Puerto Vallarta Rhythms of the Night: Gourmet Dinner & Alma Show

Maribel_M, Aug 2026

Things worth knowing!

We had an amazing time on this experience. The boat ride over to Las Caletas, where the event takes place, was a pretty ride. The way back was even more fun with our boat crew putting on dancing music and they even put on a show. The crew, was definitely súper nice, funny, welcoming and attentive. August is part of the rainy season so it might be a hot and humid night so take a fan. Also, wear comfortable shoes to walk up and down throughout the mountain without twisting an ankle. Nothing súper intense but definitely not heels friendly! Low wedges are ok. Dinner was good and was worth the wait, however, make sure you eat lunch or a big breakfast, as dinner comes after the show, so dinner is a bit late. (We didn’t eat a lot for breakfast and didn’t have lunch so we were hungry). That was our bad! Overall, If you want to experience something different and pretty cool. I definitely recommend booking it! I think you won’t be disappointed.

Sunset Boat Tour & Bioluminescence Adventure at Los Arcos Islands

Shannon_H, Aug 2026

Magical experience

SUCH a magical/surreal experience - was lovely to see Los Arcos at sunset and go to the beach to wait for the darkness so we could see the bioluminescence. And swimming to see that effect was so incredible! I could have done that for hours. Highly recommend.

Boat and Snorkel Tour to 5 Islands of Los Arcos

I had such a wonderful...

I had such a wonderful time on this tour! Everything was well organized, the scenery was beautiful, and the experience was unforgettable. A special thank you to our guide, Andrés. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip. He was patient, knowledgeable, and always had a smile on his face, which made the experience even more enjoyable. You can really tell he cares about his guests. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta. Thank you for such an amazing day! ❤️

Marietas Islands Snorkel Tour & Hidden Beach

Marina_M, Jul 2026

Great Island Adventure

Fabulous bay tour to the Marietas Islands, including stopping to watch black iguanas on the rocks, dolphins play, and sea turtles float. Our guide, Rodrigo, was very knowledgeable about the marine life and the history of the geography. He was extremely helpful in guiding us through the cave into the hidden beach. Afterward, we had a great snorkeling experience. All around fun and adventure. Many thanks to Rodrigo and our captain.

Puerto Vallarta Luxury Yacht Tour: Snorkeling, Open Bar and Lunch

Kayleen_H, Jul 2026

Must Do Boat Adventure

We had incredible time on this tour. Victor and his crew were so friendly and professional. The boat was super clean and nice. The food and snacks were delicious and we loved the open bar. We did not feel crowded on the boat with the other guests and felt right at home. We were able to leisurely coast to private beach, snorkel, swim, and explore. Then we enjoyed a great lunch with more cocktails before heading back slowing hugging the coast. Since the seas were calm, we were able to get super close to Los Arcos for some pictures and enjoy the scenery. I highly recommend Vallarta Adventures/Victor and his crew!

Sunset and Bioluminescence Boat Tour at Los Arcos Islands

Rebeccah_S, Jul 2026

Amazing experience.

This was a great experience. You need to be nimble enough to be able to get on and off a rocking boat. Most able bodied larger children and adults can do this. We started at the Mismaloya office in Puerto Vallarta and took an open air bus with a cover on it to Mismaloya (about a 15 minute drive, which I enjoyed as I looked at the views of the bay and different parts of PV). When we got to Mismaloya, last chance for bathrooms and then we walked a short distance to the boat. We were offered beer and soft drinks. Our guide gave us a short history of the area and then talked about the Los Arcos islands which were definitely worth seeing in the daylight. We went to a small beach near the islands and experienced some excellent snorkeling (equipment was provided), while we waited for the sunset. Once the sun had set and fireflies were out, we got back on the boat and headed back to Los Arcos for the bioluminescent tour. We were there in mid-July and the moon was barely visible. We put on lifejackets Once we were in the water, we had snorkeling equipment (provided for us) on and swam together through an open tunnel under one of the islands. Our guide made sure everyone was with us as there was another group swimming next to us. It was darker in that area, so you could see the bioluminescence better. It was like seeing fireflies underwater. I've never seen anything like that before and thought it was amazing (so did my 16 year old daughter). My 13 year old was too afraid to get in the water and remained in the boat while we swam and looked at the glowing plankton (about 20 minutes). If you are expecting it to be as brightly lit as say, the movie Avatar, remember this is nature and its not there to perform for you. I think your enjoyment depends on the time of year/month and your expectations. There was a ladder that you could use to get back on the boat. Again, easy for an able bodied adult or large child. Afterwards, we rode back to Mismaloya in the boat, took a quick freshwater shower and headed back to downtown Puerto Vallarta. My family had an absolute blast. This was, by far, my favorite activity while we were in Puerto Vallarta.

