    Vallarta Adventures did everything right for the Rhythms of the Night event! From watching dolphins being trained while waiting, to the fun boat ride complete with adult beverages, to the buffet dinner to the final event of the show-excellent! Everyone was so nice and organized and the food was quite good. The show itself was magnificent from costumes to lighting to the singers and musicians. Highly recommend!

    Ritmo de la Noche / Rhythm of the Night was AWESOME! We would absolutely do this tour again. The boat ride was very nice - fun music and free drinks (margs, rum punch, beer). The island itself is lovely. They must spray for bugs because there were none! The dinner was yummy and the show was outstanding. It was a good as any other Cirque du Soleil show. Very impressive talents. The boat crew were awesome! And photographers throughout the entire experience. Say YES to all the photo ops because the photo package is the same price whether you have 5 photos or 50!! We highly recommend this tour!

    Had such an amazing birthday seeing rhythms of the night show! We sailed for an hour to get the island where the show is presented. We took pictures and enjoyed the sunset with some dolphin watching. When we arrived at the Island it was soo beautiful. We watched the show it was an amazing show. After the show we ate traditional Mexican food. Dinner was delicious. Then we boarded back to our boat. Then the night entertainment started. Really fun, great show. Had an amazing time. Customer service was phenomenal. Big shout out to party boat #4. Will highly recommend this show!

    Vallarta Adventures does a lot of tours, but my comment is on the Rhythm of the Nights Show. We have been before and although it seems pricey it is well worth the cost. You take a one hour boat ride out to their "island" (it isn't really an island) where you disembark. It is like a scene from Survivor. There are tiki torches and candles everywhere, literally hundreds, maybe thousands. The dinner was surprisingly good with complimentary beer and wine, there is liquor on the boat too, unlimited. The show would be a hit in Vegas. There are numerous "Cirque" type acts. The show was amazing. The only complaint I have is you sit on narrow benches with no back rest. After a long show our backs really hurt. Bottom line, if you get a chance be sure and go to this show, you won't regret it.

    We booked this excursion two months before our trip and we had to do it over the phone as we wanted to do the Isla Marietas (hidden beach) excursion as well as the dolphin/sea lion extreme encounter in one day and it was not offered as a package online. HIDDEN BEACH: If you read the FAQ's prior to visiting the hidden beach, it says that you cannot wear sunscreen due to the coral reefs. However, you can in fact put on sunscreen prior to the boat departing the dock, as it allows time for the chemicals to dissolve before your dive. You just cannot apply the sunscreen when you get there. We did not discover until we were almost to the hidden beach that they have to park the boat a distance away from the entrance and that it can take up to 10 minutes to swim from the boat to the cave. It is required that everyone wear a life vest when in the water, so it was not that bad. Our guide, Enrique was very clear in his instructions and also confirming that everyone could swim. Of course, we ended up with a struggler and sadly, it caused Enrique to swim with him back to the boat. If you have a Go-Pro, I would suggest that you take it or you will have to rely on their photographer for your photos. I do not suggest taking your cell phone even if you have "waterproof" pouch. After our time at the hidden beach which was awesome, we went to the next spot to snorkel. The snorkeling sucked as the water was choppy and brown with no colorful fish or coral reef in sight, so no one stayed in the water longer than 15 minutes as it was boring. We were there in February during whale watching season (December-March), and there were quite a few whales in the ocean. Although we did not pay for the whale watching excursion, Enrique was freaking awesome and was able to take a circuitous route that put us in their path which made up for the dismal snorkeling. They say that they provide a light snack, but you will need to eat breakfast before you arrive and bring your own snacks and water. Only after the snorkeling adventure were we given a banana, a granola bar and a cup of water and this was about 2 1/2-3 hours into the excursion. EXTREME DOLPHIN/SEA LION ENCOUNTER: We had a 2 hour break before we met Davide and got to play with a sweet sea lion named Jenny. Not only was it a really cool experience, but it was also very educational. While that was fun, swimming with the dolphins was the BEST part of our day at Vallarta Adventures. You want to do the extreme encounter because you get to swim underwater while holding onto the dolphins! Alphonso and Mags were the guides for our encounter with Luna and Yashu and they were awesome! Thank you all for a memorable experience!

    We booked a tour to Playa Las Caletas, and it is an absolute MUST! 12/10 recommend You take a boat from a cruise port hub (we were able to park in the main lot for free). I was a little nervous about becoming seasick, but thankfully that wasn't the case. LOGISTICS: Everything from start to finish was smooth and service was top notch. It's an incredible value, especially considering all the good food and alcohol available. The staff are super entertaining with their dance shows on the way to and from Las Caletas. It really felt like a party! LAS CALETAS: Upon the beach, there are a variety of activities: snorkeling, animal encounters, mezcal tasting, zip lining, cooking classes, etc. Even though we are a family with one infant and one toddler, we still were able to enjoy the day even if some activities were off limits for us. In particular, we had a blast with the animals at the animal encounters: my daughter had a hawk sit on her shoulder and my husband had a monkey do the same to him. There were also sea lions and sting rays and flamingos to admire from a distance. Moreover, mezcal tasting was memorable! My only semi complaint is that the guide was borderline aggressive with making everyone finish all the mezcal. Yes, it's a tasting, but we didn't know how much hard liquor we were getting upfront and it should be fine to TASTE and blindly agree not gulp quite a bit of heavy alcohol (I've wine tasted a few times, and I definitely got a greater volume of mezcal during this tasting than I got volume of wine when wine tasting). TLDR: All in all, but Las Caletas tour is an absolute must in PV. We would have done this two days in a row if we knew how high quality of an experience this was, but will be back for sure (and we'd also like to see Yelapa while we're at it)!

