Things to do in  Puerto Vallarta

Great experience all around, probably the best part of our trip to Puerto Vallarta. Tour guides spoke English and Spanish, provided water and helmets during the ride, and the lunch afterwards was amazing. Highly, highly recommend for couples, families (with children over 10), or small groups of friends.

What a great way to see Puerto Vallarta, I have been to Puerto Vallarta before and have seen many of the locations around, but this was a new way to see more of this beautiful area.

Being able to see the coast line in Puerto Vallarta was amazing! The tour guide was great also! Thanks for having cold beverages to drink.

We had a fantastic time on this adventure! Jose was an excellent host, the hot springs were relaxing, the food was delicious, and the massages on the beach were the perfect end to it all. Highly recommend doing this while in Puerto Vallarta.

Our tour guide Alex was fantastic. He kept at a reasonable pace and constantly checked in with the group to see if we needed a break. He gave us history about the places we visited. This was our first time in Puerto Vallarta and we are so thrilled we took this tour. we visited sites we would have never known about as newcomers.

We are beyond happy we decided to take this tour. Christian was so fun! This tour made me fall in love with puerto Vallarta. 10/10 recommend

This was the BEST experience ever. Alfredo and his team were great. I was so nervous, but they made it super easy and super fun. Highly recommend going to see them if you are in Puerto Vallarta! See the city from the sky-you won't regret it!

Love this trip Hugo was amazing. The tequila tasting was especially fun. Just a side note unless you're an experienced biker maybe not the bike tour for you. Definitely worth the money got to see some off beat places outside of Puerto Vallarta

This tour was amazing. The guides and hosts were fantastic, spoke great English, and made sure we had an excellent experience. The Botanical gardens were awesome, and the tequila refinery was a great experience with excellent, real tequila! This is a must for your trip to Puerto Vallarta. I wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars!

Jose is an outstanding host! Learned not only about the places we went but also the history of Puerto Vallarta. Hot springs were amazing, food was delicious and the massages were very relaxing.

Great was to see and taste your way around Puerto Vallarta. Our guide was awesome—so informative and accommodating. One person in our group was gluten intolerant and she made sure everything was safe to eat. You are pretty much guaranteed to be full by the end of this tour. I would highly recommend.

Great tour! Delicious food. The host was informative and kind. I came a little late and the host waited for me which I greatly appreciate. Did this on my first full day in puerto Vallarta and it was a great opportunity to see Zona Romantica while eating delicious food.

This is the best way to see Puerto Vallarta! Once you get the lay of the land you can always take a cab back. It was a beautiful day, seeing beautiful Puerto Vallarta!

We had a great time with Charly and Eric as our guides and photographer. We enjoyed making tortillas and drinking the best smoothies on the island at a ranch and driving up into the mountains to see a different part of Puerto Vallarta. It was beautiful! I would definitely recommend this company and this trip!

This was a fantastic tour! We all had an amazing time. The tour guides were so friendly and we felt so safe. They interacted with my kids well, and the entire experience from beginning to end was truly unforgettable. Excellent way to see Puerto Vallarta

Getting close to both Mama and baby dolphin. Great to see Puerto Vallarta from the bay water side. I t helps to be s strong swimmer.

AMAZING walking tour. This is the BEST way to see the city, see the art and learn the history of Puerto Vallarta. Our guide Isabel was fantastic. She was very attentive, thoughtful and kind. She shared her love of the city and we loved hearing the history and discovering the city with her. Isabel has a lovely demeanor and we loved our time with her. We highly recommend this tour.

We were looking for a snorkeling tour in Puerto Vallarta and stumbled across this experience in a local online group. The reviews were outstanding so we decided to book the tour. We had such a wonderful experience! Because we were staying close to Mismaloya, we met our guide, Armando, and the rest of the group at Mismaloya. What a charming little fishing village and beach! We had a great time out on the water and loved the small group setting. Armando was so down to earth and his storytelling was the highlight of the trip. We enjoyed learning about the birds and fish that inhabit the area along with some of the history and folklore. The snorkeling was a great experience and we got to see a lot of different fish. The walk on the shore to see the movie set after snorkeling was also fun and entertaining. Highly recommended.

