What are people saying about Puerto Vallarta

supershirin, Jun 2026

Insiders guide to Puerto Vallarta Eats

The experience was delish, filling, and very enjoyable. I enjoy walking food tours because of the opportunity to learn about a culture and town and local customs that you wouldn’t otherwise! Plus you get the inside on where locals dine, which are almost always the best spots, in areas of town you may not necessary venture to. Our tour guide Joanna was lovely. I traveled w my spouse and two teens- 13, and 16, and all enjoyed the tour and foods. Thank you!

Horseback Riding & Swim: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas

Michael_W, Jun 2026

10 out of 10 would ALWAYS recommend

Martin made the whole experience absolutely amazing. He took the time to explain the different plants and processes for each tequila. The tasting was fantastic. The horses love him and were so happy to follow him. We did a couple river crossings, but due to the rain the water was a little more rapid and dirty so we didn’t swim, but it didn’t hurt the experience at all. The hotel where the tasting and lunch were served was straight out of a movie. You’re surrounded by lush mountains on each side.. it’s beautiful, quiet, and the people who worked there were amazing as well. This is a trip I would do again and again. Highly recommend

Sunset Boat Tour & Bioluminescence Adventure at Los Arcos Islands

Victor_M, Jun 2026

The tour was a great way...

The tour was a great way to experience something unique in Puerto Vallarta. The bioluminescence was interesting to see, and the trip was well organized and easy to enjoy. Our guide, Bruno, did an excellent job throughout the evening—he was friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and informed. The small group size was a nice touch, and overall it was a worthwhile experience that I would recommend to others visiting the area.

Boat and Snorkel Tour to 5 Islands of Los Arcos

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!

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

Mega Catamarans ALL INCLUSIVE Remote Paradise Beach Adventure

Staci_P, May 2026

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.

Marietas Islands National Park: Full Day ALL INCLUSIVE Tour

jacqueline_c, May 2026

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!

Sunset and Bioluminescence Boat Tour at Los Arcos Islands

JOSE_L, Apr 2026

Magical experience

Awesome experience, 3 hours ride into the beautiful beaches of Puerto Vallarta, beautiful night view to the city and to watch the bioluminescence on a dark night full of stars. The guides are so fun and friendly, and if you love to swim on deep waters this is your chance to experience such of magical moment. Definitely recommend.

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.

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.

Half Day Private Sailing Cruise Puerto Vallarta with Snorkeling

Stephen_G, Mar 2026

Great sea day. Dolphins were a bonus.

We loved our day. Boat was a good size and well equipped. Captain and crew were extremely nice and very friendly. Stopped when we passed some dolphins swimming nearby who came up to swim by the boat... amazing! We stopped near a small beach for a swim....was beautiful. Lunch was really tasty. Overall, a fantastic trip. I will book again if I am back in Puerto Vallarta
