Overview

Discover this magnificent snorkeling site and watch Puerto Vallarta from the sea! Los Arcos is a group of five islets, between 15 and 150 feet high, located in the waters of Bahía de Banderas, about 6 miles south of Puerto Vallarta city. Three of these islets have natural tunnels from which their current name comes; once they were known as Las Peñas. This site presents a great scenic beauty, because among its rocks and vegetation nest and rest various marine and coastal birds such as brown pelicans, magnificent frigatebirds, seagulls, herons, among others. It also has an important diversity of marine life, since dozens of fish species live here, such as the Moorish idol, the king angelfish, the giant damselfish, balloon fish and even manta rays; also, we can observe corals, sponges and many other marine invertebrates and, with a bit of luck, sea turtles can be seen resting among the bottom rocks.

Last minute Snorkelling -2 spots

Published on Dec, 2023

Joined a small group (4 of us) to go snorkelling at 2 locations. Our guide Cynthya was amazing, as well as our Captain (I unfortunately forget his name). We had a lot of fun. Conditions were excellent for seeing fish, and the emphasis of the tour was to go to the spot with the best conditions and least crowds. We were lucky enough to see whales and dolphins on the way. Cynthya spotted a ray and s turtle gor us to see while snorkelling.

Great tour, worth ever Peso!

Published on Oct, 2023

We had an amazing trip! Michael, the guide, was fabulous and very knowledgeable. The boat captain and the office staff were great too. Highly recommend this tour. It is well worth the money. It’s also a great way to see the PV coast from Nueva to “where the highway ends” and beyond where the villages are only accessible by boat. We saw many kinds of fish, a sea turtle, spotted rays, and urchins and coral. And all this without the hassles of a large tour group on a cramped boat. The personalization of the tour is a great selling point.

Worth Every Peso and Great Service

Published on Oct, 2023

This was scheduled independent of but as part of a cruise that stopped for a day in PV. It was WAY better than a shore excursion through the ship. It was easy to schedule, great communication, very fair pricing, excellent staff. Our guide Michael was amazing. The captain of the boat was really wonderful as well. If you arrive by cruise ship their offices are within walking distance. I would definitely recommend this tour company.

Magical snorkel - well worth it

Published on Jul, 2023

We had a great private tour with Cristina and Rafa to swim through Los Arcos and then on to snorkel in a magical private cove. They made sure we found clear water and pointed out dolphin, lobster, eel, turtle and more! Highly recommend this smaller company rather than one of the big tours. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable!

Hiking with Maggie

Published on Feb, 2023

This was such an awesome hike. Maggie was a fantastic guide and knew so much about the area. The path you walk along isn't terribly steep but you will want to be in decent shape. The snorkeling is beautiful and we even saw a turtle and heard whales!!!
