kid-Friendly Dolphin Encounter

You’ll be close by as your children (wearing life jackets, of course) enter our specially designed shallow water pool with our trainers and are greeted by the smiling faces and unique vocalizations of members of our family of highly-trained Pacific Bottlenose dolphins.

All of our marine mammal encounter programs, including Dolphin Kids, have a remarkable and well-established safety record, so you can sit back in the observation area, relax and enjoy watching your kids giggle and splash around with their new flippered friends.

Make Lasting Memories

Children in the Dolphin Kids encounter will do more than meet a dolphin! They will pet and hug the dolphins, check out their fascinating anatomy firsthand, shake a fin and even get a wet dolphin kiss. Our goal is to give kids who love dolphins the chance to be closer to these amazing animals than they ever dreamed - and the opportunity to do it all independently.

Having this kind of experience with a group of other kids and our trainers (instead of with their parents) makes many young children feel extra grown up and special.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Conservationists

When children swim with dolphins, they fall in love with these intelligent, curious creatures and are driven to protect them. Helping kids understand why marine research and conservation is important isn’t always easy! But when kids have a chance to meet and communicate with a dolphin, they feel a stronger personal connection to the oceans and marine life.

Kids who swim with dolphins naturally want to do their part to keep our oceans clean and healthy. After their Dolphin Kids encounter, your child may even decide they want to become a marine biologist!

We Take Our Dolphins’ Wellbeing Seriously

Our dolphins receive top-notch healthcare and a diet that is closely monitored by experts to ensure that they are as healthy and as happy as they can be in our care. For more information about why we take dolphin welfare so seriously, please read through our Corporate Responsibility page.

The American Humane Association has granted Dolphin Adventure the Humane Conservation certification, which recognizes the high standards we follow in the care of our dolphins and sea lions.

Swimming with dolphins isn’t just for grownups! This safe and fun small-group encounter was designed especially for children ages four to nine, who get a one-of-a-kind opportunity to swim with dolphins in Puerto Vallarta while their parents enjoy the fun from the sidelines. Imagine the delight on your child’s face as they step into a shallow water pool where they are greeted by the happy grins of friendly, curious Puerto Vallarta dolphins. They’ll spend the rest of the encounter playing with their new flippered friends under the watchful eyes of our experienced trainers.

Did you know that Pacific sea lions are fin-footed marine mammals? Or that they are members of the “eared seal” family, which means they have external ear flaps that set them apart from other seals? You’ll learn more about these and so many other sea lion facts during your encounter!

Playtime in the Water

Get ready to clown around! Sea lions are known for their intelligence, affectionate playfulness, and noisy “barking.” And, you’ll experience all of that and more in your sea lion encounter. You can pet a sea lion, shake a flipper, give them a hug and maybe even get a wet, fishy kiss in return.

The silly faces they make are a delight to behold! Are you ready for a full-flipper hug? We’ll have photographers on hand while you’re swimming with sea lions to capture all the memories of this incredible experience.

We Treat Our Sea Lions Like Family

We want to ensure that our sea lions are always excited to meet and play with our guests, and we do that by treating them like family. They get the downtime they need between encounters, and none of our animals ever spends more than two hours a day interacting with people. 

That gives our sea lions plenty of time to rest, relax, play with one another and work with our trainers - which is an important element of their daily enrichment. And we want all of our animals to be as healthy as they are happy, so we feed them a carefully curated diet and give them regular checkups.

The choice is yours… luxury or adventure… thrills in nature or blissing out on the beach… wherever it is you want to go, our Private Flights can take you there.

Fly privately to some of the most awe-inspiring places in Mexico

No other mode of travel allows you to carve out itineraries like these!

Why not visit the Tlaquepaque Markets in Guadalajara, where the vast courtyards have been transformed into an upmarket shopping destination? Or perhaps you enjoy the thrill of the hunt, in which case you should head south to Tonalá, where individuals and wholesalers shop side by side in a bustling market that’s anything but touristy.

