Best horseback experience
What an incredible experience! The horseback ride was absolutely amazing, and Ricardo, our guide, made it even more special. From riding through the river to exploring the beautiful mountain hills, every part of the adventure was unforgettable. Ricardo was exceptional. He took the time to share some of the history of the area with us and brought us to some truly majestic spots with breathtaking views. We were constantly amazed by the natural beauty surrounding us. The tour lasted about two hours, which was the perfect amount of time to really enjoy the scenery and the experience without ever feeling rushed. The price was very reasonable for everything that was included, and we felt it was an excellent value for the experience. The entire ride felt authentic, peaceful, and adventurous at the same time. The beautiful surroundings, combined with Ricardo's knowledge, friendliness, and attention to us, made the experience even better. Thank you, Ricardo, for making this such a memorable experience for us. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip, and we would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable horseback riding adventure!

Great Experience!
This horseback riding tour was one of the most relaxing experiences of our trip. The horses were calm, the scenery was beautiful, and everyone at the ranch made us feel welcome. It was the perfect way to escape the crowds and enjoy nature around Puerto Vallarta. I only wish the ride had lasted a little longer. I would definitely do it again!

Snorkeling in Marietas Islands and BBQ in Playa Majahuitas

Affordable, friendly & fun tour with memorable experiences
If you want to swim or snorkel in deep, blue crystal waters off of Marietas Islands and enjoy the magic of Majahuitas beach club with lunch in the same day, then book this tour. The price is affordable for an all day excursion (8am to 3:30pm). The tour guide, Felipe, and crew - Kevin, Francesco, Alex, and Fernando - were friendly, extremely attentive and knowledgeable, and fun. Our tour was in English and Spanish. The swimming at Marietas was great! Between the swimming/snorkeling at Marietas and lunch/beach time, they provided refreshments, including an open bar. The staff at Majahuitas also made a delicious lunch with cold drinks. On the boat ride back, Felipe and his crew surprised us with a show-lots of singing and dancing. There were lots of cold drinks and music on our return trip to the port. Overall, this was a fantastic way to experience Puerto Vallarta!

The tour was lots of fun, the crew was amazing very attentive, always checking in on each guest making sure we had what we needed. It was amazing to see all of them work together to provide us with an amazing experience. The only issue I had and almost caused us to miss the tour, they were unable to find our reservation even though I had my confirmation. I purchased my tour through visitor, the tour was with Vallarta Adventures. Not sure who the issue was with.

Exceptional Customer Service and Enjoyable Experiences
I had the pleasure of spending about 5 hours on the farm with Laura and Hector (The protector :). Each staff member was so attentive and helpful; the experience was like being with family. The time spent was particularly special for me because it mirrors, to a very large extent, my upbringing on a rural arm in Jamaica. The real beauty was in the ease and enjoyment of relating, learning and sharing with the staff. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending that, if you are in the area, this is a must-visit experience.Also, ask Laura about their coffee production village, and be sure to buy a large bag of coffee, processed the old-fashioned way. Cheers!!!

I loved the tour as I got to know the history of Puerto Vallarta. I also really enjoyed the experience in jewelry, where we were shown how silver is worked. The view at Las Mariposas was one of my favorite parts.Many thanks to Mary and Sergio for this great experience.

“Unforgettable Private Boat Adventure to Yelapa with Incredible Snorkeling”
What an amazing adventure we had on this private boat trip from Puerto Vallarta to Yelapa aboard the Leylanny! Victor, our captain and guide, truly went above and beyond—making sure we were comfortable, well taken care of, and fully immersed in the beauty of his hometown.The snorkeling was incredible. We saw so many varieties of marine life, including puffer fish, angelfish, eels, and countless other colorful fish I couldn’t even name. It felt like swimming in an aquarium.I highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting the area. It was absolutely worth the price and exceeded our expectations in every way. You won’t be disappointed!

Best of our only day to explore
We had the best time on this excursion, even though we started late in the day because our flight didn’t come in till late afternoon, our guide, Alexis, made sure that we got to see the botanical gardens (that I really wanted to see) and also that we made the most of our one day (we were here for a wedding and our trip was really laid out for us) where we got to explore Puerto Vallarta. Doing the private tour was honestly the best because we got to pack in so much to make that time so worth it.
