Don´t leave Puerto Vallarta without a day at sea. You will enjoy a beautiful view of the city of Puerto Vallarta as we make our way to Los Arcos - natural stone arches ideal for snorkeling. Then we go directly to Las Animas, one of the most charming private beaches in the area for swimming and relaxing. And finally, its off to Quimixto´s beautiful waterfall and tropical vegetation.

You are welcomed aboard by the friendly crew and served a continental breakfast, which includes fruit, sweet bread, juice, tea, and coffee. On the way to Las Animas you will stop at Los Arcos for snorkeling. At Los Arcos you will have up to 45 minutes for snorkeling, which is usually plenty of time.

After you are back on board, the fun begins! The bar is open. The Bora-Bora is one of the only boats to offer "open bar" while on board (most cruises serve two beverages per person). The day I went there were about 15 people on the cruise, and it was a leisurely day. The maximum capacity of the boat is 30 people. There is a large shaded area for who don't want to spend all of their time in the sun, but never the less, do not forget your sunscreen.

On the leisurely cruise back enjoy a grilled lunch, hamburgers or chicken, prepared by the crew. White or red wine is available with your lunch. Again the bar is open, offering sodas, beer, mixed drinks, and the special Bora-Bora cocktail. For those looking to imbibe, enjoy their "Happy Hour" with 2x1 tequila poppers (remember, open bar on the boat is included).
