We had the best time on our private snorkeling tour! While we wished we'd seen more fish, we really enjoyed the sightseeing along the coastline. Fernando and his son were exceptional hosts, and made the day great for our entire family! Even better, we saved a boatload of money (no pun intended) by going with La Vida Bella Boat Tours vs one from Vallarta Adventures! It literally cost us about half, and I can't imagine we'd have had any better experience with theirs. But no doubt, the best part of all was Fernando Jr.'s guacamole! Holy schmoley! It was the best chips and guac of our lives. We highly recommend them!

I had a medical emergency on the island yesterday. The emergency team went way over and above anything I have ever experienced. Issac and Jose and their team took amazing care of me for hours. Issac was with me on the island. He was so patient and caring with me. Jose and a team then literally carried me off the island onto the boat back in a wheelchair. Jose stayed on the boat and watched me the entire time, and assisted me whenever he saw fit. He didn’t miss a beat. He watched me like a hawk. He was respectful and extremely professional. Jose then literally wheeled me back to my hotel from the boat, and all the way to my bed!!! It was unbelievable and I will never forget their kindness. Their professionalism is something to be spoken of. I am so deeply grateful for their help and kindness. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Oh, and before the emergency we had a great time. The food, drinks, service, amenities and overall atmosphere was amazing and something everyone should experience while here. My emergency was not anything of their doing. The boat ride there and back was so fun and the entertainment was definitely top notch. Highly recommend this trip and say hi to Issac and Jose for me!!

This trip is highly recommended. My wife and I were staying in Sayulita and met with the tour operators and driver right off the town square across from Coco Banana. The van ride to the marina was about 20 minutes. The boat/catamaran was awesome! Came with a lower and upper deck, two water slides from the top deck, a couple hammocks and comfy seating all around. The service and crew were top notch. Everyone was polite, funny and welcoming. They started off serving us fruit, pastries and whatever you wanted to drink for breakfast (alcohol or nonalcoholic) and provided nonstop fun and service the whole way to the islands. Once you get to the islands, you are transported in a smaller boat to an area where it is safe to swim to the islands themselves where you you can get some amazing pictures and see sights not many will ever experience. The ride back is just as fun, if not more so. You continue with as many drinks as you'd like. We had fajitas for lunch, which were delicious, and we did a bit of fishing off the back on the way home. Overall 6 outta 5 rating. Love these folks and will definitely be back for more tours
