Description

South Shore Sail, Snorkel & Beach – Los Arcos National Park

Set sail along the stunning south shore of Puerto Vallarta to discover Los Arcos National Park, one of the bay’s most iconic marine sanctuaries. Rising dramatically from the ocean, these rocky islets are famous for their arches, caves, and vibrant reefs nestled at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains.

This half-day adventure is perfect for those who love marine life, natural beauty, and relaxation on the ocean. Dive into the crystal-clear waters for a guided snorkeling experience at Los Arcos, where you’ll swim among colorful tropical fish, rays, eels, lobsters, and even octopus. Above the surface, spot seabirds soaring overhead, including pelicans and frigates, as they nest among the cliffs.

After snorkeling, enjoy time to soak up the sun on deck, sip a refreshing drink, or simply take in the breathtaking coastal views. With PV Fishing and Sailing’s expert crew guiding the way, you can relax knowing every detail of your experience is taken care of.
