    The best hour to visit this amazing place is early in the morning, avoiding the tour rush hour. It has an amazing view of the nature, great place to visit!!!

    Just visited 4/9/21. Me and my wife took a private yacht tour. The best way to view these beautiful life pieces of art is boat. It's unbelievable how clear and blue the waters are. There is also a area for swimming and snorkeling. Just a majestic place to be.

    Enjoy early in the morning before the charter boats get out there. I went paddle boarding, it was clear and calm. You can snorkle with beautiful fish. A must do if you are in PV

    We paid our boat taxi a little extra to take us around this magical place. Our itinerary was to short to scuba dive near these wonders. But if you have the time, DO IT! Or if your time runs short like ours did, pay the few extra on the boat taxi for this amazing experience.

    Los Arcos is a beautiful rock formation that you can snorkel around or swim through it. Its great to see by boat or can also capture from the side if the road.

    This is a one-of-a-kind tour and experience and must-do if you are vacationing in Puerto Vallarta. Many Airbnb tours host trips out to Los Arcos and most tours offer guided snorkeling - when the day is clear and there have not been recent storms, guided snorkeling will let you see a variety of fish. If not, the boat tour and swim around Los Arcos will still let you see the variety of wildlife along the base of Los Arcos and the greenery up above!

    It was nice but the current was so strong we didn't get a chance to swim.

    Breathtaking! A must see. However, the water is a bit cloudy for snorkeling.

    We took a snorkeling tour to the park. It was beautiful. We spent an hour snorkeling through the ark and around the rocks. We saw a large eagle ray as well as a large school of angelfish, and lots of others. We arrived to the arc at about 11:00. I would not recommend arriving any later. As we were getting into our small private boat from the shore of the town, a large party barge of about 250 snorkelers arrived. The area would be way too small to accommodate all of those people. Arrive early before the mad rush. It is worth getting up early to see the beautiful fish. For the most enjoyable experience, take a small water taxi from shore.

    We went paddling and snorkeling with aloha water sports. Check them out on Facebook. Roberto looked after us real well and supplied quality sup. We saw whale ray and fish. Excellent trip

    Taking a tour in a lancha, the local people take you there in a short trip and explain about the rocks. There are also birds, colorful fish and coral living there. You can snorkel but won't see them unless they feed them. People can snorkel around the rocks and it's not allowed to touch them to avoid deterioration.

    Nice enough place but do not bother to snorkel here. The water is quite dark and murky. Only reason one could get to see fish are that the boatmen throw pieces of bread into the water to attract them. The rocks have sea urchins on them apparently, better not get too close. Also the current is strong so only for strong swimmers, if at all.

    The scenery is really beautiful and there are a lot of fish. But the water wasn't very clear, so it wasn't the best snorkeling experience.

    Water was a little murky, so wasn't the best snorkeling on the bay. It depends on the tide. Regardless, stunning view and intriguing birds. If you're looking for a cruise out there and up the coast, checkout Payo Cruises out of Mismaloya.

    Pretty nice place, in the rain season, water is not that clear and it's hard to see in snorkling

  • 5/5 Mitch J. 1 year ago on Google
    Don't forget to bring snorkels. Rent a boat at Mismaloya. No reservations required.

    Rented a catamaran from the Marina and cruised to the Los Arcos. Beautiful scenery.

  • 5/5 Fernando A. 6 months ago on Google
    We got a good price for the whole family from the beaches of mismaloya. Trip lasted about an hour and a half, and we got to swim for about 30 minutes around los arcos. Definitely a great experience for tourists.

    Wonderful place to scuba. Popular with snorkeling and boating. Marine life includes Manta Ray's, els, beautiful box fish and thousands of brightly colored Angel fish.

    Really cool place to snorkel 🤿 and admire the sheer structure. We took a tour from Playa Mismaloya by a friendly guide for $1,500 pesos. Worth it!
