Do not use Landing Tours to book is Puerto Villarta!

The communication with this company was horrible. We inquired about changing the date of our dive via email and they cancelled the whole reservation without notifying us. They never responded to the inquiry, just cancelled it.
When we showed up to Vallarta Adventures, they didn't have a record of our original reservation and then notified us the third-party company had cancelled our dive after they phoned Landing Tours. They did refund our money, but when we tried to fix the situation, they were no help at all, and the language barrier was very frustrating.
Vallarta Adventures however helped us find another excursion where we had a wonderful time. They made us aware the third-party companies were unpredictable and unreliable.

Awesome diving experience and great hosts!

I had a really fun time diving in Puerto Vallarta with this crew and guests! The instructors were patient, kind, and made me feel at ease with the refresher course after not diving for 3+ years. I would book again and highly recommend this tour, especially if you have family that does not dive because they can still have fun on the boat/beach/snorkel adventure!
What a surprise!

To be honest, I booked this after that second glass of wine and had regrets. This part of the ocean is not known for good diving , for the most part, and I was afraid I would be freezing cold. The communication was not very welcoming nor friendly but decided that was due to the language barrier. I wanted to cancel but could not without a full charge so I just went for it. And thought I would make the best of it.
Wow—I was completely wrong. This was one of the best days out!!
We were boarded with the same “party boat” that included snorkeling participants. The vibe was energetic and amazing from
The point of departure! We saw a ton of humpback whales (which is seasonal) !! They dropped the 5 of us divers off then the boat went on for the snorkeling.
Israel was our dive master and he was incredible. This was my 51st dive out of the Caribbean, Indonesia, Thailand, etc, and I have to say he was the BEST! He was
Professional, patient, and I felt so safe. The dive itself was not all that, as I expected, due to water visibility. But the 5mm wetsuit they provided was perfect for the temperature.
On the way back, we had cocktails and a beautiful lunch (compared to most of these boats I’ve been on ). The crew was outstanding from everyone that I saw. A surprise at the end of the cruise which I won’t spoil for you. I would 100% recommend Vallarta Adventures for an excursion of a lifetime.

Great Day to Marietas Islands

Great service from everyone! Started early in the morning with car pickup, as Vicente was very nice. Service continued with our Dive Master Joao. All the boat attendants were helping all passengers. They put on a good show as we return to port. Vicente even waited an extra hour to take us back to the Hotel since the rough seas slowed down the boat all day.
Fun but wouldn’t do again.

I tried to cancel this trip
But had a hard time communicating with the operator and of course, no
Way to contact Viator. That was very frustrating. The boat was a lot of fun but this area isn’t known for
Great diving. The good thing was the dive master who was amazing as well as the staff on the boat. Only 4 of us went diving , the rest was a snorkel
And party cruise but it was a lot of fun. I would wait to book with a company that has a better cancellation policy!!
