Mike's Fishing & Tours - 48335 Puerto Vallarta

went on the Florero with 10 of us. Was great!! Crew was on point! Went to arc and private island and ate at Wikari.....fresh fish was really good. Would highly recommend Mikes Fishing and Tours.

Our group went with Izzy, Oscar, Mary and crew to Los Arcos PV for snorkeling February 24/19. The crew was amazing! Spoke great English and was super funny! We were lucky enough to see a baby humpback whale and it’s mama on the way, the captain got super close to shore for great photos of the Malecon and the boat was super clean. When we stopped to snorkel/swim they were very clear and strict on safety procedures which I was happy with as I was a first time snorkler. Once in the water saw huge amount of fish and a stingray! For me it was a quick in and out of the water as I didn’t feel I was a strong enough swimmer But others In the group was in the water the full time. On the way back to port the food and beer was flowing and music pumping. It was a great event!

Never recommend this tour .Not at all what I was told would happen on the boat . Very uncomfortable boat and super windy the day we went out . Do not recommend ever .

8 hour trip in a half broken down boat with no sonar or fish finder. Boats all around us caught fish. We were told the fish finder and GPS were in our Captains head. Miguel’s performance came up well short. I have been on 50 other fishing tours and this was by far the worst. ****** In response to owner:

One of the best boat tour experiences to date! Great captain and crew, extremely friendly staff. Highly recommend for a private event. We took a private tour from Marina Vallarta to Playa Quimixto. Such a great way to spend here in Puerto Vallarta

The finest whale-watching excursion we’ve ever had. A professional, fun, skilled crew on a comfortable, spacious boat with ample places for great views. The crew went out of their way to get us close sightings - even staying longer on an already generously timed tour (4 hours!). Continental breakfast, a delicious lunch, and all you can drink included in the price!

We had the best time. Mikes Fishing Boat did a fantastic job entertaining the group and we saw many whales. The food was great and the boat was very clean. I highly recommend Mikes Fishing and Tours.

Writing this on behalf of my husband and cousin, who are sitting here with me. I was in charge of finding a shared fishing charter for them and based on reviews and services offered, I chose Mike's. Leading up to the tour they had great communication. I was told the tour would be either in or off shore based on sea conditions but that it's geared toward in shore in order to let less skilled fishers have a chance to catch. This worked well for us because though my cousin and husband are skilled, they wanted quantity vs size. However, the night before we reached out to them to confirm whether the tour would still be going out (based on that days weather conditions) and whether it would be in or off shore fishing. We got limited responses and eventually they stopped responding. The day of they got on the boat and another couple were the only other people on board. (They also had a bad experience and I hope they leave their reviews as well.) The tour ended up going off shore. At the time no one on board knew why because the crew didn't speak to anyone. It wasn't until later that we found out it was because a red ride came through that was killing a lot of fish. No one on board touched a fishing pole for the entire 8 hour tour, much to the dismay of my husband and cousin and the other couple on board, one of which who was a semi pro bass fisherman. Not once was it offered to choose a different location to try or was it explained that a red tide was causing bad conditions. Now, as a group who are familiar with fishing, excursions, and the unpredictability of nature, we understand that catching anything is never guaranteed. However, what's upsetting is that we were never given the option to rebook for a different date after the red tide passed through. As a fishing charter company, they would have been well aware that fishing in those conditions would be extremely poor but still chose to take everyone out. We communicated this to the company but the declined to do anything to rectify the situation. Needless to say, we don't recommend this company.
