• Underwater
• On land
• On the beach
• In the mountains
• In the jungle
• And even in the city!

Here are just a few of Puerto Vallarta’s Tours and attractions.

Puerto Vallarta Canopy Tours

Canopy Tour is Puerto Vallarta's newest adventure activity.
Visitors glide from treetop to treetop. They get an up-close-and-personal view of a tropical rainforest canopy in Mexico and the trails far below it. Expert guides help visitors onto the special platforms. Then they move from one to another, using pulleys on horizontal traverse cables. The guides describe the surrounding tropical flora. They also offer assistance (and moral support) as visitors to Mexico rappel back down to the forest floor after their jungle adventure.

Puerto Vallarta Boat Tours

Puerto Vallarta offers a number of boat trips, including:

• Sunset cruises
• Snorkeling, swimming, and diving excursions

They generally travel one of two routes, to:

The Marietas Islands

These islands are a 30- to 45-minute boat ride off the northern shore of Banderas Bay, Mexico.

Yelapa, Las Animas, or QuimixtoIslands

These islands are along the southern shore.

At Quimixto and Yelapa visitors can:

• Take a half-hour hike to a jungle waterfall
• Rent a horse for a riding adventure

Boat rides to the southern beaches stop at:

Los Arcos Puerto Vallarta

This is an island rock formation south of Puerto Vallarta. Boats stop here for snorkeling adventures.

Visitors’ opinions of underwater Puerto Vallarta should not be based on the above. There are dozens of tour boats that dump quantities of snorkelers overboard at the same time each day. At these times, the fish know not to be there.

The islands are an excellent site for adventures in night diving.
