What To Expect
Embark on the Sea Safari tour and explore the charming coastal villages south of Puerto Vallarta. Board a speedboat and cruise through the bay’s crystal-clear waters to visit Quimixto, Yelapa, and Pizota—each offering a glimpse into Mexico’s rich traditions. Stroll through Quimixto’s cobblestone streets, witness local artisans making tortillas and salsas, and ride a mule along Yelapa’s scenic river trails. Take a dip in the Yelapa waterfall during the rainy season before heading to the secluded village of Pizota. Here, relax on a pristine beach, enjoy a beachfront BBQ buffet with an open bar, and partake in snorkeling, kayaking, or simply unwinding in nature’s serenity.

Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All City Boat Tours snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.

Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on City Boat Tours tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use.
