Attractions in Puerto Vallarta, México
Swimming with Dolphins
Swim with dolphins in a 90-minute experience at the Nuevo Vallarta Dolphin Center. There is an orientation and informational session first and then into the water with the dolphins! For non-swimmers there is a platform to stand on in shallow water that the dolphins come up to so you may touch them.
No cameras are allowed inside; they do, however, take images for you which are available for purchase afterwards (on CD). Keep in mind, they charge a premium for these pictures!
Zip-lining Over the Predator Set
If you're up for an adventure, try zip-lining over the Mismaloya river. It's an all-day event, starting with a bus ride to the site in the mountains, an orientation, and then a hair-raising 12 zip-lines, zagging back and forth over the Predator set, with the longest zip-line reaching a ¼ mile in length!

Whale Watching
Humpback whales return to Banderas Bay every winter to mate and to give birth. Boats are available for day trips out in the bay to see them – inquire at the pier – but many times they can be seen breaching from the beach right in front of the condo.
Fishing Trips
Try your hand at deep sea fishing – you could catch marlin/sailfish/swordfish, dorado and bonita tuna – in half-day or all-day trips. The best place to line these up is at the Marina, just south of the airport.
Central Market
Located downtown on the north side of the river on Insurgentes and Rodriguez. Although products here may be not the best quality items, it's a fun place to see and shop. You can find just about anything while wandering the warren of aisles.
Parasailing/Banana Boating/Jet Skis
Get an aerial view of the Bay of Banderas and PV from a parasail harness; take a ride on a banana boat along the coast or rent a jet ski to ride the waves. All can be rented from the beach in front of the condo.
Snorkeling/Scuba Diving
Book at the Marina or right at the pier. Chico's Dive Shop is located in various places around town. Most popular snorkeling and scuba diving attraction is Los Arcos, where colorful fish abound.
Horseback Riding
Ride horses along the River Cuale through the jungle. Trips available in one- to four-hour increments. Book your tour or learn more information at the booth across the street from the condo.
To ride horses along the beach, you'll need to travel outside of Puerto Vallarta, since it's not available in the town proper.
Marigalante Pirates of the Bay
Sunset dinner cruise, entertained by mariachis and a dinner show, culminating in fireworks. You can also watch the pirate ship 'sail' around the bay from the Malecón.
