Water tour of 4 different points
the arches of Mismaloya, Colomitos, Madagascar and Las Animas beach
Facing the bay, where Puerto Vallarta’s southern coast meets the Pacific, the sea has been at work for centuries with an artist’s patience. The result is Los Arcos: a cluster of rocky islands that rise from the water like stone cathedrals, with gateways opening onto the blue, hidden caves, and tunnels through which light filters.
The boat approaches slowly, and everything changes. The rocks come alive with birds nesting high above, the wind smells of salt, and the water becomes so clear it seems to invite you in. And you go in. With your snorkel on, you dive into a wall-less aquarium, where colorful fish surround you without fear, the reefs glisten in the sun, and the silence of the depths reveals what no postcard can show.
This is a protected natural area, a sanctuary for birds and marine life, and that’s why every wave, every fish, and every rock retains the magic of the untouched. Here, you’re not a tourist—you’re a guest in the sea’s home.
From Mismaloya, the little town where The Night of the Iguana was once filmed and where the world fell in love with Vallarta, you’ll set off on a day of adventure, nature, and endless blue. You’ll return with salt on your skin, your eyes full of colors, and a longing to come back.
They say good things come in small packages, and Colomitos proves it.
Tucked away between cliffs and jungle, this beach barely has room for sand, but it has more than enough ocean. Its emerald waters are so clear you can see the fish dancing beneath the surface, and the jungle stretches all the way to the shore as if it, too, wanted to dip its toes in the water.
There are no hotels here, no music, and no rush. Just you, the warm water, and a spot so small it seems tailor-made for you. It’s the smallest beach in the country, and perhaps that’s why it’s the one that stays with you the longest.
Madagascar: The Beach That Speaks in Silence 🌴
There are places that need no story, because the silence says it all.
Madagascar awaits at the end of a path through jungle and sea—pristine and serene, with mountains behind and turquoise waters ahead. It offers nothing but nature, and it needs nothing more. The seabed slopes gently downward, the sand is soft, and the waves roll in silently, as if asking for permission.
Here, time slows down. You’ll hear the wind rustling through the trees, the gentle lapping of the water, and your own breath, which becomes slow, light, and free. It’s the beach for those who know that sometimes the most beautiful thing is to do nothing at all.
Come discover the paradise that needs neither a name nor an advertisement.
South Coast: three beaches, a secret 🌊
There are beaches that can be reached by car and beaches that must be deserved. These three belong to the second.
South of Puerto Vallarta, where the road surrenders and the jungle descends until it touches the sea, another world begins. Here there are no hotels or noise, only mountains, turquoise water and the sway of the boat that takes you from cove to cove, like someone opening hidden boxes.
Colomitos, the smallest in Mexico, is a handful of sand squeezed between cliffs, with emerald water and jungle looming above. It's so small that it seems like a secret, and it's so pretty that it makes you want to keep it.
Madagascar is the virgin beach, without haste and without a name to explain its mystery. Only sand, mountains and a transparent sea that invites you to stay still and listen to nature.
Las Ánimas welcomes you with its palapas, the smell of freshly made seafood and warm, brown sand. The locals say that its name comes from the souls and an old cemetery. Nobody has been able to try it, but the legend remains floating among the waves, and perhaps that is why the place has something magical.
You will swim in calm waters, watch colorful fish, eat in front of the sea and watch the afternoon turn golden over the bay. You will return with salty skin, a light heart and the certainty of having seen the most beautiful corner of Jalisco.
