rudechuck Posted April 23 #1 Share Posted April 23 I know there are several extra cost activities at Las Caletas, as well as a gift shop. Is it cash only, or do they take credit cards also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudechuck Posted April 23 Author #2 Share Posted April 23 I also emailed Vallarta Adventures to ask the same question. Here is their reply: "Thank you for contacting Vallarta Adventures! Yes, at our "Las Caletas Beach Hideaway" you would be able to make purchases with credit Card or Cash, whichever would be most convenient for you." I asked for a price list as well. If I get it, I'll post it here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudechuck Posted April 24 Author #3 Share Posted April 24 They did not give me a price list. Here is my email to Vallarta Adventures: "Is there a price list you can send me for the extra cost activities - such as sea lion encounter, stingray encounter, power snorkel, etc.? - or a link to where I might find these?" Here is what they replied: "We would suggest for you to contact the Cruise Ship agency so they may share with you the list of optional activities that will be offered that will fit in the itinerary of your time in Las Caletas." Guess we'll know when we get there. I'll see if I can bring a list back with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSN-Travelers Posted April 29 #4 Share Posted April 29 Vallarta Adventures is the excursion operator. However, they contract with the cruise industry and the cruise ship determines pricing. You can't buy excursions directly through them or through a third-party tour broker if the cruise sells the same excursion. The excursion time listed on the VA website is for the public. The cruise ships often have their own schedule based on port arrival time. I believe the massage, parasailing and scuba diving are provided by independent service providers so pricing may be set the day of. Vallarta Adventures has a tour office/gift shop inside the cruise terminal that serves the general public. You may have time prior to your excursion start to visit the office for current optional price information. The port is configured like an airport. The ships and excursion boats are inside a secure area. The terminal, tour offices and shops are outside the secure area. Please allow time to get through cruise passenger security checkpoint if you visit the public portion of the terminal. Enjoy . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoMom!! Posted May 27 #6 Share Posted May 27 @rudechuck We did and loved this excursion in March of 2023. We walked in our excursion group directly off the ship, and onto their boat. On the boat ride out, they come around with a brochure of the extra activities - and I would assume you could use a credit card for that. We didn't buy any extra experiences or any gifts on the island, however the servers who bring you drinks ( we "set up camp" on the beach) are awesome, and we did tip them $10 US - we saw a lot of people leaving US cash on their table after the lunch as well. Not necessary - and we aren't huge tippers - but we felt the service warranted it for us. We felt we had a great experience without purchasing extras - the time does fly by - so my advice would be not to overbook yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
