David, our tour bus driver was great, but that’s the only good thing I can say, the rest of the excursion was a complete waste of time and money.
First stop was at the Cathedral of Mazatlan, we stopped and the drive said to be back in 40 mins. No tour, just aimlessly wandering around.
Second stop was to watch cliff divers, again just get out and come back in 20 mins. This is just a tourist trap because they won’t dive until enough tourists have handed over money.
The last stop was a boat ride to an “all inclusive” beach resort/restaurant on Stone Island. The food was mediocre at best, and because the beach was closed the majority of our time was spend at the table, being encouraged to drink absolutely disgusting mixed drinks. Because the beach was closed we only had 2 activity options, a 15 min ride on a cart pulled by a mule, and a “coco-loco” which is a rotting coconut they drain and fill with alcohol and some disgusting mixers. I still can’t figure out how getting an atrocious drink from a coconut is an activity. The misadventure ended with a ride back to the ferry, but before we could go the driver pretty much demanded money from everyone, and stood there until we handed him cash.
This excursion was a complete joke, and I’m certain it wouldn’t have been any better had the beach been open. Find a better excursion from a reputable tour operator, this one isn’t worth the money.
