Review of Puerto Vallarta’s six-hour rainforest adventure with speedboat, mule ride, ziplines, waterfall rappelling, and water slides.

“If your looking for an exciting, adventurous day, this is the tour. From boat, the 4x4 to donkey, to zip line, waterslides, and rapelling. The guides were amazing. Shout out to Rafa, May😍, Louis, Josh, and Uli(chaparito). They kept us safe and had made sure we had a good time. I'll be back.”

Explore Los Arcos by boat, swim among colorful fish, enter sea caves, and visit Mismaloya on a budget-friendly 3.5-hour tour from Puerto Vallarta.

“The views were phenomenal. But, communication on site lacking. We showed our ticket to tour guide and yes in the right place. We left at 9:30, our booking time. We were supposed to be on the following bus. Didn’t know the shuttle was a public standup bus for 20 min ride. We were called by your company after the earlier tour guide told them we went early. I was reprimanded for not being I. The eight bus. And they waited for us. An international call to get scolded. The boat in ad doesn’t look like the ponga we were in. If you are older with mobility limitation, not for you.…”
