Review of Puerto Vallarta’s Rhythms of the Night, with sunset sailing, candlelit buffet, open bar, acrobatics, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“What an amazing experience!! If there is one big excursion that you want to do on your vacation, let it be this!! From the party boat ride in, to the sight of seeing the tiki torches as you pull into the dock! You get this warm, fuzzy feeling as you start to feel immersed in their environment!! It's like a maze of experiences as soon as you set foot on land. You'll head to your candlelit table by the ocean and be serenaded by musicians as you enjoy a nice buffet dinner! Then the show! The main attraction!! The MC was hilarious and kept us on our toes! The acrobats,…”

Review of Puerto Vallarta’s private ATV tour, with Sierra Madre trails, river stops, local food, tequila tasting, costs, and practical tips.

We were taken through the lush mountains, small, intimate towns, and to many different view points. It was truly something else. We stopped at natural hot springs, had the option for tequila tasting (but opted out). I will never forget this experience! It was so freeing and our guide was so nice. 100/100 recommend!”

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

Review of Puerto Vallarta’s 3-hour Dirty Monkey ATV tour, with Sierra Madre trails, waterfall swim, tequila tasting, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“Armando was an attentive guide. Dirty Monkey is an A+ adventure. A bathroom, free water and an after ride warm aromatherapy wash cloth were provided. It was overall a great experience. However, the photographer was aggressive in his sales pitch, way over priced ($200) and hounded us for tips. No groups bought his video/pictures. He was angry. Mi Abuelo restaurant was beautiful and had good food and drinks but also was very expensive at 17% exchange rate. Pay with credit card. $145 bill shocked us. It was the most expensive meal in PV. Shrimp $25. Three Tacos $15. Alcoholic drinks $14.50. Beautiful environment though. Tequila tasting was informative and great.…”

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

Review of Puerto Vallarta’s canopy zipline and Jorullo Bridge tour, with practical advice on hiking, transport, safety, value, photos, and timing.

“The overall experience was great, zipline staff were very professional and the lines were amazing. Only small issue we had was there was confusion for the transport back but it was resolved fairly quickly. I would definitely recommend this just not if your scared of heights cause the lines are WAY up there.”
