Explore Puerto Vallarta’s Underwater Arches with a Marine Biologist

Did you know oceans occupy 99% of the living space on our planet, yet only about 10% of that has been explored by humans? During this tour, you’ll catch a glimpse of the unseen world beneath the waves. A certified marine biologist will accompany you, sharing fascinating insights into the bay’s complex habitats. As you swim through natural tunnels, you’ll encounter vibrant fish species, from angelfish and puffers to damsel fish and rainbow gobies. You may also spot starfish, sea urchins, and giant manta rays. Moreover, the absence of fishing and anchoring in this protected area allows marine life to thrive, creating a truly remarkable underwater haven.

Marine Life & Must-See Highlights

Los Arcos is not only rich in sea life but also a sanctuary for various birds, including frigate birds, pelicans, and blue-footed boobies. One of the deepest points of the bay, known as the Devil’s Canyon, lies here—making it an ideal spot for advanced divers. However, snorkelers still enjoy plenty of shallow areas bursting with color and activity. Thanks to the guide’s handy ID sheet, you’ll be able to identify the fish and invertebrates you encounter, enhancing your appreciation of this underwater paradise.