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

Jenni_K, Jul 2026

Happy Florida Family

**What an incredible experience!** It had been years since we had gone zip lining, and this was absolutely the perfect place to do it! Finding the office after getting off our cruise ship was a little confusing, but the friendly locals helped point us in the right direction. From the moment we arrived, the entire team was welcoming, communicative, and incredibly kind. We boarded the bus and headed up into the jungle, where the scenery alone was worth the trip. After a thorough safety briefing, the adventure began! There was quite a bit of hiking up through the jungle and above the treetops before each exhilarating ride down. Every view was breathtaking, and each zip line was better than the last. The course featured **8 amazing zip lines**, and the entire experience was exciting, well-organized, and felt very safe. Afterward, we enjoyed the tequila tasting and ordered fresh chips and salsa, which were delicious and the perfect way to end the adventure. I highly recommend this company to anyone visiting the area. Their professionalism, organization, and friendly staff made this an unforgettable experience. We would absolutely book with them again!

ATV and RZR Jorullo Bridge Experience in Puerto Vallarta

Jensine_M, Jul 2026

A must-do in Puerto Vallarta

My husband and I had an incredible time on the RZR adventure! Our tour guides, Moses, Rafael, and Vanessa, were friendly, professional, and made the entire experience so much fun.

Thank you, Moses, Rafael, and Vanessa, for an amazing experience! We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure.

An unforgettable Marietas Islands Adventure!

My husband and I took the Marietas Islands tour, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! We couldn’t believe how beautiful the islands were. Visiting the Hidden Beach and seeing the crystal-clear turquoise waters made this tour incredibly special. Our tour guides were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We really appreciated everything they shared about the islands and their efforts to make sure everyone had a wonderful experience. Thank you for such an amazing adventure! We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

Private ATV tour with waterfall and Tequila tasting

Eden_P, Jun 2026

Great experience! Sergio...

Great experience! Sergio was an amazing guide who took care of us throughout the ATV ride. It was just under 2 hours of ATV riding and then about 20 minutes at the tequila tasting and another 40 minutes of stop at the restaurant for food and refreshments, where you also have the option to take a quick swim. Thank you Sergio!

ATV Tour Rio Cuale Sierra Madre Mountains and tequila tasting

Daniel_A, Apr 2026

Fun & Compltely Worth It!

We absolutely loved our time spent riding ATVs with Angel. He was a great guide who took us along a fun route which led us along city streets, and eventually into the jungle and the mountains. We stopped and did a tequila tasting, and had lunch at a delicious restaurant with the option for a refreshing swim in a natural watering hole. It was pretty easy to get the hang of driving the ATV too which was an initial concern of mine. Our ride was the perfect length, definitely felt like we got our money’s worth. Tip, the fewer bags and items you bring the better as there isnt really much room to store things on the ATV. Lastly, bring sunscreen, you’ll be in the sun a lot and will need to reapply.

Cirque du Soleil LUDÕ — Vallarta

Shawn_C, Mar 2026

Amazing show

The show was fantastic. Highly recommend. I was really surprised and disappointed that we booked 7 tickets as a group and then when we showed up they were in two distant groups of 4 and 3. Fortunately the people at the event helped us- but it makes me question whether I would book through Viator ever again.