This was our first time visiting Puerto Vallarta and this was the most perfect way to get to know the town. We did the tour with Al hours after we landed and it was the best experience! It was such a delight to spend time with him, learning about the town, but more than anything meeting some of the locals and taking in the best flavors you could imagine. We’re already planning on going back soon and we’ll call Al to see which tour he recommends next. Gracias por hacer de nuestra primer visita una experiencia maravillosa!! Héctor e Isabel

What a wild and amazing adventure we had! I wasn't sure exactly what my husband had signed us up for but wow.....jam packed adventure after adventure in a 7 hour day! We met at Puerto Magico to check in and get our tickets. This place is a small area where there are shopping, food and restrooms and an area to gather and meet. We got on a boat and took a high speed ride to the far south side of Puerto Vallarta. We went to a small beach town and got off the boat and walked through a beach village to meet our ATV trucks. 8 of us per truck and we went up a large mountain. It was a fun and rough ride as the roads in Puerto Vallarta are not smooth. It was a cool way to see the area. At the end of the ride we got to the top and were dropped off at Vallarta Adventures area where it is set up for all kinds of excursions. There is also restrooms, changing rooms and areas to sit and relax and play. They first fitted us for zip lining gear and gave us a talk about what to expect. The guys working that day were incredibly nice! Lance, Pina, Daniel were just a few of the incredible guys that helped us. I wish I could recall all of their names but they were amazing and made our experience that much more memorable. Extremely professional, funny and kind. After the safety talk, we walked up a small hill to meet our mule. This is where we were paired with a mule that had a funny name. Mine was Tarantula and he treated me well. I rode him up a steep dusty hill to the top. With that said, if you have asthma issues or use an inhaler, bring it! My husband has asthma and unfortunately had trouble breathing with all the dust kicking up riding the mules. At the very top, there is a water station. They gather us for another safety talk and that is when we start the zipline experience. This was my third zip line adventure but this one far surpassed any of the ones we have done before. The first two zip lines are your basic zip lines. Then you get to an area where you rapell down a waterfall. A little difficult for me but there were plenty of guides to help. Also I had my kids ages 9 and 11 and they were helped down by a guide since they are so light weight. At the bottom of the waterfall is cold water. Then we zip lined down and this is where you zip line right into cold water. Brrr! Takes your breath away but you warm up fast since it was hot outside. Then we went down a water slide which was fun! Next we hiked in a little bit and did some more zip line and ropes courses. Some were harder than others but I somehow managed to do them all and keep my sanity. One was pretty steep but the guide was very helpful. The best one is what they call the roller coaster one. I was nervous because they said at the end you fall into water. Of course that freaked me out and my adrenaline was racing on that one. It's a pretty neat zip line though. It goes on for a long time and it's scary in some parts. At the end you do get released into ice cold water but I was only under water for a second and in reality it wasn't so scary. My kids both got stuck because they are so light but thankfully lots of guides to help them get unstuck and they both loved it even with a drop into ice cold water. Then we hiked for a bit and rode a zip line that was like a surf board and you rode with a partner and that was pretty fun. Then comes another scary waterslide. This one was STEEP and I wasn't so sure. I almost almost decided to just walk it but glad I didn't. They do give you head gear and elbow/arm pads. I was kind of confused because we looked like we were going to play hockey! But boy was I glad I had that head gear on! The waterslide is so steep and goes so fast that at one turn I flipped and hit my head pretty good but was not injured. It's a fast waterslide and ends quickly. Kids loved it. At the end is some more water and a small walk back to our starting point at Vallarta Adventures. They help take off your gear at that point and then you have 45 minutes to change your clothes, relax and eat. They offered homemade quesadillas, tortilla chips and salsas at the end and they were delicious! You can also purchase your photos and videos of your adventure with them at the end. For $189 USD, we decided to pass on that but got a chance to look at them and they were awesome! Just couldn't justify the price. After we hung out for about an hour eating and relaxing, they take us back down in the ATV trucks to the beach area again where we meet our boat guide and ride back to Puerto Magico. This was an amazing adventure....maybe even a little too much adventure me being 48 years old but I am glad I did it and had this experience. It's pretty strenuous and scary at times so beware if you are not up for pushing your limits. Also this is an adventure for kids 8 and up and I only recommend it for kids that can handle this kind of excursions. My kids have done zip lining many times so they are not scared but I could see how it could be very scary for a child that isn't use to this. Highly recommend this high adrenaline and amazing adventure if you are ever in Puerto Vallarta! I can say that I would do this one again for sure.
