You wanna download an app called get your guide? It works out a lot cheaper than you would go in direct. I've used multiple times and it's always worked no regrets.

Ports of call

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5

It was a very tourist port which I didn't mind because I've never been there before. But you have to make sure you pick the right excursion that suits you. What I found is that if you look around, you can do atv Segway Mainly hiring private catamarans or yachts for a few hours. I did notice there is a beach that you can go to, which is right next to the port. Come to think of it, I think it's in the port, and it's definitely for 4 party goers. Because what I saw you can do water sports right on the beach?.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5

Puerto Vallaria What's an amazing port of call? I did have my first ever shark encounter? We went to this private island. I can't remember the name of it. At least 20 of us went on this private transfer over to the island, where we done horseback riding. Exploring the island and snorkelling, which was a surprise.That's why I met my shark🙈 On the upside, we had a 2 hour. Open bar with free snacks. Which involved tortillas and an outdoor grill. I definite. wanna go again regardless

Mazatlan, Mexico

4 out of 5

To be honest, Mazatlan was a bit boring. Not much to do In that port from what I believe? It's a residential area, and if you like to explore the culture, then why not
