I have listed the tour name and a link to the tour description provided by Princess Cruises. My thoughts about the tours are written below the tour name.
Mazatlan: Concordia, Copala & Golden Zone
A great tour to experience three different traditional villages and watch their craftsmanship (tile making, pottery, and masks) in action.
Cabo San Lucas: El Arco Cruise & Playa Medano
I can't go to Cabo and not take a catamaran to see the famous arches up close. After our catamaran ride we went to Medano beach where resort staff brought lunch to us while we relaxed on the lounge chairs.
Catalina Island: Catalina Semi-Sub
There is an option to purchase fish food which you can launch out of the semi-submarine with a push of a button. It was so amusing to see a swarm of fishes congregate by my porthole with the push of a button.
Ensenada: City Drive & Mexican Folkloric Festival
I loved the opportunity to watch a mariachi band perform live and adored watching the dancers perform their traditional dances.

San Diego: San Diego Zoo Safari Park
I would love to go on a safari in Africa one day but the San Diego Zoo Safari Park was the closest thing I could do to experience a safari at the moment. My favourite part was watching the behaviour of the gorillas: I was mesmerized by them.
Tip: Go on the "Africa Tram" as soon as you get to the Safari Park to avoid line-ups later on in the day.

La Paz: Snorkeling with Sea Lions
Still pinching myself over the amazing experience of getting to snorkel in San Rafaelito Bay where a sea lion colony resides. While looking at the fishes and coral reef below me through my goggles a group of sea lions came swimming by! This was unlike any snorkeling experience I had ever done. I will never forget the first time I saw a giant sea lion sneak by under me while I was snorkeling...absolutely incredible!

Puerto Vallarta: Kayaking, Waterfall & Snorkeling Safari
Hands down one of the best tours offered in Mexico! A full day of activities including horseback riding, swimming in the waterfalls and snorkeling were done on this tour. To finish off the tour we had a buffet lunch at a private beach. Kayaking and stand up paddle boarding were also available at the private beach for those who wanted to do it. On the catamaran ride back to the ship we saw a couple of whales breaching within close proximity to us as well as dolphins swimming by to make this already magical day even more special.
Puerto Vallarta: Jungle Zipline Adventure
So much fun and adrenaline! The tour guides were so energetic and friendly they were able to convince me to zipline upside down as well as to rappel down 70 feet from the tree platform to the ground. The best part of the whole tour was the pendulum swing which I was initially hesitant to do but ended up loving.
Loreto:
I didn't do a tour but it was my first time at this port and I kept saying over and over "I can't believe how beautiful it is here!"
Just walking around the waterfront area and the shopping street made for a great day in Loreto.
Muchas gracias Mexico! There is so much more to discover about you. I look forward to coming back soon.
