5.00Great excursion! Loved Uli ❤️ such a fun guide. He took pictures and videos for us and sent the files for free. We took our 9 & 10 year old and it was the perfect length of time for an afternoon away from the resort. *the the Dramamine they offer you if it’s a choppy day! 😉

5.00Pablo and Arnold were AMAZING!! Awesome tour! We got picked up near our hotel, the driver was very mindful of everyone in the car, the drive to the marina was beautiful. Loved boat ride out to the arches. We got to snorkel and see beautiful fish. The arches were so beautiful to see up close. They took us to a small beach to relax for a few then on our way back we got to see sting rays in the water. Highly recommend this tour!
Awesome boat trip

5.00We went on a great boat trip to do some cliff jumping that was optional and then a snorkelling trip around the Missa Molloya islands. We saw great wildlife, including pelican hatchlings and all sorts of different types of bird wildlife. The snorkelling was well led and it was super relaxing just to have time on a beach with friends and people from the boat. The guide Yuli was really knowledgeable and had great energy throughout the trip. We were well looked after with showers, storage, and snacks. All in all a fantastic trip!
Best experience this trip! So surreal

5.00We had such am amazing time! We made friends we saw beautiful fish! It exceeded our expectations to the max. Panchitos was our boat captain and he took us safely around the Islands and Ulises our tour guide was more like having your highschool best friend take you to a hidden gem in the city. It was a great adventure and one for the memories. If you’re thinking of coming on the tour don’t think just book, you’ll never regret it! Oh and the cliff jump isn’t as scary as it might seem at first, its a great feeling to have once you overcome it! Thanks to Mismaloya Xtreme!
Must do

5.00The experience was exactly as advertised, with just the right amount of time for each activity. Uli and the rest of the staff were super friendly and seemed to enjoy their work. We combined it with a morning at the zoo (which I don't recommend) and lunch at one of the many beachfront restaurants of Mismaloya. Great day!
We had a wonderful time!

5.00We had a wonderful time with Ulises. The price was wonderful the amount of time and things we did. We quickly got to Los Arcos and snorkeled but in my opinion not for long enough. Then we went to a private beach which was lovely but I wanted more time there. Ulises had a great speaker and played wonderful music. There was 13 of us total but didn’t feel crowded at all. We loved our experience.
3 hour private Los Arcos Snorkeling and cliff jumping tour

5.00We booked a 3 hr private boat tour to go snorkeling and cliff jumping at Los Arcos. Our guide Gabe was absolutely amazing. He was so knowledgeable and talked to us about the different species of animals around. We saw different varieties of fish and sea urchin and starfish. We then went to Playa Colomitos and then to Playa Los Animas. Had a great lunch and on the way back we were fortunate to see whales and manta rays. We are so appreciative of our guide, boat captain, and will definitely book again. Ask for Gabe. He is the best.
