“Joaquin & Danny were amazing! We had such a fun morning learning to surf. My sons did great with their instructions. And had a blast. I did not think I would get up on the board but I did! Danny & Joaquin are patient, kind, funny and amazing instructors. You cannot go wrong with 10/10 experience.”

3.2 Hours Catamaran Sunset Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 18 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $99

Sail from Nuevo Vallarta at 5:00 pm on a spacious catamaran along Puerto Vallarta’s coast. You’ll have an international bar, vegan ceviche, dips, tapas, pesto pasta, and possibly live saxophone as the sky changes color. The boat returns to the Paradise Village pier.

“Fantastic cruise, friendly staff, open bar was great. Don’t do this for the Food ( I’d say it was a 3 out of 10 ), but everything else was fantastic. Being here in January, we saw lots and lots of whales, fairly close by, for at least half the cruise. Awesome experience!”
