Paddle as a team aboard your giant Starship
Forget about paddling alone.
Your giant paddleboard turns the journey into a fun and social experience where everyone works together while exploring the coast of Mismaloya.
Experience Los Arcos at night
Discover one of Puerto Vallarta’s most iconic natural landmarks from a different perspective, surrounded by the ocean and the silhouettes of the islands beneath the night sky.
Swim in glowing water
Experience the natural phenomenon of bioluminescence from the water. Move your hands and body and watch tiny marine organisms create flashes of light around you.
A small-group, motor-free adventure
No noisy engines—just paddles, the ocean, and the night. A more intimate and environmentally friendly way to experience the beauty of Banderas Bay.
Instead of paddling alone, everyone works together as a team, creating a fun and social way to explore the coast and the incredible scenery of Los Arcos. Enjoy the colors of the sky as you paddle toward one of Puerto Vallarta’s most iconic natural landmarks, then stop for a refreshing snorkeling adventure among the impressive rock formations and marine life of Banderas Bay. As night falls, the experience completely changes. Paddle beneath the stars and discover Los Arcos from a perspective few visitors get to see. When conditions allow, experience bioluminescence and watch tiny marine organisms create flashes of light in the water with every movement. With no noisy engines—just paddles, the ocean, and the night—the Starship Experience offers a small-group, motor-free adventure combining teamwork, snorkeling, nature, incredible scenery, and the magic of Banderas Bay after dark. Perfect for couples, friends, families, and travelers looking for something different from a traditional boat tour.
Take Hwy 200 south toward Mismaloya. Just after the Barceló sign, turn right before the river and follow the road to the beach. Facing the ocean, walk all the way to the left (south), crossing the river if needed. Paddle Zone is at the far end, between two massage stands.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
