Cynthia and Martin were very helpful and good with every one on the boat. We saw many Dolphins and whales. Both were very safety conscious. We had a young boy terrified of getting in the water. They were so good with him. Truly a good team.

I think that the pictures you see here accurately summarize what you will experience. Departing from the Vallarta marina, we had an amazing 2-3 hours. The tour started with us heading north to look for the dolphins. Then we headed to "Los Arcos" to do some snorkeling, and then headed back to the marina. The only reason why I liked this tour so much was the fact that the team was super respectful of the animals. We weren't told to jump into the water unless the guide saw the the dolphins were acting in an inviting manner. You will see dolphins in the wild which is important. These are not animals trapped in a pool for your enjoyment. There are animals living their life and you are entering their home. You might not come out of this experience with a picture of a dolphin pulling you around and that is what I most liked about this. Responsible and respectful tourism... I love the concept. Berenice was great and I look forward to meet her again shall I ever go back to Vallarta. Tip: don't pay online, pay in the office with local currency. This should make your activity cheaper.

My son and I recently went with Ecotours Vallarta to swim with the dolphins. We had an amazing time even though our actual dolphin encounter was shortened due to pesky jetski's chasing off the dolphins. By far the best part of the trip was our guide Margarita (Maggie) and our captain. Maggie has obviously spend many years with the dolphins in the bay and was extremely knowledgable about dolphins in general but especially the resident dolphins. One thing I want to mention is that the boat is a smaller boat, there is no bathroom onboard. It's great in the sense that it only allows for a small group, and you're able to be more flexible in finding the dolphins, but if you have a problematic bladder you'll be in trouble.

Love this tour. It was so amazing to swim in the wild with dolphins. Then after that they took us to a place for snorkeling, and that was also amazing. The tour guide Michael and captain Rafael were great. The group size is small so more personable and better experience. We did another tour before this one with Vallarta Adventures and it was no way near this experience. Definitely best bang for your buck and would do it again. Loved it.

My partner and I did two fantastic activities with Ecotours Vallarta this week, both led by Margarita ("Maggie"). We did the sea turtle release on Monday, and we did the dolphin encounter today. This is an amazing company that truly seems to care about the environment and the local wildlife. Maggie is incredibly friendly, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about sea turtles, dolphins, other wildlife, and the environment. We highly recommend Ecotours Vallarta, and we will definitely be back to try some of their other activities!
