Overview

Tired of the tourist beaches? This is the ultimate adventure for the explorer. Your day begins with a scenic local drive to Boca de Tomatlan, the start of a guided hike of 1 hour and 40 minutes through the lush coastal jungle.

Discover a sequence of six unspoilt and hidden beaches (including magical Playa Colomitos and Madagascar). In Colomitos, you will enjoy a snorkel in crystal clear waters and take unique photos. The adventure includes the opportunity to jump into the sea from a giant rock and sample fresh local fruit.

The great end is Playa Las Ánimas, where you will have time to relax, swim and enjoy (optional purchase) the best fresh seafood in the region. Return to Boca de Tomatlan aboard an exciting water taxi. The perfect combination of exercise, exploration and hidden paradise!

What To Expect

Discover the most authentic side of Puerto Vallarta in an adventure that combines local culture, rainforest and dream beaches. This is not just a hike; it is a total dive into the coastal landscape of Jalisco.

We will meet in the Romantic Zone to board local transport (truck) to Boca de Tomatlan. This 25-minute drive along the coastal road will allow you to travel like a real local, enjoying spectacular views of the cliffs and the sea before you start hiking.

Once in the picturesque fishing village, we will enter the jungle trail. We will walk under the shade of tropical trees, crossing suspension bridges and discovering hidden coves. We will visit Playa Colomitos (the smallest) and other gems such as Playa Madagascar, where the turquoise water is perfect for a dip.

After relaxing and enjoying Playa Las Ánimas, you will not have to walk back. We will conclude our experience with an exciting Water Taxi (boat) trip back to Boca de Tomatlan. It is the perfect closure: rest your legs while admiring from the sea the whole route you have just travelled on foot.
