Some of the more popular activities in Puerto Vallarta include:

Canopy Tours

The most exciting addition to the Vallarta recreational scene in years. This unique tour gives visitors a bird’s eye view of the life found in the jungle canopy.

Horseback Riding

Casual riders can rent horses along the beach, taking in the beautiful scenery or catching a gorgeous sunset. For the more serious rider, enjoy a jungle tour. Begin the ride riverside and enjoy the beautiful subtropical vegetation and majestic views of Vallarta. Bring your swimsuit and take a dip in the crystal waters of the river!

Swim with the Dolphins

This is one of the greatest experiences that Puerto Vallarta has to offer. With only 12 people per session, get up close and personal with our personable, playful friends.

ATV and Dunebuggies

While driving into the hills of Mexico to explore typical local villages, learn about traditional cultures and customs. Be prepared to get dirty!

Fishing

Best in the summer and fall, but Sail, Dorado, and Sierra are in season year-round. The best fishing is usually off Isla Corbetena, about 30 miles off shore, so it pays to take a fast boat!
