Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We loved the whale watching boat tour! It was half-day and we saw whales, dolphins, and a rare sighting of a manta ray!! The boat was big enough to feel safe. Great service and plenty of snacks aboard boat #3!

    We swam with wild dolphins with Pilar and Caesar. They were beyond awesome. Pilar started by telling us all about dolphins. For someone who loves dolphins, I learned a few new things with was pretty cool. They were very patient with us and allowed us to jump in many times so watch the dolphins swim around. They didn’t leave until everyone was satisfied with their time in the water. I highly recommend.

    Went with a very knowledgeable lovely young lady to the military macaw reserve. We saw many of these beautiful endangered birds feeding their chicks in nesting boxes. It is good to know that EcoTours is an environmental entity working on many projects with both land and ocean biologists.

    Whenever I am in Puerta Vallarta I make sure to do a fishing 🎣 trip with Charly. He gets the best boats, capitan’s and crew to make our trip a blast. All we need to do is show up at the dock and the fun begins.

    Charly is always available to help you plan your trip and talks with you along the way. You never feel lost or not aware of the trip.

    When you are looking for a fun, worry-free fishing trip call Charly !!!

    I spent almost 2 weeks with Lucia and Nikol in Mexiko on expedition they planned. Truth is I was never on better vacation and surely I never experienced so many incredible and educational moments. I'm thinking about these beautiful moments every day since we left Mexiko. Everything was very good organized, girls were always willing, kind with smile on their faces from ear to ear. Everytime I saw their smile I started to smile immediatly too. We were scuba diving, snorcheling with various animals and we experienced few really exceptional moments. During those two weeks I wasn't bored even for a second. There was always something interesting and exiting to discover or something new to learn. Nothing was a problem, girls always solved, arranged and helped with everything. In the end I can really only say that it was perfect, I'm not exaggerating and I will remember it all my life with a warm feeling in my heart and smile on my face. I can definitely say that this was not my last expedition with Blue religion and I am very much looking forward to the next one.

    This is a Tour Guide Service we highly recommend. My wife and I travel frequently and it’s very rare we can honestly say we are impressed with a service.
    Our guide was Juan Senior he was a very knowledgeable and friendly individual, he had very good communication skills and had a lot of knowledge of his surroundings along with the history of the areas. We started out in Puerto Vallarta Romantico area and we traveled all the way up to Sayulita; What an adventure we highly recommend using this service Whether it’s a private tour or a group tour. We will be Sharing this contact with all of our friends. In short thank you Juan It was an honor and a privilege to have met you and look forward to doing business with you in the future

    We had a day tour to visit various towns outside of Puerto Vallarta and it was excellent! Juan was so friendly and accommodating and incredibly informative of the history and culture of the area. We enjoyed it very much and highly recommend him!

    I travelled with aguila viajes at the end of 2019 , and I cannot recommend them more . A tailored , well paced experience with lovely people with real knowledge of the areas . Off the beaten track , I got to experience the nicest beaches , the tastiest local food , a trek through a jungle to see hidden beaches, beautiful colonial “magic “ towns and I got to fulfill a lifelong dream of mine - whale watching ! If you want a taste of real Mexico - this is the way to go ,
    Highly recommended!

    We opted for the all day tour to Nuevo Ixtlan aguas termales (hot springs) about 1.5 hours away from Puerto Vallarta. Vince picked us up and even stopped for us to grab some coffee. We arrived right as the springs opened and got first pick on a beautiful rustic pool. Included in our tour was the entrance fee and a beautiful and tasty barbecue spread of marinated steak, carne asada, chicken, chorizo, grilled onions, guacamole, tortillas, and beverages. He's a phenomenal cook! After a relaxing soak, clay masks (separate cost), massages (separate cost), plus many friendly conversations with other spring patrons and Vince, we headed back. Vince was super professional, friendly, accommodating, and fun to chat with. We can't wait to do another Landing Tour again!! Thanks Vince!
