It was an unforgettable experience that I've checked off my bucket list. As someone who's absolutely terrified of heights--so much that I close my eyes every time--we tackled this thrilling adventure head-on! Despite my fear, I had a blast and can't wait to do it all over again. Tommie, on the other hand, was a total daredevil! He embraced every moment with his eyes wide open and a huge, radiant smile in every photo. This experience is unlike any other, and it's one you'll treasure forever. Whether you're sharing it with your best friend, your fiancé, or family, I can assure you that you'll all have an absolute blast! The price was super affordable, and the trips are tailored to fit your needs, which is so appreciated. Your admission includes an exhilarating nine ziplines weaving through the lush jungle in the stunning hills of Puerto Vallarta. Plus, they throw in free tequila tasting! I don't drink, but Tommie, a casual drinker, had a great time sampling about six or seven different varieties, and they were incredibly generous with the tastings. They even sell the tequilas right there! The guides--Jose, Jorge, Brian, and Efrain (the photographer)--are true experts who genuinely care about your safety and go above and beyond to make sure you have an amazing time.

We had a great time ziplining for our friend's bachelor party with the guides at Nogalito Ecopark!…read moreThey were all personable, funny, encouraging, and patient. Heads up - they will mess with you. Expect them to shake the lines! Lol. The ziplining tour included a ride up the mountain, brief instruction, a restroom and restaurant stop, 9 courses of lines, and a good hike, totaling about 3.5 hours. It was worth the cost, and the experience was very pleasant, despite my fear of heights. I also appreciated the purified water bubbler and rest area at some of the stops, as it allowed us to catch our breath and hydrate. The optional photo package and cost of lunch at the end was kind of pricey though (photos: Mex $1150, lunch for 5: Mex $2553) but you are not allowed to bring your phone, so it's the only option if you want photos. I think the only improvement would be more communication about where and when to look at the camera. A lot of my shots caught me facing the other way, which was kind of a waste, having paid so much for pictures, and I feel like that could have been easily corrected with some instruction.

We took a boat to a small town and then a truck up to Los Veranos, where we were greeted by…read moreenthusiastic and friendly staff. My husband and child went zip lining while I enjoyed a couple of margaritas (best I had in PV) and read in the restaurant. The food was delicious, my daughter loved playing in the river, and we got to hold a toucan, a lemur, and a marmoset. Overall, a fantastic experience at a reasonable price! Something to be aware of--the seats on the boat aren't very comfortable and my back and hips hurt a lot by the time we were halfway across the bay. Taking the truck might be better for people who need a backrest and leg room.

Our guide told us "go order your food, then go enjoy your photos with the animals while you wait for your food" this was smart advice. I am not one that is a huge fan of animals, but I will say that the staff was very friendly and really was patient with us and the animals. The food was amazing! It may be a little pricer than other areas, but you are paying for the experience with the animals too. There is no cell reception at this location, and there are signs to swim at your own risk in the water below the restaurant. I really wish I could have done a canopy tour that included the zip lining as it looked awesome from afar! But I was still happy to settle for eating sat the restaurant and interacting with the animals. Pro tip: if you're American and paying with a credit card with no foreign transaction fees, be sure to have them charge you in pesos to your card. You'll thank me later

This was such a fun activity during our cruise port call in Puerto Vallarta. In December we took a…read moreMexican cruise to celebrate my 70th birthday and this was our favorite activity off the ship. I'm a little late posting this review!! I appreciated having the crew explain how to operate the ATV, safety advice, and how they followed along with the riders making sure we were all OK and taking photos & videos. The ATVs were well-maintained and in good working order. We had no breakdowns or operational issues among our tour group. We enjoyed the views and the stops along the way where we got to try making tortillas, and having a snack by the cool creek. We also stopped for a tequila tasting, which was informative and fun. The tour started at the Estigo facility in town and we were escorted out of town by the Estigo guides. It's a bit bumpy riding in town on cobblestone roads, but as soon as we were out of town it was smooth riding. We did a morning tour, so I struggled with sunlight in my eyes, which proved to be a bit concerning when rounding corners as we headed up the hills leaving town. I admit to white-knuckling the early part of the ride. Once we were in the foothills, I was able to relax and enjoy the surroundings. I booked this tour on my own through the Estigo website, which made it a much better value than one of the cruise ship excursions. We also had a smaller group and just took a cab from the cruise port to Estigo's faculty. I definitely recommend Estigo if you are looking for a fun activity when visiting Puerto Vallarta!

