Puerto Vallarta Holiday Reviews

I had such a great time taking a tour with WIldlife Connection. I took a tour with Thalia out into the ocean to look for the dolphins. She was so kind and nice! Swimming with the wild dolphins is definitely better than anything you will experience at an amusement park. Since they were wild animals, we were advised not to touch them, but gettin within feet of these animals was incredible! Everyone should take the opportunity to do this!!

We had a really enjoyable time in Puerto Vallarta. Although we spent most of the time within the confines of our all inclusive hotel club, we did venture out a few times. The beach is pretty nice, and there are some really good bars, fantastic cocktails! Tequila is brilliant!

Great atmosphere and lots of things to do. PLenty of nightlife and a good range of bars and restaurants.

Slightly less commercial than Cancun, and we preferred the beach. Mexico is great though, the Mexican food is fantastic and they make lovely cocktails!!!

The marina has great shops and restaurants and you can easily hop a cab into downtown PV. We did the Las Caletas tour one evening, and headed up to Bucerias one other day. Lots of golf and spa time.I booked several items with Vallarta Discovery, an airport transportation and a zip (canopy?) line tour. The checkout process was quick and easy and took under a minute. I was contactted shortly after by one of their representatives, with my tickets through my email.

When we arrived in Puerto Vallarta the airport transportation guide was waiting for us and we were promptly taken to our hotel. The next day we partook on a zip line tour. It was fun, exhilerating, and most importantly I felt safe riding the zip lines and letting my kids ride. The tour guides were friendly, and entertaining.

I highly recommend booking with Vallarta Discovery. The ease of the whole process was just great. I will be booking with this company for your trip next year.

This was my first trip outside Europe. I absolutely loved Mexico, the food was amazing, and the beach was great. We did get a couple of storms, but it is to be expected and just added to the fun!

Loved Puerta vallarta, everyone very friendly, loads of things to do from sailing to going in to the Sierra Madres mountains and zip lining. If you want to do tours etc, book online before you go and book with Vallarta Adventure, brilliant company.

This was our second trip to Puerto Vallarta and we were recommended to Vallarta Discovery by friends who had used them last year. Thank God for that because this company does it all and lives up to the best customer service they boast! The people that we spoke to on the phone spent at least 15 minutes answering all of our questions - perfect English and very friendly. We reserved our transportation - which offered the best prices when compared to other online companies and we also went on the "exclusive" Rhino Jungle Tour. We had a blast driving our Rhino through the jungle trails, rivers and mountains. We also booked the private chauffeured service for 5 hours and visited El Eden, Mismaloya, Chinos Paradise, tequila tasting, the zoo and Pitillal. The guide was excellent! He kept us away from all of the touristy traps and we shopped for souvenirs in Pitillal, just an absolute great job guys! Can't wait to come back again soon.

April 2009. There were six of us, 3 adults, 3 kids 13yrs and under. We were a bit nervious about the safety on the zip lines but once we were there and went through the safety briefing all our fears were gone. We were able to then relax and had a wonderful time flying across the ravine. The guides did a wonderful job on the video and included all the guests as you flew threw the air on the lines. We were not as rushed as I thought we could be and were able to enjoy each line. There was a bit of walking up the trails between lines and we were pleasantly surprised that they had water at certain spots. They really think of everything to make your experience the best it can be. We would definately do it again.

We had a great time on the Outdoor Adventure - cool boat ride, Unimog up and down the mountain, urging the mules on, hiking, zip lining into icy pools, rappelling beside waterfalls...it was fantastic! Only one of us had ever done anything like this before, but everyone loved it! The guides were helpful, funny, experienced, and above all, safety was number one: good equipment, double zip lines, belays when rappelling, and helpful advice. We even got close to some whales on the boat trip back! Thanks Ponch, Rorro, and the other guys for an amazing time

Puerto Vallarta was 2 bus rides from our hotel which took about 50 mins, this cost us £1.20 each which was not to much of a problem, otherwise a taxi would cost you about 200 pesos. The town itself was quaint although you have to be prepared to be enticed into every shop available.

Nuervo Vallarta is the purpose-built hotel zone so you need to travel into Puerto Vallarta to sight-see. It is worth it though even though it is very americanised.

For a better experience, walt for about a hour north on the beach to the next village. The beach is stunning and empty and the bars and markets very good.

not alot to do here unless you are into outdoor pursuits. we went on 2 trips, rhythms of the night and sea safari the first one was a beautifull setting although the show itself only lasted about 20 mins, you couldnt really see what you were eating, and were limited to the amount of meat you could have. the second trip we really enjoyed, the boat crew were made for the job, real characters never a dull moment, we did give the snorkelling a go but the water was very mirky and we didnt see anything. the food was excellant and the journey home great fun. the riu is out on a limb realy nowhere to walk to.
