Las Caletas

Hello,

Has anyone here taken the Las Caletas by Day trip? I was wondering how the beaches were....especially the snorkelling...is the water clear? Also does it get very crowded?

Thanks in advance )

We did Las Caletas in October, and I think it is one of the best excursions in PV, Vallarta Adventures really knows what they are doing.

Water clarity in the bay varies by weather and currents, do not expect it to be like the Caribbean, but we go snorkeling every trip to PV and enjoy it.

How crowded it gets depends on the time of year, and how many cruise ships are in port. We made sure to book on a day with no cruise ships, and it was not crowded at all. BTW, Vallarta Adventures has exclusive rights to that property, so there are not multiple tour companies filling the place up like can happen in Yelapa.

I was on the same boat as Teduardo. As I've said before, I think this trip is worth every penny.

I hope that I can share with you our observations this way:

We took that day trip on Friday, January 7, 2005.
The weather was perfect, sunny, plus 30C and awesome scenery...
I hope that you will enjoy it too!

i dont know if your gone yet but we just came back from pv on the 19 and we were in las caletats on the 17. very beautiful worth every penny, my first time doing snorkling we saw thousands of awsome colored fish,, very clear water. good food and good drinks are also all inclusive with your price , also stoped to see the whales and dolpins in the ocean on the way to the catelats.

Caletas is so great!! We got so drunk on the wonderful Margaritas!! LOL (Not obnoxious drunk, but man those trails are tricky after three or four!) It was my first time snorkeling too, nice calm water, plenty of stuff to see. I would take this trip again in a heartbeat. And man, you can't beat whale watching as a bonus!! How cool.
