Jalisco Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

This was a great tour, I was alone in the tour since no one was on the bus! Javier and Jose Luis were GREAT!! They were nice and waited for me while I looked around at the stops and they even asked if I needed more time that they would wait for me, I recommend the tour as you see a beautiful view when you are on top of the bus and hill because you see everything!!!

Arturo was an excellent tour guide! He was professional, punctual, and very attentive to the entire group throughout our trip. He made sure everyone was comfortable and had everything they needed. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the tequila tour and did a great job explaining everything and making the experience enjoyable and informative. We truly appreciated his kindness, organization, and attention to detail. Arturo was a wonderful guide and definitely helped make our trip a memorable experience!

This gentleman was a gem. We met at the coffee bar listed in the description. He is very punctual. So arrive with time. Once en route he played great music and set the tone of the day almost immediately. He asked if we ever tried pajaretes and most of our group hadn't. We stopped by a great place while on the way to Tequila. Finished up and went to the tequila tasting. He provided knowledgeable information of the tequila making process. Then we got to trying. Great place. Hopefully we find something from this distillery in Los Angeles. Anywho, then we went to the town of Tequila to eat. Great food. Try the quesabirria. Then finished off at the cantarito place. Awesome music. You can get food there as well if you didnt get full in town. Once complete the drive home was effortless. Anywho, best decision we made while out here in GDL. THANKS AGAIN ARTURO. From Los Angeles with appreciation.

We booked this experience for a group of nine for my friends 30th birthday. It truly was unforgettable. We saw incredible views and close-ups of birds, fish, urchins, and even a friendly sea turtle. The guide was very knowledgeable, kind, and played good music.We also had an incident with a lost item, and the team went above and beyond with their customer service (would strongly recommend wetbags for the boat and keeping things tucked away with you there). Cannot recommend a better excursion to complete if you are visiting Puerto Vallarta and wanting to experience the best parts of their nature.

Arturo was amazing! From meeting at the pick-up to snorkeling and the adventure park, we had such a great day out on the water! Arturo took amazing photos of us while swimming w/ the beautiful sea life and while trying to complete the adventure course! It was nice to have memories to look back on and not have to worry about who would capture the moment!Come prepared! You'll need to bring your own towel to dry off, sunblock AND bug spray, and PLENTY of water to stay hydrated. Overall, this experience was well worth the long day. I will definitly be back on my next trip to PV.

At both side of the transportation, the drivers were fantastic. They were helpful and shared great information about Puerto Vallarta.

This was a really cool experience! The biologist was very knowledgeable and taught us about turtles. They were so cute! I recommend this tour!

This tour was a great experience. Our guide Uly and captian Kiki were phenomenal! Uly gave us instructions on how to safely cliff jump, and how to work our snorkels. He took pictures for us, and had water, drinks, and snacks packed for all of us on the boat.The Los Arcos area for snorkeling was better than expected since there were 100’s of fish in the area. We definitely could have spent more time than we had just floating area viewing the wild life. The beach afterwards was small but a good time to relax and rest after the swimming/snorkeling.

We had an awesome time. The waterfall is very refreshing. The hike there and back is the perfect amount of time. Diego was an awesome guide! He showed us plenty of interesting things and helped us traverse the terrain. Bring mosquito spray!

The turtle release was amazing. You learned a little bit about the turtles, them hatching, the different breeds of turtles. You can even name your turtle and watch it swim into the beach water. The hosts Eddie and Toni were great. But the humidity kicked our butts. So stay hydrated! Definitely recommend!

We had the BEST time on our Marietas Island Snorkel & Hidden Beach Tour! 🐠🌴 Ever was the best—he was so informative, friendly, and patient throughout the entire experience. We had such an amazing time and would 10/10 recommend this tour to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta!

The hike was great winding up the canyon, crossing the river several times kept it refreshing. Our guide Alex was amazing. We could not have asked for a better guide. He knew so much about the area, showed us various plants and trees, the gum tree was cool, the devil tree was..well named. Alex was relaxed but very professional and made sure we had a good time. Swimming at the waterfall is a must. It was beautiful and refreshing. It made for a really fun afternoon. Wear good shoes, don’t be afraid to get wet and enjoy the scenery.

This was genuinely one of the best experiences of my life and I am so glad I booked it. I arrived about 1.25 hours early to poke around Marina Vallarta and they let me use the restroom early. I poked around and saw many friendly iguanas near the pier, so friendly the business owners picked flowers so I could feed them. They gave us a detailed class on the turtle species and anatomy. We packed up and headed out, along the way our tour guide offered us snacks and drinks and pointed out the crocodiles along the golf course and stopped for us to photograph. He was very very kind, personable and knowledgeable. We walked along the beach where he was able to show us crocodile tracks, crab and turtle tracks. When we got to the camp, he showed us where the eggs hatch and brought out the baby’s. He gave us ample time to photograph and video them before handing them to us. I really appreciated him photographing me with my baby turtles as I traveled alone. The release was incredible. On our way back, we were able to see a turtle laying eggs which is very rare. He let us take photos with him shining the red light. Then we walked back and drove back to EcoTours where he called me a taxi and I left! I would absolutely recommend this to any and everyone.

This is my second time going and it was just as incredible as the first time. EcoTours makes it all so easy. They blend education and experience perfectly. It’s a truly magical experience. We even saw a Turtle on the beach actively laying eggs in our walk back to the van. Our guide made sure everyone stayed a respectable distance away and use red light so as not to disturb her but allowing people to get pictures. And they alerted the Turtle Camp so they could come protect the nest. They don’t just call the talk of ecotourism they live it. And the guide is top notch. I 100% recommend!

We had Christian as our host guide on the bus. It turned out my wife and I were the only ones on the bus for the 3+hours, so Christian acted as our private tour guide. We had adequate time at each stop and he gave descriptions and history of everything we were seeing. Great guy. We had the best time. We saw a lot and would rate the HOHO a 10 out of 10.

I booked this transport for one. The driver got me where I needed to go on time and safely. Would highly recommend
