What are people saying about Puerto Vallarta

Sunset and Bioluminescence Boat Tour at Los Arcos Islands

Jennie_M, Nov 2026

Just book it!!

This experience was amazing and our tour guide Pablo had incredible energy! A very knowledgeable guide who kept the drinks flowing and music playing! You journey to the destination by enjoying some time on a boat to bird watch and take in the sunset before night falls and you can swim in the bioluminescence. It was such an amazing experience seeing the lights activate around your movement like tiny fireworks. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting PV! Bring a dry bag, a towel, and a change of clothes (if wanted).

Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours

Devin_E, Nov 2026

Erik Was amazing

Erik , our guide was amazing ! He was so knowledgeable about the history of puerto Vallarta and the food scene! He also did a great job explaining the differences in all of the salsas that are made and how each one is in terms of heat. Walking around with him was great because all of the places that we stopped and a lot of locals recognized him and gave him some love with a hand shake or a holler that made me and my wife feel like we were in good hands. Another thing of note was the last stop he talked a little bit about some of the Mexican culture and explained some of the festivities that the food from the tour is cooked at. The last thing that I thought was very powerful was that Erik payed homage to one of the tour guides that passed away and that to me was very nice as a gesture and I am very happy with our our experience went. Thank you Erik and thank you Vallarta Food Tours you made the last day of our trip amazing ! Side note : Our group that was experienced this was very nice and I hope all of those people have a great rest of their trips and great lives!

We had an absolutely...

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Las Caletas Tour in Puerto Vallarta!

Private ATV tour with waterfall and Tequila tasting

Verneta_A, Oct 2026

Awesome ATV experience!

Sergio was our guide and he was amazing. He was patient with us ( 1st time riding the ATV). We had tequila tasting and I helped make tortilla. The Ranco mi aubleo had good food (just don’t forget bug spray for here). The ride going through the mountains was great. I’m looking forward to my next time ATVing. Thanks again guys!

Cirque du Soleil LUDÕ — Vallarta

adrianacantu62, Oct 2026

Wear comfortable shoes

Excellent show. You only need to wear tennis shoes or comfortable sandals because the route (wonderfully sensory) before arriving at the venue is very long. And if you arrive early, they do not let you in until half an hour before the appointment. You dine deliciously. Each dish is a surprise work of art. 100% recommended

Shaded Hot Spring, Massage and Mex Grill in Puerto Vallarta

Trevor_G, Oct 2026

Must do!!

Wow! Definitely a must do in Puerto Vallarta. This experience blew us away. The ride up to the hot springs was fun & informative. The hot springs were beautiful and so peaceful! It was an amazing time to reconnect with nature and spend quality time together. The meal was amazing, fresh veggies & fruit with yummy grilled meat. AND that’s not it. A great massage with the calming waves in the background. I highly recommend this experience to anyone in PV! And the best tour guide! So fun and friendly, this excursion made our trip!

Puerto Vallarta Rhythms of the Night, Dinner Cruise and Alma Show

Leonard_J, Oct 2026

Alma was great, dinner fantastic, David our MC on boat 16 was best

The experience made for a great evening. Ticketing process, easy; seating on the catamaran, easy; booze available, too easy. The crew and music were good; Boat 16 with "David" the MC was super, super fun. The short jungle jaunt to the open-air outdoor theater was easy. The Alma show was incredible and highly entertaining, though we'd gone to Cirque du Soleil a couple of days earlier. The after-show dinner is worth the wait and has delicious food. In a romantic, candlelit, oceanfront jungle setting. The boat ride back to the port with David and his crew was a high point and an unexpected, pleasurable surprise because of their ????? (don't want to spoil the secret). The whole night was a runaway hit! Port fees and $20 per person access fees are extra. Take mosquito spray, a light jacket or umbrella just in case, and if you can afford it, buy the VIP or GOLD package. You won't regret it.

Puerto Vallarta Zipline, Rappel, Water Slide & Speedboat tour

andreagE5916FB, Oct 2026

Excellent family plan

Excellent experience, super fun and it is a great plan for the family, even if you go alone you will have a cool time because the crew is nice. Ramón, Tania, Piña, Piolín and the other guys are great. Thank you very much, I had a great day and I hope to have that adventure again soon.

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

Megan, Sep 2026

Fun party boat, snorkel lite!

Totally my bad for not taking the description literally. I expected this to be a snorkel heavy adventure. It is a booze cruise...but a well planned, fun one. I never would pick a booze cruise activity on purpose but it was a fun accident. There was only one brief snorkel time in the whole 5 hours. It was okay, not for experienced snorkelers or divers, more for people who want to try it out and have a fun morning on a boat. The tour guide had razzle dazzle and was very fun. The whole crew was very nice and polite. The lunch was fantastic, the drinks were excellent. I ain't never been on a yacht before, so that alone was fun and silly. You'll definitely have a good time!

ATV and RZR Jorullo Bridge Experience in Puerto Vallarta

Anabel_O, Aug 2026

The best ATV adventure!...

The best ATV adventure! The ATV tour was incredible and super fun from start to finish! The route was exciting, the views were beautiful, and the ATVs were in great condition. The entire guide team was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had the best time while always prioritizing our safety. It was one of the highlights of our trip. We would definitely do it again and highly recommend it!"

Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour

493quk, May 2026

The best staff

The attention from the staff is very good; they are always attentive to what you need. Alex is very good, Ricardo is a great guide, and overall the entire staff is excellent. The food is very tasty; Esmeralda's guacamole is a 10, and they welcome you with super fresh fruit. We visited several spots; the only downside is that you have little time and would like to stay longer.
