“Our visit to Las Caletas Beach was one of the highlights of our recent Mexican Riviera Cruise. Carlos and his team made the boat ride to the beach a fun experience for our family. Carlos and his team entertained us during the boat ride and they were willing to take care of any needs that the guests had. The food was good and the beach and activities offered were wonderful. My youngest daughter enjoyed interacting with the monkeys, the donkey ride, and her favorite part was the zip line. The rest of our family had a great time snorkeling, cayacking and hanging out on the beach. This was a GREAT excursion and we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Carlos and team, please keep up the GREAT work and we look forward to visiting again in the near future.”

“We book this tour every time we take a mexico cruise! it is the highlight of the entire cruise. We have always seen plenty of whales and dolphins on the ride out. If you have a weak stomach i suggest you take a Dramamine before hand as it is a fast choppy ride. first time out two of us got very sick as we sat in the sun for over an hour watching amazing whales, and as soon as we arrived their were hosts that took one look at us and quickly took us to the luncheon area and gave us some sort of drink that seriously worked in minutes! The food is good, the people are nice! we were able to snorkle and kayak and my son took a nap in a hammock. Clean beach and bathrooms. The even have a rinse off area too. the rest of our day was saved due to the kindness of the staff there! the island is fantastic and when we left we saw the jellyfish all light up around us. truly spectacular!”

“This was our second Vallarta Adventures tour. We enjoyed every moment of it. Las Caletas was worth every penny. My 5 year old loved the ziplining and the pictures we ordered were great. Lorena and Denise were great; I just wished it was Giovanni who was the tour guide. he was hilarious from our previous trip to Yelapa. We enjoyed the lunch and the free flowing margaritas. Muchas Gracias for making our trip enjoyable and worthwhile.”

“I took my wife for her birthday on a cruise which stopped in Vallarta. We obviously took the trip to Las Caletas Island. We had the most fabulous and perfect time there. The guys were great on the trip over and back and on the island itself. It's got to be hard to smile that much! :) We wil definately be back when we make this trip again. Thank you for a great time.”

“This was our second trip in 2 years to Las Caletas! We will book it EVERY TIME we go to Mexico, for sure! We didn't want to commit ourselves to any excursions this year (so we could just relax), except for Las Caletas. We had so much fun the 1st time, we did not want to miss going back. On top of the fantastic crew and service throughout the trip, the food is fantastic. The Paella is the best and the guacamole that you get to taste during the cooking class is out of this world! My mouth was watering the whole day waiting for these. This year there was an addition to the tour, and that was the kids canopy! My kids had such a blast and the guides were beyond words hilarious!!! Lorena, aka, "Lori", was a spitfire with a sense of humor that had my youngest son, "Zacharia", (which she nicknamed), in stitches laughing! And Denise, was just as great, backing up Lori's crazy humor! The female photographer (forgot her name..oops), was a great addition to the crew for the photo moments thru the trees! By far, best part of the day...along side the food! It's a great day all together. I only wish the day was longer!!! I will book it EVERY time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Just returned from a Carnival cruise to the Mexican Riviera. Puerto Vallarta was 1st on board and the Rhythm of the nights was the excursion we planned.. I can't tell you with words the beauty of the secluded beach and the awesome show of ancient customs and the dancing they captivated us with. So exotic in nature and yet so intimate and romantic. The jungle setting and the tropical back ground wow far exceeded my expectations. I haven't even said anything about the dinner. Authentic Mexican cuisine what a welcome change from cruise ship food. All in all this excursion should be tops in things to do in Vallarta!!! My wife and i want to return and stay on this Island and soon as possible.”

“This was one of the best tours that I have ever taken. We, meaning my husband, myself and mother-in-law, had such a great time. We would love to go back. I had never thought that this would be as beautiful as it was. It was very hard to leave when the tour was over. Everyone was wonderful. We met some very nice people on this tour and the staff was fantastic. They were very helpful and informative. The food was above and beyond many tours that are offered. The cooking class was great and we enjoyed all the food. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks for a great time and hope to see again very soon.”

“I took the morning trip to Las Caletas for the day. Alain was our cruise director, assisted by Caesar. My waiter was Jayro. All three were fabulous. The trip was the best I have had in years and I hope you will do something nice for these three guys for all the special attention they provided to make the cruise and visit so pleasurable and memorable. I will use Vallarta Adventures again.”

“On our trip to Las Caletas, my husband and son went scuba diving. They took a lesson the day before at the Hotel Buenaventura which went very well. The tour guides on the boat were so happy, enthusiastic and did a great job. I was most impressed with the cleanliness of the beach, particularly as I watched the staff prepare for the evening group coming in after us. Sweeping the sand, setting the tables and putting out candles everywhere looked perfect to watch the show at night. The tables of two/four, rather than long tables with multitudes of strangers cramming in together (as I’ve seen with other tours) looked very appealing. The food was also pretty good – no easy feat when you are serving a large group. Speaking of which, it is impressive that you keep the group to a number that is manageable; it is clear that you are concerned with the experience. The bathroom facilities were well maintained and blended well with the surroundings. Great Job guys!”

“I went to Las Caletas at the beginning of this year with my girlfriend (now fiancee) during the day. The boat ride over was great. Boating past Los Arcos was really neat and we saw a whale and a giant sea turtle. We were just looking for a place to relax. On the boat ride over, the crew is fantastic-getting people pumped up about doing activities and explaining when and where things happen. When we got there, they explained to everyone which beach was the activity beach and which beach was not. We went to the non-activity beach. We wanted a beach chair, book and some drinks. This place was perfect! The drinks were brought to us. You do not have to do the activities if you dont feel like it. When we ate lunch by the ocean-a couple of pelicans joined us on the rocks. We enjoyed everthing about it-except having to leave. My parents have done the Rhythms of the Night and said it was awesome. If you go to relax, it is great. We are considering having our wedding there!”
