More than Tourism, We Do Science.

Explora Vallarta is not a traditional travel agency. We are a team led by Marine Biologists and Naturalists deeply passionate about Mexico's biodiversity.

Every tour is an opportunity to research, educate, and protect. We firmly believe that you only protect what you love, which is why our goal is to connect you with nature in a profound and respectful way.
