Full-Day Tour Exploring the Waters of Tolantongo

1.Full-Day Tour Exploring the Waters of Tolantongo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,277 reviews · 14 to 16 hours (approx.) · from $134Our pick

Review of Tolantongo hot springs from Mexico City, with pools, caves, river time, meals, transport, costs, tips, and who should book.

“Diego was very informative and detailed with the whole trip. He made the overall experience very welcoming and always made sure to answer any one’s questions or concerns. 10/10 would book again for the organized planning, lots of fun, no stress, and good vibes. The car ride gets a little brutal at times due to traffic and bumpy roads, but the overall trip was worth it, pictures really do not do justice for how beautiful this place is. Get proper water shoes and make sure they’re slip resistant. Makes the experience a lot more fun and safe.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 527 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $38

Hike jungle trails to six coastal beaches near Puerto Vallarta, swim at Colomitos, snorkel when seas allow, and return by boat for $38.

“I had a phenomenal time on this beach hiking tour — the views of the crystalline coastline were absolutely breathtaking. Diego was the best tour guide we could have asked for. His deep knowledge of the local wildlife, flora, and fauna gave us such meaningful insight into the ecosystem. He was also incredibly patient, flexible, and just an overall genuine, easy-to-talk-to person. I strongly recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your vacation, because it helps you learn where to explore on your own in the following days. I definitely discovered some hidden gems that I’ll be returning to later in my trip. Highly recommended!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 519 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $170

Swim with whale sharks from Riviera Maya, snorkel near Isla Mujeres, enjoy lunch and hotel pickup, with practical tips on seasickness and costs.

“Ecotours was top notch. Our guide, Larissa was excellent. We swam with the Whale Sharks two times, made a stop at Isla Muhares for ceviche and snorkeling and had a great time. Its a long day, and I highly recomnend you take something for seasickness, because you are sitting on the boat in the waves for a good bit of time, but it is well worth it to see and swim with the whale sharks.”

Hike Puerto Vallarta’s jungle coast to six secluded beaches, swim and snorkel, ride local transport, and finish with seafood at Playa Las Animas.

“The hike was beautiful and the beaches were amazing. The only problem was we came from the cruise ship and the hike exceeded the expected time so we had to leave the last spot early and go back on our own. It was okay though because Alex our guide made sure we got onto the water taxi and provided the bus fare for us. He was a very caring and enthusiastic guide.”

Review of Jack Sparrow PV’s full-day Banderas Bay tour, with waterfalls, snorkeling, beaches, cliff jumps, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“We had an amazing day of "adventure" with Jack Sparrow PV. Our guide was Paul (Pah-oohl) and our captain was Jonathan. Both were delightful. Paul talks very fluent English, so it was great to communicate to him. When we got to Mismaloya Beach, Paul met us and took care of us the entire day. We had our family of 8, (three generations, along with 4 grandkids). We were lucky and had the boat all to ourselves. Paul said "I am yours for the day". Tell me what you want to see, where you want to go, and what you want to do. Loved Los Arcos, the islands with arches, loved…”
