We went on one of the snorkeling tours last year and it was a pretty cool experience. Chico's dive shop took us this time and we got a lot closer to the rocks than we had the previous year when we had taken one of the booze cruises. We saw a great deal of fish the second time but I really wouldn't consider the trip worth it if your not ...
We went early to arrive before the scuba boats at 10 am or so. The water is less murky and stirred up plus the fish have not had their breakfast yet and are undisturbed. Highly recommended. We got a group together for a small boat and tossed torn day old tortillas. Sit very still with your camera aimed at the surface where the tortillas are tossed. ...

Bad experience

They sold my room with a kitchenette - promise to give me another the next day, but it never happened, the service desk all they kept saying is tomorrow- rooms are very small and very uncomfortable - - bad parking. Bad experience

Good time
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/26/07
We took a small boat ride (from our hotel) to Los Arcos. The water is not going to be as clear as most would like but it is still a good time. The water is a little murky. We had dolphins swimming around the boat on our way out. The view of the mountains was great. We had a few cold Pacificos in hand. The people are always friendly. We paid 45 USD ...
To start off I'm certainly no expert diver nor have I snorkeled many reefs, but overall my underwater experience at Los Arcos was mediocre at best. My experience in the British Virgin Islands (Monkey Point), left me imagining a vast and colorful landscape full of schools of brightly colored fish and matching ocean floor. This dive revealed ...

Nice!

Great vieuw. From our balcany we could see the dolphins jumping in the bay. Very good located in the center of PV. A bit noisy but that did not really bother.
My family and I had some good times in Puerto Vallarta, but we did not enjoy this experience at all. It just seemed like we were taken for a ride. A cruise to Los Arcos left a bad taste in our collective mouth, literally and figuratively.
We were on a ship called "Sarape", one of many similar ships being operated in the Banderas ...

I WILL GO BACK SOON
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/14/06
I was born in a little town close to Puerto Vallarta called El Tuito Jalisco. I lived in Puerto Vallarto for about 5 years and I can tell you that it is a precious place to go for a vacation and have fun with all your family. The food is really good and in every corner you will find someone that says hi to you and help you in anything you need.
Hmm, well I guess locally these might mean something, but they were just a few big rocks covered in bird poop left in the sea for me. Take a look if you're on that side of the bay, but don't expect a Stonehenge like experience...
