What are people saying about Puerto Vallarta

Horseback Riding & Swim: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas

Tanis_H, Apr 2026

What a great experience!

Such a great experience! The swimming with the horse was awesome!! An experience I’ve never done before. Our guides were so friendly, and the food was incredible. Making the salsa was new to me and fun. The whole day was definitely a great time by all of us.

Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour

Lan_D, Apr 2026

It was the best tour yet!

I cannot say enough great words for the staff. Black party buses picked us up from Sayulita and shuttled us to Puerto Vallarta to the bigger boat. We were waited on left and right, I never had an empty cup in my hand and the food was quite tasty. The staff helped my younger son into the water and even stayed with him in the water while he took his first snorkel trip. I was told by a local that this is by far the most superior of tours to Marietas Island/snorkeling. The boat was great and well equipped with slides down both sides of the boat, plenty of paddleboards, and kayaks. It was the best tour yet!

Mega Catamarans ALL INCLUSIVE Remote Paradise Beach Adventure

Karen_D, Apr 2026

Amazing day spent with...

Amazing day spent with the crew of Chica Locca! The entire staff was super attentive to everyone on board and at the private beach... especially Ricky who made sure the fun never stopped. The food and drinks were perfect and the private beach club provided options for everyone to enjoy their day doing whatever they chose... hike to a waterfall, snorkel, jump or slide off the boat, paddleboard, or just relax at the pool with a cold beverage in hand. Perfect day! Definitely a highlight to our vacation and would highly recommend.

Rhythms of the night, Sunset Cruise, Candlelit Dinner & Alma Show

oriana_P, Apr 2026

Sensational show in a gorgeous place!

The night consisted for 4 phases - 45 min boat ride over, buffet style dinner, ~1-1.25 hour show and 45 min boat back. Each section of the trip was phenomenal! The boat ride over was scenic and the crew was generous with fun drinks! The dinner was delicious (we had the base package which was excellent)! The show was really the highlight of the night! The performers were incredible and my jaw dropped more than once!! My partner and I particularly loved the flipping tiger team and the fire dancers but everyone was amazing ! The boat ride back was fun - it became a dance party with more drinks!

Kim_M, Apr 2026

This was a great tour...

This was a great tour with good food, a lot of food, a great local tour guide (Erik) with the ability to walk through parts of PV and get a taste of the local feel. We were late to the tour from the cruise ship, but they were so accommodating, put us in the next tour, with the tour guide actually stepping away for a few minutes to find us in the park. That was so sweet!

Boat and Snorkel Tour to 5 Islands of Los Arcos

Sarah_B, Apr 2026

A great afternoon trip!

Fun afternoon trip! Love that we have the flexibility of afternoon trips. Guillermo was awesome at explaining the varied species and pointing them out in the National Park @ Los Arcos. It's the season for the Pelicans so we got to see 3 little baby hatchlings as well, so cute! The snorkeling was fun, my vest was a little big, so Guillermo swam back to the boat to get me a smaller size even though I told him not to. I appreciate him going out of the way. We were able to see some beautiful fish, honestly more than I've seen in Costa Rica and Florida. We will have to go back when my husband is able to come with me. Great experience for a solo traveler as well. Experienced my first local bus adventure to and from Mismaloya. On the way back, it was packed due to the end of the day, but I had a set and we were singing to la musica! A way to break myself into my new community here in Vallarta. Thank you to our capitan as well! It was a good day.

Puerto Vallarta's Best Canopy Zipline + Jorullo Bridge walk!

Kaylee_K, Mar 2026

Best cruise excursion

The hike was beautiful and fun. The ziplining was exciting! There were multiple water stops along the way. My 8 year year and 12 year old loved it. Then we ate at the restaurant and swam in the pool after. It was refreshing. Thanks for the amazing day and fun memories while we stopped off for our cruise!

Mega Yacht ALL INCLUSIVE Yelapa Waterfall & Snorkeling Adventure

Gerald_K, Mar 2026

Book this excursion!

Wonderful ❤️ The crew took incredible care of everyone. The food, the drinks, the service were top notch. When we stopped for swimming, there was a turtle floating around the boat and whale breaching so close to us. The host Ricky was great, entertained us and made it a memorable excursion. Book this excursion!

There are different...

There are different pickup areas. Snacks and drinks are available halfway through the tour during a quick stop. There is a restaurant at the end. There is also a free tequila tasting and you can buy bottles there. They accept USD or pesos. Our tour guides Luis and Polo were great.

Marietas Islands Snorkel Tour & Hidden Beach

Lori_B, Mar 2026

A must do activity in PV.

Great crew running this snorkeling trip plus swim into hidden beach. We even saw whales throughout the day. A trifecta of activities within one event. 3 crew and 4 guests. One went scuba diving with own guide. Us 3 had another guide. Really great guys, helpful, informative, honest and friendly. Highly recommend Rodrigo, Evers and Daniel. Easy taxi ride RT from hotel. USD $6 each-way. No issues -felt completely safe.

Las Caletas Beach & Adventure Park with buffet lunch and open bar

Lindsi_B, Jan 2026

Amazing family beach excursion

Vegan families - this one is for you! We saw whales and dolphins on the boat… when we arrived at las caletas there were tacos with black beans and veggies. Tons of beach spots to chill on hammocks and nooks. For lunch a great salad with nuts and veggies, more refried black beans and chips. Lots of bars everywhere, I recommend the strawberry margarita, best I’ve had in Mexico. They don’t provide towels but you don’t really need one because there’s lots of seating available. Towel would just be a nice to have as a bonus. My only complaint is the photographer. We just liked 1 of the photos and wanted to just buy 1 digital photo that could be emailed to us. She refused and said we must buy the whole package or nothing… why not make some money instead of $0? That was a temporary bummer feeling, but the rest of the staff was great. Recommend just taking your own photos because they wouldn’t sell individual ones.

Private ATV tour with waterfall and Tequila tasting

William_P, Jan 2026

ATV's foster togetherness!

We bought this experience for our son and his wife for Christmas. They rode on one ATV together since his wife had never been on one before. They had a great time and would highly recommend it to others. My daughter-in-law said she liked holding on to my son and riding with him rather then beside him on her own ATV.
