What a magical place! The Willy Wonka of plant world and totally brilliant for the beauty and the plant variety. The lunch was exquisite with top service and so much pride in everything that they do. Everything went so smoothly with our pickup and drop off and communication ms were totally smooth. Highly recommend this as a special way to spend a day in PV, not to be missed.

The boat captain and his crew kept us entertained on the way to the show! The show was outstanding! The dinner, which included flank steak, shrimp, chicken, and many sides and desserts, was very good. It's a must see if you are visiting Puerto Vallarta!

The boat ride was choppy but once we got close to the island we were able to see a momma and baby whale that was amazing. Then the ambiance of the whole area was so nice and the food was delicious. The show was awesome too. Would definitely recommend.

We had such a great evening. The boat ride was fun and safe. The island is also very beautiful and the diner we had was delicious. Finally, the show was totally incredile! We had so much fun! I recommend 100%

It was a wonderful experience. However, there is a LOT of walking involved, some of it quite steep which causes a problem for the elderly like myself.
