What are people saying about Puerto Vallarta

AnnieLabi, Jun 2026

Informative Tour Guide

Bruno our guide was pretty cool. He was also very informative during the boat ride explaining about the islands, habitat and different species of Los Arcos. He was also very kind giving us pesos to use the public toilet. He gave very clear and simple instructions as well for our safety during our snorkeling adventure and boat ride. The captain of the boat, Pablo was also very professional navigating through the waves. My husband and I had a great time!

Puerto Vallarta Best Zipline Canopy + Tequila and Speed Boat Ride

Emily_C, Jun 2026

This was such a fun day!...

This was such a fun day! All of the guys were so fun and the views were incredible. The lunch and drinks hit so good after a day on the mountains. We even got to hold monkeys and toucans! Highly recommend taking the speed boat option to see Los Arcos. 5 ⭐️ would definitely recommend!

Private ATV tour with waterfall and Tequila tasting

Jeffrey_G, May 2026

From start to finish this...

From start to finish this was a great little tour. Expect about 3 hours. 2 hours of those driving the atv. The office was easy to find and clean. There are small lockers for a backpack or other small things you need. We went during the dry season so it was very dusty so wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. They provide you with a helmet goggles and bandanna for your face. The guides were knowledgeable and fun. They took plenty of pics for us (which you can purchase at the end). We did stop twice, once in the mountain for a tequila tasting and again at a little Restaurant where the river runs. It was the dry season so we didn’t expect there to be a huge flowing river but was still a nice stop for a drink and a snack/ lunch. I’d definitely book this again maybe in the rainy season and get more muddy haha

Tracy_A, May 2026

Canadian with her girls

The food was excellent. I was a bit afraid of getting sick because I have a sensitive stomach but everything was safe, clean and delicious! I loved every morsel. Joanna was our guide and she was amazing, providing a very enriching tour that highlighted the history and cultural heritage of Vallarta. She went above and beyond to make everyone feel engaged and welcome. I HIGHLY recommend this tour.

All day party - music, dancing, drinks!

This was a fun party the whole day! Crew was super attentive and kind, David was terrific at engaging with the passengers. All of them were fun and we had a great day. Fun music and dancing from the moment we left the pier. The beach was fun and they accommodated us with all that we asked. The ATV ride to the waterfall was very fun. Highly recommend will do again next time we are here.

Alejandra_S, May 2026

Hands down, BEST tour!

SOO worth it, just book it…. What an experience!! We had so much fun riding the horses through different terrains- we had a tequila tasting, made our own salsa & enjoyed a delicious lunch poolside. Our first time on a horse & we felt very safe being matched & guided. Couldn’t recommend this excursion anymore!!! Make sure to bring shoes you don’t mind getting wet + a bandana to cover your face from dust other than that just be ready for an adventure. Thank you again for such a beautiful experience

Amazing day trip. Went beyond our expectations

My husband and I went after our wedding in Sayulita! It was amazing. Perfect mixture of relaxing, fun, and adventure! We had enough space on the boat to enjoy each other. The staff was insanely helpful and was always ready to serve us. The islands were breathtaking and having a photographer on board let us unwind without needing our phones. We bought the photos for $40 -- they are so good!

Lynsey_R, Apr 2026

Absolutely would do this again

This was even better than expected! Victor and his crew were super friendly and helpful. The yacht was a catamaran and was very nice/well maintained. The drinks and food were delicious and easily obtained. The other people on the boat with us were great, it was a small group which is perfect. We snorkeled and lounged at beaches, 10/10. Highly recommend, it’s a great price for everything that’s included.

Amazing!

This experience was amazing! Swimming in the blue microorganisms was straight out of an avatar movie! Learning about the different species of birds. Highly recommend. Our guide Diego was spectacular. Very informative, friendly, and ensured we had a great time! The Captain Anthony was also great! He took us through one of the caves in the boat, ensured we had safe ocean transport!

ATV and RZR Jorullo Bridge Experience in Puerto Vallarta

Brittanie_R, Apr 2026

So fun!

Rating is based on the excursion itself, not the transpiration to/from. We loved riding ATVs through the hills and over the bridges. Jonny and Luis were amazing guides and kept us very safe. Jonny was very helpful and caring of our experience. Be prepared to ride in an open air truck back to your drop off location.
