 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are heading to Puerto Vallarta and looking for a fun day out on the water, book with Mike's Fishing and Tours — you will not regret it! We had a huge group and had the most amazing time cruising around. The boat & vibes was great and unlimited drinks kept the good times flowing all day long. We got to swim, relax, and just soak in everything that makes Puerto Vallarta so special. the crew is what truly made this experience. They were absolutely awesome — attentive, fun, and genuinely great to be around. They also took the most beautiful photos of us throughout the trip, the kind you actually want to keep and share. It felt personal and thoughtful.
