😠 Awful, awful experience. The boat is old, run down, smells like fumes, the single toilet is barely functional and stinks. The music is 10 decibels too loud. The drinks are pre-made, watered down, even the beer is watered down -- disgusting. The tour guide talked NON-STOP for the first 45 minutes... People often mention boat, tour, beach, ride, drinks, watered, water,

    Awful, awful experience. The boat is old, run down, smells like fumes, the single toilet is barely functional and stinks. The music is 10 decibels too loud. The drinks are pre-made, watered down, even the beer is watered down -- disgusting. The tour guide talked NON-STOP for the first 45 minutes of the trip, totally unnecessarily, not funny, and also way too loud. We finally asked him to please just stop talking and he was a complete jerk about it said he was required to tells us everything in both Spanish and English (even though his English was barely intelligible). We felt like jumping off the ship the entire way. The snorkeling was fine but very short, then we went to an island that's basically made for tourists. The lunch was decent. Instead of returning us to where they picked us up, though, they brought us all the way back to the marina where they dock the boat (they don't mention this when pitching it to you on the beach, only when you've left shore and it's too late). We had to wait an additional 45 minutes for a cruise ship to leave before we could even make it to the marina; the guide took the opportunity to harangue us (for 30 minutes) about leaving tips. You're literally dumped in the middle of a boat yard and made to fend for yourself. Good luck getting an Uber, though you can eventually flag down a taxi near the OXXO if you're lucky. And then get ready for a very long ride back to Zona Romantica. Honestly the worst excursion experience I ever had. It's a low, low, low budget option, even for Mexico. Avoid like the plague.

    On a snorkel tour, they did not provide snorkels or fins claiming it was due to covid. They did provide a face mask or goggles tho. Their live jackets took on water and dangerous. The final snorkeling destination was a dangerous spot in between rocks near shore that non of the guests could stay in place with the waves and no fins. THERE WERE NO FISH OR ANY MARINE LIVES to see. They also claimed that they don't have drinking water on board. Then they took us to a remote restaurant for a poor quality cheep lunch. It is not worth the money. Their boat was so slow yet they add the three hour ride to the tour. DO NOT USE Them.

    This group boat ride to the private beach was a DISASTER. They don't drop you off where they pick you up from. The driver of the boat stayed on his phone, the boat was rocking do bad everyone up top got sick and threw up. The drinks were watered down immensely and you couldn't even taste the liquor. The staff & crew were nice and friendly but at the end they were begging for extra money. Not worth the price .. don't do it!! And THEY NEED TO CLEAN THE RESTROOMS

    I'd give them a 0 of I could, they sold us a horse ride to a water fall and we never got it. They tricked us into doing a smaller one saying the big water fall was never available to begin with even though they were advertising it on the boat, and to top it off it was on horses that were not trained and fighting each other the whole time. The food was terrible and the drinks were watered down. They claim it's all inclusive but once you get the the beach there's a man claiming the beach is his and tried charging us the sit in the sand even though there's no such thing as private beaches in Mexico. The captain on the tour was helping him scam people by telling us that the area belonged to him and that we needed to pay to be on the beach they dropped us off at. Not worth paying to be on this cheap scam of a tour .

    BOAT TRIP FROM HELL! Where to begin? This is an old wreck of a barge with disgusting bathrooms – the men's room toilet had no seat – watered down drinks, a sound system that deafens your ears away and a tour guide who NEVER STOPS TALKING. I mean NEVER. Switching from Spanish to English and back again, he talks non-stop. He obviously wants to be a stand-up comedian; he's not. "Snorkeling" consists of getting dumped in a rocky cove alongside the boat for about 20 minutes. (There were scarcely any fish to see.) The ultimate destination is an island called "Las Animas," which was clearly created solely as a tourist trap. There's nothing to do there but lie on the narrow beach, eat at the mediocre restaurant – our meal was included in the price of the trip – and, if you want to wait in line, go out in to the water on the ONE kayak and TWO paddle boards they had available for us. Worst of all, instead of dropping us off in the Zona Romantica, where we had been picked up (and were staying), they dropped us at a marina over 10 miles away "because of the big waves today," which was complete B.S., as the sea was as smooth as glass. So at the end of this hideous day, we had to pay for a taxi back to where we started. AVOID THIS BOAT TRIP AT ALL COSTS.

    Much better than I expected. I had really low expectations due to all the bad reviews. We paid about 750 pesos per person through a tour agency on the beach. They picked us up on a tiny boat from the bridge at Romantic Zone and transferred us to the big boat waiting out in the sea. We did snorkeling with just the fast mask, no fins or breathing tube. The fishes were very beautiful. Lunch was mediocre. We did an extra activity of horse riding once we got off on the beach. It was 300 pesos for a short ride. Not worth it. After lunch, the crew pulled out one kayak and one standup paddle board. We switched turns with other guests and only got 10 min to go do a bit of those out in the sea. They did not provide life vests for these activities so my friend who wasn’t a good swimmer couldn’t do it. One complaint is they did not drop us off at Romantic Zone but at the main pier instead. So we struggled a little bit to take a taxi back cost about 200 pesos. So make sure you have enough cash with you to take the taxi back.

    If i could rate this 0 stars i would. Absolute worst thing we have done in puerto vallarta. Save your money and find something else to do. We lucked out with my grandparents being in town, so we didn't have the take the "cruise" back to town, we drove. When they say all inclusive, its a complete lie. You get watered down drinks, a horrible boat ride, snorkel goggles (you have to pay for the mouthpiece), and 6 hours being stuck.

    I will write my review when I get home. Won't waste another minute of my vacation talking about this garbage tour except to say do not waste your time and money on Predator of the Sea tours. Total rip off. ..... more later.

    The boat was in terrible shape, the ladder was attached by a rope on one side. The food was lousy, and they pushed drinks on you. Do not recommend.

    Terrible experience. Boat ride was terribly slow and shaky. Made all our family member dizzy. They take you for the beach with no road access and serve a food which is kids size portion. Overall worst experience waste of a day and made us sick since they serve cheap alcohol and food but not designed for visitors.

    I was worried about the company because of the bad reviews, but it turned out to be a really fun trip! Super popular to the Mexican local people. Two people spoke good English and explained everything to us very clearly. We were the only two Gringos! Too bad the Sea was rough. We got seasickness 😭 otherwise tons of free drink on board. It is a budget tour, bring water and your own snorkeling gears.
