★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 242 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $159

Ride a jet ski from Marina Vallarta along Puerto Vallarta’s coast with guide Ever, stopping to snorkel near Los Arcos National Park. Expect a small group, ocean views, possible sightings of dolphins, turtles, rays, or whales, and a fast, bumpy ride back.

“This jet ski experience is so much fun! I liked that it was a small group (my husband and I and another couple) so it didn’t feel rushed or overwhelming. Ever was an incredible guide and we very much recommend to anyone wanting to check out Los Arcos in an adventurous way.”
