With the boat tours they tell you exactly when to show up. The computers have all your details and if there's a problem or if you have questions, they help you and are very professional about it. Your ticket is clear- which boat number and trip you're on. They make announcements ahead of time and it's in an orderly fashion. Once on the boat, it's party time. They have different styles of boats depending on your trip but they all are clean and operated by professionals. I'm saying this a lot because when safety matters, you want to know that people are trained for their jobs. We had a highly skilled captain, very entertaining and informative tour guide and many helpful deckhands. We snorkeled (clean equipment), bird watched, saw many whales, sea turtles and went to a secluded beach. All food and drinks provided were tasty and abundant. We arrived back at port safely and highly enjoyed our excursion. If we had more time, we would have done more.

We were in PV for 7 days and our first adventure here was the dolphin swim which was a definite…read morebucket list for me. Our swim was VERY interactive and hands-on and they spent a lot of time explaining dolphin behavior. My dolphin's name was Paco, a 7-year-old male. My girlfriend's dolphin's name was Shany, she was a 30 year old female. The trainers we had were absolutely AMAZING!!! For an additional $30 we were also able to book a swim with the sea lions. The entire staff was extremely helpful and thoughtful. We had such a great experience with the dolphin swim that before we left we booked our next adventure to Rhythms of the Night. This was yet another fantastic experience. The boat ride there and back were both a complete blast. Dinner on the island was more than we expected. The show itself blew us away. We will definitely be booking with them when we return to Puerto Vallarta!

We took a beautiful boat ride to a secluded location, had wonderful food, and absolutely all the drinks you could possibly want. All for a very reasonable price, better than anything our cruise line offered. The people were all awesome. They all wore shirts that said "I my job!" And it felt like they actually did. It was like a bunch of friends invited you to a really awesome party. The place we stopped at had it all. Beautiful pool. Large hot tub. Great snorkeling. Paddle boards if you wanted. A great hike to a lovely waterfall. And if you just wanted to soak up the sun, they had really comfy loungers. On the way back, we were all feeling great and most of us started dancing. We all probably looked silly but were having way too much fun too care. Next time in Puerto Vallarta we are absolutely booking these folks again. Thank you for an amazing time for both my wife and me. Chico Locca is the best.

The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming from the start. Fair warning: the drinks start flowing around 9am, so pace yourself and bring lots of sunscreen -- the sun + cocktails add up quickly. The booze selection is pretty generic, but plentiful, and the snacks along the way are appreciated. The fajita lunch was solid and hit the spot after a morning on the water. Shoutout to Ricky Ricardo, truly the hostess with the mostest -- high energy, fun, and kept the vibe going all day. Luis was also fantastic, constantly checking in and somehow remembering everyone's names, which made the experience feel very personal and welcoming. They even slowed the boat down so we could watch whales, which was a highlight, and having a photographer on board was a nice touch to capture the day. The music on the ride home was a little outdated, but honestly... it just turned into a dance party anyway -- especially once the tequila shots started making the rounds. All in all, a great excursion with a fun crowd, attentive staff, and memorable moments. Easy 4 stars and a solid choice if you're looking for a lively day trip while in Puerto Vallarta.

We booked the whale/dolphin/turtle tour, and had communication about the whale/dolphin tour. The tour was incredible. The guides were so knowledgeable and facilitated a wonderful experience. We heard some magical whale singing that we will remember forever. I should have asked them then about the turtle tour, but I texted and emailed them afterwards without any response. We paid for the whale/dolphin and turtle combo, meaning we got scammed for the additional cost of the turtle tour. Very disappointed.

There is really nothing not to like about this experience!We would highly recommend it to anyone for their vacation. You arrive at the port at 8:30 then head to a snorkel spot, finally arriving at the beach at noon. But that is after you swing past downton Puerto Vallarta so you can see old town from he boat - really beautiful. One tip- my husband and 7-year old went on the zip lining tour and it is really more of an obstacle/ adventure course where good shoes are preferable (they had flip flops on!). They found it challenging but they did it! I'd suggest bringing water or climbing shoes, and maybe skip it if you aren't up for a hike. Ater a few hours at the beach and an authentic mexican lunch where waiters brought us drinks constantly no matter where we were, we headed back to port. We were back by 4pm - an ideal day in paradise, si!

I appreciated having the crew explain how to operate the ATV, safety advice, and how they followed along with the riders making sure we were all OK and taking photos & videos. The ATVs were well-maintained and in good working order. We had no breakdowns or operational issues among our tour group. We enjoyed the views and the stops along the way where we got to try making tortillas, and having a snack by the cool creek. We also stopped for a tequila tasting, which was informative and fun. The tour started at the Estigo facility in town and we were escorted out of town by the Estigo guides. It's a bit bumpy riding in town on cobblestone roads, but as soon as we were out of town it was smooth riding. We did a morning tour, so I struggled with sunlight in my eyes, which proved to be a bit concerning when rounding corners as we headed up the hills leaving town. I admit to white-knuckling the early part of the ride. Once we were in the foothills, I was able to relax and enjoy the surroundings. I booked this tour on my own through the Estigo website, which made it a much better value than one of the cruise ship excursions. We also had a smaller group and just took a cab from the cruise port to Estigo's faculty. I definitely recommend Estigo if you are looking for a fun activity when visiting Puerto Vallarta!

I called twice to confirm pick up location as we booked through CC and it automatically defaulted to other location. The women stated she didn't care what they confirmed they had it at other location. They did not call when we did not show up and didn't seem to care because they already got the money. Initially she claimed it would take 2 hours to get another boat but then magically was able to get one there in an hour after we finally contacted them which was 2 hours past the scheduled time. They provided a "future credit" for two people for a group tour as "compensation". The women was very rude on the phone. I asked her to speak to the gentlemen's who I spoke to the previous day and she indicated he was not in. Be aware when booking and document everything. In addition, the captain did not walk us out of the dock which was required to be let out. Another captain had to open gate. While their reply states they did not have our information. It is able to be seen I had two conversations directly with them and attached the photos showing their number.
