This snorkeling trip was the highlight of my vacation! Although we planned to visit Islas Marietas,…read morethe guides recommended Los Arcos since we had a couple kids and I'm so glad we did that. The arches had a pretty good display of tropical fish, blue-footed boobies, and a bunch of crabs crawling on the rocks. Very fun for all of us from 6-61 years old. Then they took us to a little beach area where there was good food (and lots of vendors selling stuff). Rodrigo was our main guide and I felt like I took a mini course on local marine life, he was awesome. Ever was our main scout and he was also amazing, helping to make my niece feel more at ease in the water. Emilio, our boat captain was quiet and made me feel completely safe. I also spotted him picking up trash in the water so that will always make someone level-up in my book. I would go back to PV just to repeat that trip. I highly recommend EcoExplorer!

Unforgettable Whale Watching Experience with Carlos!…read more Carlos and his whale watching group were absolutely amazing! We saw a ton of whales, including incredible head pop-ups that took our breath away. Carlos and his team are extremely knowledgeable and shared so much insight about the whales and their behavior, which made the experience even more special. What really stood out was their deep respect for the environment and the animals. They clearly prioritize responsible, ethical whale watching, which is the most important thing. You can tell they truly care about protecting these magnificent creatures. If you're looking for an unforgettable, respectful, and educational whale watching experience, i highly recommend.

Johnny, the tour guide, knows a lot about whales! He is outgoing and funny. We loved our whale…read morewatching cruise. Season just started so we were the only ones on the boat. We felt pretty special. We saw several whales and two gigantic manatees which was pretty exciting. The staff of 4 went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Great crew - delicious lunch with the best guacamole ever (made fresh)! The girl who took pictures was a sweetheart. The captain was very persistent on his search for whales. Highly recommend this company - best employees!

Our concierge signed us up for whale watching with this company and we were pretty happy with our…read moreexperience. I don't think it was their fault but we were taken by surprise when we were required to pay a dock fee before boarding the boat. It isn't large, just a few dollars but the concierge didn't give us any heads up and had told us we only needed about 50 pesos for a tip. If we had only brought that we wouldn't have had enough to pay the dock fee, plus 50 pesos is way too small for a tip. I would suggest $20 per person. (plus some for the dock fee) They are fine with US dollars, by the way. Our crew worked very hard to make us happy, though not sure they have the best naturalist on board. We were there in February and saw lots of whales, even a mother with a one week old baby who was anxious to show off for us! There is a morning option and an afternoon option. Even though it is early for vacation do the morning option! The water is cooler and the whales are more active. We had two people on our boat that had gone earlier in the week on the afternoon excursion but hadn't seen anything. We were served a sandwich and drinks were all included - yes even the alcoholic ones. If you are a vegetarian you should let them know when you book so they have a sandwich option on board for you. I wish that they had some type of speaker system on board for educational purposes, we couldn't hear what the "guide" was saying about the whales once the boat was moving. Plus I'm not sure that he was actually an expert in whales or just kind of picked it up. The boat isn't that comfortable. There are beanbag cushions to sit on but they squish down and then you can't turn around to see the whales as they and the boat move or even just stand up easily. Finally, smaller boats seemed to be able to get up closer to the whales so even though this was a boat of only 25 passengers it might have been better to be on an even smaller boat.