Or perhaps you are a tequila lover! Mundo Cuervo in the town of Tequila awaits, where you can stroll through La Rojeña, the oldest distillery in the Americas, and take part in a professional tequila tasting directly from the oak cask. There’s also so much natural beauty and history here that Mundo Cuervo is still a treat even for the tequila novice.

Our Private Flights can also fly you to the colonial towns of San Miguel de Allende and Oaxaca - which were chosen as two of the top 10 cities to visit in the Americas by Conde Nast Traveler's readers choice awards - or to the exclusive resort towns that draw so many visitors to Mexico.

Private Flights

You will visit two beautiful colonial Pueblos Mágicos in this easy, full-day tour that brings the history and culture of Mexico to life with dazzling sights, traditional architecture, unique customs, and friendly people! How you spend your time in these two small villages is up to you.

Let us create an itinerary that includes the best sights and flavors of both Talpa and Mascota, or tell us exactly how you’d like to enjoy your day. Breathe in the fresh mountain air of Mascota for half the day and then enjoy the sweet scent of traditional candy cooking in Talpa. Sightsee, shop, and snack your way around a part of Mexico that many travelers overlook!

Why Choose a Private Talpa and Mascota Tour

Choosing a private tour of these Pueblos Mágicos means that you can create your perfect day trip itinerary from beginning to end. Maybe you’d like to spend some extra time in contemplation in Our Lady of The Rosary cathedral in Talpa - a religious site of great renown which attracts thousands of pilgrims each year.

Or perhaps you can’t wait to tour one of the many candy factories and want to be sure you’ll have plenty of time for samples. Our Adventure Advisors will help you design a perfect private Talpa and Mascota tour that includes everything you want to do on your day in the mountains and nothing you don’t.

When visiting Puerto Vallarta, don't miss a Private Tour to Talpa &amp; Mascota. For larger groups and to start planning your Tour to Talpa and Mascota in private, contact our Travel Advisor at 1-888-526-2238 or info@vallarta-adventures.com.Visiting Mascota

Bring a light sweater with you because this small colonial town in the Sierras can be cooler and drier than Puerto Vallarta. It’s truly charming here, with a vibe that might convince you that you’ve gone back in time. Mascota was once an important trading city, but now agriculture is the most common calling - so much so that the fruit you enjoyed as you ate breakfast in Puerto Vallarta may have been grown right here in Mascota.

#break#

There’s a lot more to enjoy than the produce here, however. Make time to sample raicilla, a local moonshine, sip a "café de olla" or a rompope, to nibble the local sweets and tour the Mascota Casa de Cultura Museum to learn more about the petroglyphs that have been found around Mascota. Mascota is also famous for the "Fred Flintstone" house (El Museo de Piedra El Pedregal), which Francisco Rodriguez Pena has been building from stone by himself for more than 20 years!

Visiting Talpa

Just half an hour by car from Mascota you’ll find Talpa. This village is known for the pilgrimages people make to the stately twin-spired church that is home to a beloved representation of the blessed virgin, Nuestra Senora del Rosario (known as The Virgin of Talpa). Visitors also come for the lush sweeping views, the friendly people and for the rollos de guayaba, a type of sweet treat made of guava. Religious processions happen daily, but for the best and most impressive of them plan your visit on a Sunday! Shops abound, and the coffee in the region is worth a taste, as is the homemade, cream-based rompope liquor that is produced here.

Contact our Travel Advisor today to begin planning your private tour to Talpa &amp; Mascota: 1-888-526-2238 or info@vallarta-adventures.com.

Visit not one, but two colonial Pueblos Magicos that are alive with dazzling sights, traditional architecture, unique customs and people ready to welcome you into their hearts. Choosing a private tour means that you can create your ultimate day trip from beginning to end. Perhaps you’d like to spend extra time in Our Lady of The Rosary cathedral in Talpa, which attracts thousands of religious pilgrims each year. Or maybe touring one of the candy factories sounds sweeter. Our Adventure Advisors will help you design perfect private tours around Puerto Vallarta!
