The crew was fantastic, the captain was top notch, the scenery was awesome. The crew was right on top of everything and extremely friendly. The food and drink were very good snd the skit the crew did at the end was very entertaining. If I ever go back to Puerto Vallarta, I would love to do the cruise again! Well done!!

Money well-spent. Beautiful spot, gorgeous beach, incredible snorkeling, lots of activities to choose from, or perfect spot to do nothing! We also spotted whales on the trips to and from the beach!

I didn't expect much and experienced so much more. The service the performance with great food drinks and music. On the pricey side but worth it

Do this trip. The crew was outstanding and very attentive. The food was good and the drinks were never ending. I would do this trip again.
