The charm of the Mexican Pacific
Puerto Vallarta, on Banderas Bay, blends golden beaches, jungle-covered mountains and the atmosphere of an authentic Mexican town. Its boardwalk, its Romantic Zone and its cuisine make it an unforgettable destination, and some of the best Pacific excursions depart from here. These are the tours you cannot miss.
Marietas Islands
This protected archipelago is famous for its Hidden Beach, a secret cove within a rock formation. Access is limited to protect the ecosystem, so it is best to book in advance. It is ideal for snorkeling and birdwatching.
Whale watching
From December to March, humpback whales come to Banderas Bay to breed. A boat tour lets you watch them breach and hear their song, an unforgettable experience for nature lovers.
Yelapa and the bay villages
Reachable only by sea, Yelapa and other hidden beaches offer waterfalls, local cuisine and a relaxed vibe away from the crowds. A boat ride across the bay is the best way to discover them.
Adventure in the Sierra Madre
Inland, the Sierra Madre jungle is perfect for ziplining, off-road vehicles and river tours. It is the ideal option if you want adrenaline and nature in a single day.
Tips for your excursions
- Book the Marietas Islands early due to limited capacity.
- Travel during whale season (Dec–Mar) if you want to see them.
- Bring biodegradable sunscreen and comfortable shoes.
