    What To Expect

    Playa Mismaloya

    Mismaloya Beach is a beautiful bay south of Puerto Vallarta, surrounded by lush jungle and calm waves. It’s ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or relaxing. The beach gained fame as the filming site of The Night of the Iguana in the 1960s. While the water can be crystal clear during certain seasons, visibility may vary depending on weather and ocean conditions. It remains a great starting point for boat tours to Los Arcos Marine Park and other natural attractions. Mismaloya offers a mix of local restaurants, soft sand, and authentic charm, making it a favorite for both locals and visitors looking for a peaceful yet adventurous coastal experience.

    Los Arcos de Mismaloya

    Los Arcos Marine Park is one of Puerto Vallarta’s most iconic natural landmarks. This group of granite islands rises dramatically from the sea and features arches, caves, and tunnels carved by the ocean over thousands of years. Located just off the coast of Mismaloya, it’s a protected marine reserve home to a wide variety of tropical fish, sea turtles, and sometimes even manta rays and dolphins. The site is a favorite for snorkeling and diving thanks to its rich marine life and unique rock formations. Visibility can vary depending on the season, but the experience is always magical. Swimming through the arches or simply admiring the scenery from a boat makes this a must-see destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Pirate Snorkel Jump and Hidden Beach?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
