We had an awesome experience, we definitely recommend it! The guides, Felipe and Kevin were very experienced and the whole crew was very welcoming. The bioluminescence is one of the reasons it’s worth. The views Lo Arcos Marine Park with its rock formations is so beautiful from that close and paddling in the caves and swimming in the ocean at night was a great experience. A ride from Puerto Vallarta center to Mismaloya Beach was included in the price.
Absolutely amazing!!! One of our favorite tours. We went at night and the bioluminescent water and sunset were unbelievable. If you’re thinking about it just do it!!!

As you drive downhill into Mismaloya, there will be a large resort called Hotel Barceló to your right. Take the first right turn just beyond the big Hotel Barceló sign before the river. Follow this road, which runs alongside the river and the south edge of the resort. It will lead you down to the beach. If you're driving your own vehicle, this is where you will find street parking. If you're in a car hire or taxi, ask your driver to drop you off at Mismaloya Beach (Playa Mismaloya). Once you're on the beach facing the ocean, you will walk down the shoreline all the way to the left (south). Depending on the season, you may decide to cross the mouth of the river either by way of the footbridge (found about 50 meters before the shore break), walking along the shoreline, or wading through the mouth of the river. Walk to the far southern end of the beach, where are found between two massage parlors. You will see a flag above our shop with our logo.
