The photo gallery below gives you a taste of all of the water activities that Puerto Vallarta has to offer. With 25 miles of protected coastline, Puerto Vallarta serves as the ultimate location to experience thrilling water activities and water sports. Take a jet ski out and ride the waves, take a kayak out into the Bay, party aboard a booze cruise, or even parasail high above the beautiful coastline.
Puerto Vallarta is very popular as one of the best places in the world to view Humpback whales in their natural habitat. From November to March, massive humpback whales migrate to their treasured breeding grounds in the warm waters off the coast of Puerto Vallarta. Head out to Los Arcos to snorkel and scuba dive in this protected, underwater national park among the abundance of tropical fish. Spend a fabulous day fishing with Javy- then leave it up to his staff to clean the fish and to serve them up on a moonlit table at the beach in front of his restaurant.
There are also plenty of family friendly water activities. Take a spectacular voyage aboard the pirate ship Marigalante, filled with adventure and fun-- relives the heroic feats of Captain Crispin the Terrible. Or spend the afternoon riding a banana boat in the Bay of Banderas. You can even head to Nuevo Vallarta and swim with the dolphins- an experience of a lifetime.
