The details

Our team will welcome you before your scheduled departure from our little surf shop in Mismaloya, seven miles south of Puerto Vallarta. Once you arrive, we will introduce you to the ways of the water with a short introductory paddle lesson. We will then gear up for a brief paddle from Mismaloya Beach to the neighboring islands of Los Arcos National Marine Park. Either along the way or once in Los Arcos, the sun will set and the moon will rise. And, from there, you will spend some time exploring the caves and grottos of the area while receiving historical and biological information from your guide.

The most magical aspect, as we’ve been told by our clients, is when they have a chance to observe the natural phenomena of bioluminescent life in the water—it is a once in a lifetime experience most tell us fervently that they’ll never forget.

This tour lasts for about three hours and logs a total distance of about 2-3 nautical miles. The cost for this experience is 1200 MXN pesos per person.
