The past 15 years I have always done Vallarta Adventures. Over the years that company has turned their excursions into booze cruises on the boat and then rushing the excursion part. I wanted to try a new business, and we came across this place because my dad had won a tour for 2 from a benefit he was at. So, my friend and I gave this place a try and we were so happy we did! From start to finish they were safe and very educational. I really liked that the group was smaller. It is so much more fun snorkeling with a smaller group verses a group of 20+ like Vallarta Adventures. My friend that came with me was really nervous to snorkel as this was her first time. The guide made sure to check in with her often and was very helpful at easing her fears. I super loved that after snorkeling Los Arcos they gave us a choice of spots to snorkel next. We chose Coloimitos beach. It was a small, beautiful beach with a ton of different butterflies and a small waterfall. The sandwich they provided was delicous too! Eric the captain, was a great driver and nice guy. Our tour guide and photographer both had great personalities as well. They were very informative and just easy going guys that you could tell loved their jobs. When we were done with the tour, we decided to buy the pictures. I thought for sure it would be a ton of $$ just because Vallarta Adventures is insane for pic prices. However, they were only $30. I was surprised. I will say...the photographer wasn't as involved as Vallarta adventures as far as telling you to pose, etc. I had to initiate that. That would be the only thing I would say but it wasn't really a negative. Plus, the pictures were cheap. I hate to cut on Vallarta Adventures so much but that is all I have to compare too. With that...I will be using Eco Explorer in the future. We come to Vallarta 3 to 4 times a year so I will be back! Thanks guys for a great time! You all rock!
