Top Puerto Vallarta Day Trips

We really enjoyed this tour! It’s a great way to start off your time in PV. Our guide Manu was awesome! He was very informative and went at our pace. We never felt rushed and he let us know when there would be upcoming bathrooms breaks. The food was all amazing! It’s a lot of food so pace yourself! Water was provided and you could buy drinks at each stop as well if you wanted. It wasn’t too much walking and each stop was unique. Highly recommend! :)

Saul and his team really had this tour well organized and they made the whole trip enjoyable. Such an interesting place to visit. Saw whales and dolphins which was exciting. Water was magnificent and refreshing. Food and drinks were great and the staff came around often to make sure you were well taken care of. Water activities were great. Really an incredible and unforgettable tour. This is a must do experience on your list!

Top notch experience, Vallarta Adventures is one of the best tour companies in PV. It can be cold on the boat out in the morning, take a hoodies or jacket if you’re in the spring or fall. You can keep your stuff in the boat the whole day without worrying about it, so packing heavy is not an issue. They serve coffee, mixed drinks, fruit and pastries. First stop was snorkeling, water wasn’t super clear when we went but we did get to see a lot of fish. Sometimes there are little stinging beads in the water the locals call “rosario,” like rosary beads that sting, usually it’s not a problem but it was in our day, we didn’t stay in the water long. Second stop was Yelapa, you need to choose either lounging on the beach or going into town and seeing the waterfall, you’re there for 1.5 hours so there’s not a chance to do both. If you go in the spring, it’s the dry season and there will be very little water in the waterfall. We chose beach, hustled to the front of the line and got chairs on the Fri t row. Chairs are complimentary. You have access to a restaurant and bathroom, order early because the time goes quick. The water was much colder out there than in town or just south of town. The beach and view are great, well worth it. Last stop was at Majahuitas Beach, there’s lots of covered seating and you are served a BBQ Buffett. Food was okay, rips were better than chicken. After lunch you have the option to kayak or SUP. We stayed there’s for about 1.5 hours as well. Plenty of beach seating with shade. On the way back, the crew puts in a really fun show, won’t spoil it! Bring cash to tip at the end, recommend $20 US equivalent per person in party.
