Puerto Vallarta Best Zipline Canopy + Tequila and Speed Boat Ride

1.Puerto Vallarta Best Zipline Canopy + Tequila and Speed Boat Ride

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,786 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $120Our pick

Ride by speedboat or land transport from Puerto Vallarta to Los Veranos Canopy Tour. Guides such as Pepe, Edgar, Chica, and Mane lead you across 19 jungle ziplines, including a twin-cable race, before tequila tasting, river swimming, kayaking, waterslides, and animal encounters. Expect steep steps, heat, and a five-hour outing.

“Great experience, all of the workers were friendly and knew what they were doing and the Ziplines were fun. My girlfriend and I felt safe the entire time. Be aware, however, that this experience involves a significant amount of hiking that can be really hard when it's hot and muggy. You have to hike uphill to get to the higher Ziplines, so you can then take them down. If you have a heart condition or bad knees, this experience may not be for you.”

“First of all, the staff was what made this experience so wonderful. They were all absolutely the best. The catamaran was beautiful, big and comfortable. The snorkeling was beautiful although very crowded but it is a very special place so that was no surprise. We had a great time on the island thanks to the guide’s recommendations to go to the north beach. The beach club was my least favorite part and I could have done without but we still had a great time. I would do this tour again and will recommend it to anyone who will be traveling to Cancun.”

Hosts such as Ricky Ricardo and DJ David keep the mood lively, while shaded seating offers a quieter escape.

“Chica Locca, the operator, delivered a great experience; DJ David was very playful and made the time on the boat fly by. Crew was the absolute definition of attentive. For example, one passenger tracked a bunch of sand onto the deck of the boat. When that passenger realized his mistake, he went to shake his shoes off over the side of the boat. As soon as he stood up, a member of the crew was there to mop up the mess. Literally right away. None of the crew was ever still, either cleaning the boat surfaces or serving passengers. The only down side is that I never got the massage…”

“Great job by all staff, they were very communicative & helpful! Spoke both Spanish and English fluently. and awesome locations. Good drinks, decent buffet, & a nice snorkeling experience. The only reason I chose to leave 4 stars is 5 is because when we showed up at 915am for a 10am departure (they recommended 930am) we didn't even board the boat until 1030 and departed at 11am. I'm sure that's normal but we could have slept in and saved another hour had they just communicated when their actual boarding was. I recommend wearing lots of sunscreen as well; You will be in the sun all day. If you are a…”

Other than that, the tour was average. We saw a few whales from a distance but nothing spectacular.”

“You should completely avoid this tour. Poor communication before the trip. I selected a pick up point at check out and when you ask the time to pick up, they would avoid the question and ask you to meet at the port. After spent 120 on taxi to get to the meeting point, the tour was cancelled due to wind. There was no communication and all telling their customers not to show up. I saw another group as disappointed as we were. The company didn’t initiate a refund and I had to contacted viator for the request. On top of that, they charged $20 pp for docking fee, because the…”