    Now THIS is an Adventure!!!!

    If you are a thrill seeker look no further. This place would be hard to top. I've done zip lines in a few different locations on this big planet and this is by far my favorite. I have now done this Adventure two times. My guids were ABSOLUTELY amazing and I never felt a second of doubt that they had my safety as their highest priority... Good thing considering the HEIGHT of these Zips!! From the minute they picked me up, to dropping me off. Do not miss this LIFE changer!! The only drawback is the price of the photos. I'd like him to be a little more in the reasonable park of 75$ but it's more like $175

    Staff was great! They not only kept us safe and on time but they were so entertaining!! The laughs and drinks were flowing! The food was delicious! The adventures were fun!! We also got to see whales, dolphins and a beach dog! Highly recommend taking one of their tours while in Puerto Vallarta!

    An evening with Vallarta Adventures for their Rhythms of the Night experience is nothing short of…read moreextraordinary--a seamless fusion of culture, nature, cuisine, and world-class performance that feels both transportive and deeply moving. The journey begins with a sunset cruise across the breathtaking Bay of Banderas, where the sky transforms into hues of gold and amber, and the ocean breeze sets an immediate sense of calm and anticipation. As the sun dips below the horizon, you're carried toward a secluded paradise accessible only by boat--an untouched stretch of coastline where the evening's magic quietly awaits. Upon arrival, the experience shifts into something almost ceremonial. Guests are welcomed with warmth and intention, guided along torch-lit pathways that wind through lush jungle surroundings. The soft glow of candles, the rhythmic sounds of nature, and the gentle hospitality create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and sacred--a beautiful nod to the region's cultural roots and reverence for the land. Dinner is an experience in itself. Served in a stunning open-air, candlelit setting beneath the stars, the buffet is nothing short of exquisite. From fresh, vibrant salads and artisan breads to decadent desserts and perfectly prepared steak, every element is thoughtfully curated and beautifully executed. The flavors are rich yet balanced, highlighting local ingredients and culinary tradition while maintaining an elevated, refined presentation. And then--the performance begins. ALMA, the heart of Rhythms of the Night, is a masterpiece of storytelling and artistry. Created by Mukhtar Mukhtar with breathtaking scenography by Eugenio Caballero, the show unfolds as a spiritual journey inspired by the soul of the rainforest. Through a mesmerizing blend of acrobatics, contemporary and traditional dance, live music, and mythological narrative, the story channels the energy of the land--guided by the mystical figure of the Guardian of the Rainforest. Every movement feels intentional, every visual element immersive. The performers are exceptional, delivering a level of precision and emotion that captivates from beginning to end. The staging--set against the jungle and illuminated by firelight and subtle theatrical effects--creates a dreamlike atmosphere where the boundaries between nature and performance dissolve. It's not just a show; it's a deeply sensory and emotional experience that evokes wonder, reflection, and awe. After the final act, the evening gently transitions into a more relaxed celebration. Guests have time to take in the ambiance before boarding the boat once more, where the return journey becomes its own joyful finale--complete with music, dancing, and a nightcap under the stars as the coastline of Puerto Vallarta slowly reappears in the distance. From the welcoming ceremony to the final moments on the water, every detail is intentional and beautifully orchestrated. Rhythms of the Night is more than an excursion--it's a cultural and artistic immersion that lingers with you long after the night ends. For anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta, this is an absolute must-do experience that speaks to the soul as much as it delights the senses.

Horseback riding across a "beach" (hardly a beach but ok). The best crew. Honestly the crews with each excursion were great. Really personable, entertaining, and upbeat.

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.

The breakfast on the way there was an assortment of fruit and mini muffins. The lunch was fajitas which we really enjoyed. I loved that everyone had to wear a life jacket for the first 10 minutes of the ride as I was initially nervous about the ride. After the 10 minutes are up, we had the option of continuing to wear the life jacket or take it off. All the instructions they gave were in both English and Spanish. One of the highlights on the way there was the whale watching. We saw a couple of them and it was so cool because it's the very end of the season, so we won't be seeing them again for a few months. Once we got the the island, we had some really good chips and guacamole. There were a few different excursion options for an additional cost. such as hiking to the waterfall, going horseback riding, or driving ATVs. Not sure what the cost for those were. We enjoyed snorkeling in the ocean and swimming in the shallow pool with a bar attached for easy access. I highly recommend this tour. We definitely got our money's worth and more!

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.
