The yacht slips away from the marina and the bay opens like a road of glass; the 55‑foot private yacht hums, and the city recedes into palms and cliffs. Over six hours you'll skim volcanic headlands, thread between granite islets at Los Arcos Marine Park and drop anchor at small coves where the water goes suddenly clear enough to read the seafloor.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The yacht slips away from the marina and the bay opens like a road of glass; the 55‑foot private yacht hums, and the city recedes into palms and cliffs. Over six hours you'll skim volcanic headlands, thread between granite islets at Los Arcos Marine Park and drop anchor at small coves where the water goes suddenly clear enough to read the seafloor.
Los Arcos began as volcanic rock reshaped by waves into steep arches and caves; today it's protected for its coral beds and reef fish. From the deck you see the layered cliffs that mark the transition from Sierra Madre foothills to the Bay of Banderas, and you pass fishing villages whose menus and rhythms trace a long coastal tradition of seafood and small-boat craft.
Practical side: the tour is private for up to 12, includes towels, bottled water, snorkel gear, a floating lily pad and light snacks (fresh fruit and guacamole), plus 12 beers or sodas. Beaches on the route — Colomitos, Playa el Paredón, Majahuitas and Las Ánimas — have limited services; restaurants at Las Ánimas accept cash and cards but boat transfers and meals ashore are extra.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a hat, swimwear and secure footwear for rocky landings. If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding; dress in light layers and plan to hydrate. Photography is easy from the foredeck, and quiet moments with binoculars can reward you with frigatebirds and, in season, humpback sightings offshore. The pace balances easy cruising with active snorkeling and short beach stops — a practical, scenic way to read Puerto Vallarta from the water.
