Super friendly staff. Quality of food and drinks are perfect for this style of excursion. Beautiful views with whale sightings when in season. Snorkeling an chilling with views of the rainforest are fun. Always meeting fun people on the boat. Yelapa although a small little town just fun to see and the waterfall for pictures or another quick dip. Highly recommend. Lastly, it doesnt take all day. Leave early and typically make it…”

Speedboat to Boca de Tomatlan, then 4WD, mule, zip lines, waterfall rappel, and waterslides for serious Puerto Vallarta jungle adrenaline.

“By far the best experience of its kind. There were one thing after another that surprised us. Though I have to say we didn’t look at any brochures to know exactly what to expect. Well run org and guidance. Exceeded our expectations (and we are well traveled). I recommend it for families, couples of singles alike. Great value for the money! The only thing is that no photos allowed and they try to sell their pro shots for a handsome amount. We are going home the experience in our mind to hold onto.”

7.Rhythms of the night, Sunset Cruise, Candlelit Dinner & Alma Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,667 reviews · 5 hours (approx.)

Sunset cruise from Puerto Vallarta to Las Caletas for a candlelit buffet and the Rhythms of the Night show at a pyramid amphitheater.

“You must climb a very steep, rocky staircase to get to the dining area. If you are older and have balance issues or poor night vision, this can be a challenge. The walkways are dimly lit by only votive candles, so the rocky/uneven pathway isn't very visible. They ran out of some of the food (no shrimp pieces left in the shrimp/vegetable dish) and a very limited selection of desserts were left. The show was very good, but because of the aforementioned issues, we will not be returning.”

14.Private ATV tour with waterfall and Tequila tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 892 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $95

Private Dirty Monkey ATV tour in Puerto Vallarta through Sierra Madre trails, waterfall swim, and tequila tasting with tortilla making.

“While the people were nice, one of the reasons for booking this atv rode versus the others were the waterfall and unfortunately, we did not see any water fall and no stops for photo ops. It was a standard ride to a tequila tasting and tortilla making and a stop at an expensive restaurant.”

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

/ August 12, 2026

15.Puerto Vallarta’s Best Canopy Zipline + Jorullo Bridge walk!

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 817 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $58

Puerto Vallarta canopy zipline with tequila tasting and a Jorullo Bridge walk. 8 zip lines, rainforest views, about 5 hours.

“It was great! I Wish I would have chosen the package with more lines. I’m all about a photo. They didn’t take one of me on the bridge. That is the whole reason I did it. There were photos of the bridge in reviews. So make sure you tell them you want one on the bridge. He said “oh well he forgot, he is late” he would go first then take pics of us on the lines.”
