Snorkeling
The arches are located to the south of the bay of banderas. It consists of two large pieces of rock a few meters from the road that goes to Mismaloya. They are partially covered with small bushes. In these rocks inaccessible by land you will see many different types of birds such as cormorants of blue legs. Underwater there are thousands of different fish species. A great place to snorkel however it is necessary to know how to swim in order to do this activity (optional) you can also stay on the boat and feed the fish from the side of the boat.
All of the excursions attract the fish with pieces of bread. Snorkeling tip, if you snorkel bring a bag full of bread the fish love it, and you will be surrounded by many fish, If you have an aquatic camera it's the perfect opportunity for photos
Las Animas Beach
Playa Las Animas is a beach located south of Puerto Vallarta, 4 km from the Boca de Tomatlan, the easiest way to get there is by boat, It is a small bay with palm trees and impressive mountain views, It is truly a picturesque place
On the beach there are small restaurants made of thatched roofs with chairs and tables. The beach has a family atmosphere, the water is much clearer than Puerto Vallarta. Feel free to swim in this area, there are buoys to define the places that are prohibited, In this area you are in a bay so it is more protected from the sea currents. The waves are smaller and sand smoother

ReviewNatasha
"We took the snorkeling trip from Nuevo Vallarta, snorkling near los Arcos and then spending the rest of the day at Los Animas beach. What a fun day it was, we travelled in style a luxurious boat, we were pampered by the amazing crew. They were the best and were fun and respectful. We loved the early morning breakfast and the views we got of puerto Vallarta on the way the captain, even followed the dolphins for us! Snorkeling was made more exciting as Judith fed the fish so we got a visual treat! The beach had lots to offer, we kayaked and paddled boarded and played on the beach while others took a zip lining obstacle course (the choice was ours), we were fed fantastic food and delicious drinks all part of the deal! A full fun day take sun screen and no need for towels they have them!"
Diane
"We went snorkeling tour with several friends. The staff was very attentive and the food and beverages were delicious and plentiful. The captain made sure we had good views of dolphins and manta rays. My husband brought his fishing rod and they even followed the birds to give him an opportunity to cast his line into the feeding Yellowtail. Snorkeling was done in a picturesque location with caves and plenty of fish to see. We then went to Beach Club on las Animas where we were served snacks and wonderful Mexican dishes cooked over a wood stove. We felt pampered and well taken care of. The boat is large and very beautiful. The ride was smooth much to the relief of some apprehensive sailors. The cost is very reasonable - actually the best bargain of our trip. We cannot recommend this highly enough. You will love it!"
Jan
"We went on a catamaran trip. The catamaran was really nice and the trip was to the Los Arcos and Animas beach. The boat can hold up to 80 people but there were only 10 people on our trip with 6 crew members. Needless to say we were totally pampered the entire trip! They offer a nice continental breakfast when you board with fresh fruit, cereal, pastries and coffee. They took us on a tour of the coast off of Puerto Vallarta and pointed landmarks and marine life along the way. The stop at Los Arcos was for snorkeling but to be honest the water was murky and there wasn't much to see except for the fish they were feeding. They did dive down and get puffer fish for us to feel. There are too many people in a small area to do any real snorkeling. The highlight of the trip was Animas beach. It is only accessible by boat. It is a beautiful beach with clear water. They had there own little restaurant there and of course offered free drinks and food. They taught us how to make tortillas....so good hot off the grill. We were treated to a very good meal. The service was outstanding. Activities included kayaking, paddle boarding ,and volleyball. There were opportunities for para sailing and jet skiing as well as beach massages. There are the usual vendors that come buy and try to sell you things as well as the guys with iguanas for picture opportunities. The trip back to the port was entertaining. Again, the service was excellent...free drinks and snacks. The crew really makes the difference on this trip. They were very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend it. It is a new boat...very clean and pretty. This was definitely a highlight of our trip!"
Robert
"About noon, a group of friends and I sailed to "Las Animas". We passed through the Bay of Banderas and we could see the coast and the city's hotel zone, having beautiful seascapes and enjoying the nice weather of Puerto Vallarta. During our tour we saw flying fish. We made a stop at "Los Arcos" for swimming and snorkeling, there we saw many marine species. We arrived at "Las Animas" and enjoyed a delicious meal. Upon returning to port, we enjoy a very good sunset and a delicious sparkling wine. The attention of the crew was always very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for a pleasant day with friends or family."
Maury
"This is one experience anyone should do. Family friendly for both kids and adults. On board food and drinks. Music. Snorkelling, a tour of Vallarta and a trek to Las Animas beach where lunch is served and more drinks. The end show is brilliant. Very good sense of humour on the staff and they sure know how to make customers laugh, smile and have a great time"
Lili
"What a nice day we had on this snorkeling tour. We had food and drinks all day long on the catamaran, the ceviche was delicious. The animation was very fun and friendly. The view of the coast and the cuty of PV are beautiful. We did snorkeling in nice clear blue water and then headed up to Las Animas beach for a couple hours of sunbathing, drinks and again delicious food. The crew was very helpfull and nice, the catamaran is spacious and clean, Thanks for that wonderfull day in Puerto Vallarta"
Stef
"We so enjoyed our day with the snorkeling tour in PV. The staff was very friendly and very attentive. We were constantly asked if we needed anything. The restaurant at Las Animas was very good. Our food was delicious. The crew was a lot of fun and kept us entertained and laughing."
Erick
"We took a Canuwa catamaran tour from the Nuevo Vallarta Marina across the bay past the Puerto Vallarta Malacon. We stopped to snorkel before proceeding to their beach club at Las Animas. There we relaxed on the beach and had a wonderful lunch."
Tim
"We had a great time. The crew was really nice. There was only 10 people on the ship, and it was like having your own private yacht. The rest of our group were from Kansas and we all had a blast. We did whale watching on the way to our snorkel and we saw some awesome whales. We even had whales on both sides of our ship. We had a great lunch and water fun at Los Animas beach. On our way back to the Marina, the captain diverted us to Los Arcos. Everyone was in awe. We then went out and spotted more whales... we had one WHALE of a time."
Isabella
"Great service!! My family and I loved the food , beautiful boats and really good price , we went to Playa Las Animas and their restaurant Mikes Beach Club was delicious, Next time I come I’m totally going again"
