Amazing experience, well worth it. We started at the Vallarta adventures in Nayarit, near our hotel. They picked up more people at Puerto Magico and then went straight to Las Caletas. The service was top notch, on the boat and in the Caletas. All activities were filled with fun. The scuba instructor was Ali and he was amazing. Super friendly and patient. He explained everything very clearly and he was very passionate about sharing his love for the scuba sport with us. The food on the island was very good quality. Even the drinks were not made with cheap alcohol. We did the cooking class with Maui and friends. We made Mexican ceviche, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, Taco de Fajita, Margaritas, ensalada de camarones. It was all sooo good , and we had tons of fun with the explanations and jokes. They also have zipline, a looong waterslide, banana boat, kayaks, dunk tank, snorkeling, scuba, clay sculpting, and SPA with massage. They even had Mezcal tasting. My only complaint is not enough time to do everything.

My wife and I had a great time. Boat 4 crew were very entertaining and made the 45 minute boat rides quite enjoyable. The meal was great and the entertainment was amazing.

This experience is top value for your dollar. They have the whole process dialed in for efficient service. Dining is delicious and quick with multiple buffet stations. Tbe entertainment is top notch on par with a cirque du soleil level. You want to see more? You'll have to go yourself. Do it!

Siento que el tiempo de estadía en Caletas fue corto, no nos dio tiempo de realizar todas las actividades todo pero la pasamos Genial. El taco de bienvenida no fue espectacular, en lo personal recomendaría saltarlo y ese tiempo aprovecharlo para hacer actividades. Tomamos la cata de Mezcal con Abril , la pasamos increíble. Mi primera vez probando grillo😯 No pudimos subirnos a la banana por qué no había.. Cerca de las plataformas hay muchos peces hermosos y algunos peces globo ! Nosotros realizamos la reservación por internet y adquirimos igual el paquete de fotografías. Nos convino mucho mas. Mientras esperábamos en las hamacas a que las personas se acercaran a abordar después de la comida , recogí de las arena alrededor de 15 colillas de cigarro y quedaban más, deberían tener zona de fumadores o en su caso poner énfasis en que usen ceniceros , por qué al subir la marea jalará las colillas. El servicio del personal fue muy bueno! Esenciales a tomar en cuenta: Abordaje aprox 8:30 am Arribo caletas aprox 9:30 am Comida 1:30 pm Abordaje regreso 2:30 pm Arribo PVR 3:30 aprox Si te mareas fácil llevar pastilla Tener cuidado con las aguas malas y medusas Entre esperar a subir al catamaran así como al regreso cuando terminas la comida y esperar abordar nuevamente se restan aprox 3 horas de la estadía real en Caletas. Actualmente tienen dos plataformas flotantes, en 2018 que fui habían 3. Y las personas se expanden lo que complica poder utilizarlos. Por último, considero deberían como en algunos otros parques promover el uso de bloqueadores biodegradables, de lo contrario no permitir utilizarlos.
