BAY CRUISES

Additional Tours Available From Puerto Vallarta

Nuevo Vallarta's location on Banderas Bay lends itself well to one of the most wonderful experiences to be had in Puerto Vallarta - seeing the city from the water.  It's picturesque setting, cut into the jungle-draped hillsides of the Sierra Madre, with the city skyline reflecting in the blue waters of the bay, is truly memorable.  Aside from that, these great bay cruises will take you to the best snorkeling areas and beaches Puerto Vallarta has to offer.  During whale season, you can often see whales from the boat.

Nuevo Vallarta Bay Cruise FAQ's

Q: WHAT IS THE WATER TEMPERATURE IN PUERTO VALLARTA?
A: During the summer months, the water is bathtub warm, approaching 85?F.  During the winter months, it cools down significantly, and you often find temperatures dipping into the high 60s to low 70s.  The Marietas Islands tends to be about 5 degrees cooler than the sites closer to the beaches.

Q: WHAT IS THE VISIBILITY LIKE?
A: The best visibility is found during the summer months, when visibility can reach 100-130 feet.  During the winter months, you'll find it to be about 15-60 feet.

Q: ARE THERE FISH?
A: Yes, there are a lot of fish to be seen.  To really see lots of fish, we recommend Los Arcos followed by the Marietas Islands the most, though all the sites will have plenty to see.

Q: I'VE SEEN ANOTHER BOAT SOMEWHERE THAT I DON'T SEE LISTED - WHY?
A: Essentially, all the bay cruises are very similar.  The differences are in the crew and the locations that they go.  We've found our favorite crews for each of the different locations around Banderas Bay - to add more would just be duplicating tours.  There are several dozen boats in the bay, and they aren't much different from each other.  We also have many more to choose from that depart from the Puerto Vallarta marina, about 10 - 15 minutes by taxi from Nuevo Vallarta.
