“One of the funnest, most memorable things I’ve ever done! Our guide, Rocco, was amazing - chill, knowledgable, and fun. We saw so many beautiful, interesting things in this little village be took us to. The hike itself is on a variety of terrain, and relatively short, but challenging. The waterfall swim was super-fun and unique, and then we went to a nearby beach and hung out, swam, and had food and drinks. Cannot recommend highly enough!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 80 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $45

Hike Puerto Vallarta’s jungle coast to six beaches, swim, snorkel, eat fresh seafood, and return by boat for $45.

“Great tour for those who are up for hiking and exploring beautiful beaches that are only accessible by boat or on foot. This was the only tour we took on this vacation as we were interested in discovering some pretty cool and remote beaches while being outdoors and hiking in an area new to us. Gerry was our guide, and was super upbeat, chatty, knowledgeable, and made sure to point out things we may have missed otherwise on the journey (such as guiding us over a boulder outcropping to catch amazing views and pointing out a massive amount of flora and fauna along the way).”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 25 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $95

Hike El Nogalito’s river, Fairy Portal, waterfall, and natural pond near Puerto Vallarta with lunch, transport, and Curiel as your guide.

“This hike was very challenging but so worth the effort. WE walked through the water most of the hike. It wasn’t very long but the rocks made the trek slow. But that was more reason to slow down and enjoy the hike more. Our guide had lots of knowledge and plants and wildlife in the area. This was a terrific experience!!”
