Best Puerto Vallarta Tequila Tours: Our 15 Picks

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

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

Spend about five hours soaring across 19 rainforest ziplines above the Los Horcones River, then cool off with swimming, kayaking, and waterslides. Choose a speedboat or land transfer, meet guides such as Pepe, Edgar, and Chica, and finish with tequila tasting, a riverside meal, and a small animal sanctuary.

“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.”