This tour was WONDERFUL!! Our guide, Agustina, spent time up front with us making sure we were…read morecomfortable with how to operate the ATVs safely and with her hand signals. We were provided with neck gaiters, goggles and helmets. This was a private tour, so just two of us and our guide and a photographer/videographer. (NOTE - make sure you take some photos of your own along the way). So much better than a slow dusty caravan of the group tours. Then, off we went! The first bit of the ride is through city streets to get to the road up the mountain. The cobblestones of PVR gave way to dirt roads and some paved areas at smaller towns along the way. After an hour or so, we stopped at a small bar/restaurant and enjoyed a beverage by a waterfall. We had a great conversation with Agustina about traveling. The road up the mountains has some holes and some puddles so you have to pay attention, and we occasionally encountered some traffic (mostly other ATV tours or buses) and a bull, a donkey, a cat, and several dogs. The speed bumps in the residential areas can sneak up on you, too! The views of the mountains are beautiful and you spend a lot of time running along the Cuale River. We always felt safe and Augustina was a fabulous leader!! When we returned to the office, the videographer had compiled our video and photos to review on the computer. The price was a bit silly $1500 pesos ($100US) for either the photos or the video, $2000 pesos for both. So, we passed on that. We have already recommended the tour to fellow travelers and would even take the same tour again ourselves. Highly recommend!!

It put first timers like us at ease. We first traveled through town and small communities. We made our first stop at a restaurant alongside the water to jump in and have margaritas!

I would 100% recommend this tour. Thank you Sergio !

The entire xtreme jaguar crew was amazing. The ATV are new and automatic, so driving them was a blast! The route was really nice, we were able to take pictures high in the mountains.

When we got to 'el mirador' I did not feel well due to the heat but Hugo and his staff were very helpful in helping me feel better by providing me comfort and water. It was a great experience and recommend anyone to go! It was a reall off road experience.

Probably one of the best if not the actual best cruise excursion my wife and I have taken since we…read morestarted being "cruise people". First, value. We took a beautiful boat ride to a secluded location, had wonderful food, and absolutely all the drinks you could possibly want. All for a very reasonable price, better than anything our cruise line offered. The people were all awesome. They all wore shirts that said "I my job!" And it felt like they actually did. It was like a bunch of friends invited you to a really awesome party. The place we stopped at had it all. Beautiful pool. Large hot tub. Great snorkeling. Paddle boards if you wanted. A great hike to a lovely waterfall. And if you just wanted to soak up the sun, they had really comfy loungers. On the way back, we were all feeling great and most of us started dancing. We all probably looked silly but were having way too much fun too care. Next time in Puerto Vallarta we are absolutely booking these folks again. Thank you for an amazing time for both my wife and me. Chico Locca is the best.

The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming from the start. Fair warning: the drinks start flowing around 9am, so pace yourself and bring lots of sunscreen -- the sun + cocktails add up quickly. The booze selection is pretty generic, but plentiful, and the snacks along the way are appreciated. The fajita lunch was solid and hit the spot after a morning on the water. Shoutout to Ricky Ricardo, truly the hostess with the mostest -- high energy, fun, and kept the vibe going all day. Luis was also fantastic, constantly checking in and somehow remembering everyone's names, which made the experience feel very personal and welcoming. They even slowed the boat down so we could watch whales, which was a highlight, and having a photographer on board was a nice touch to capture the day. The music on the ride home was a little outdated, but honestly... it just turned into a dance party anyway -- especially once the tequila shots started making the rounds. All in all, a great excursion with a fun crowd, attentive staff, and memorable moments. Easy 4 stars and a solid choice if you're looking for a lively day trip while in Puerto Vallarta.

(One tip: if you're staying in Sayulita... listen when Roberta recommend getting cash ahead on the way to Sayulita! ATMs in town are often out of cash.) And while I can't remember his name, the guy who got us set up for our trip was also super helpful as was Oscar our driver. The trip itself was awesome! Palma & Edgar were a top-notch team. Palma, our guide, had so much knowledge and a real joy in sharing it. He also really knows how to connect with people, their individual needs, and help make the experience special. And because of this we saw so many different kinds of fish, birds, crabs, whales... and learned about the National Park, the area, etc. I'll have his joy-filled "Look, look... Mira, mira..." in my head for awhile as I explore the world, and that's a good thing. He guided us through Hidden Beach and it's caves and took pictures for us so we could just enjoy. On the ride back Edgar, our awesome captain, and Palma were set on finding whales, and we did! And Palma went around and filmed with everyone's cameras so that we could be in the moment and enjoy all the while keeping his energy and attention on the group experience. We saw the bigger boats out there, with water slides and such, and we were so glad to have this more intimate tour. And we met some great people on our small tour, so having beers and tacos afterward together (set up by the tour) was a great touch.
