Best Puerto Vallarta Day Trips

1. Yelapa

If you’re in the mood for a serene beach escape that’s a bit off the grid, Yelapa is your go-to destination. Nestled in a natural cove and devoid of any roads, this small coastal village is one of the best day trips from Puerto Vallarta by boat.

What to Do

  • Water Activities: Yelapa’s clear waters are ideal for snorkeling and swimming.
  • Hiking and Horseback Riding: For those who prefer land-based activities, there are hiking trails leading to nearby waterfalls (Yelapa has several waterfalls to visit). Horseback riding is also an option.
  • Beach Time: Of course, you can always opt to simply relax on the beach and soak in the stunning surroundings.

How to Get There

The most straightforward way to reach Yelapa is by water taxi from Puerto Vallarta’s Los Muertos Pier. The ride takes about 45 minutes and offers scenic views of the coastline.

Alternatively, take this all-day tour on a luxury yacht that includes breakfast and lunch onboard the boat, plus a well-stocked open bar. It doesn’t get better than this!

2. Islas Marietas National Park

Designated as a national marine park and a UNESCO biosphere reserve, Islas Marietas offers some of the most exceptional wildlife-watching experiences near Puerto Vallarta. It was one of the first day trips I took when I moved here in 2021 and part of the reason I first fell in love with PV.

What to Do

  • Hidden Beach: Also known as Playa del Amor, this secret beach has become so popular that only 116 people are allowed per day. Make sure to secure your permit in advance by booking one of these tours.
  • Eco-Tour: A highlight of my time was the eco-tour, where a boat takes you around the islands to see various rock formations and over 90 bird species, including blue-footed boobies. It felt like a mini Galapagos Islands!
  • Snorkeling: The crystal-clear waters are perfect for snorkeling. Keep an eye out for mantas and sea turtles. During our boat ride to the islands, you may even see humpback whales from December to March. We spotted dolphins!

How to Get There

  • Day Tour: The only way to visit Islas Marietas is by booking a day tour. These often include transportation, guided eco-tours, and sometimes snorkeling equipment. Some specialized Hidden Beach tours like this one also help you secure the necessary permits for Playa del Amor.

3. Los Acros National Marine Park

Los Arcos Marine Park, with its stunning rock formations, is a place I’ve visited countless times and still find mesmerizing. Just a 5-minute boat ride from Mismaloya Beach, this marine park offers an incredible day out on the water. It’s one of the most popular day trips from Puerto Vallarta!

What to Do

  • Snorkeling and Diving: Given that it’s a marine park, one of the best things to do here is to put on a snorkel and jump in the water. There are also dive shops that offer guided Puerto Vallarta day tours to explore the beautiful caves, tunnels, and coral reefs teeming with marine life. You can often see manta rays here!
  • Bioluminescence Night Swimming: For a magical experience, go for a night swim to witness the natural phenomenon of bioluminescence. This is one of the most unique things to in Puerto Vallarta at night!
  • Paddleboarding: Paddle around the unique rock formations for a different perspective of Los Arcos.

For those who crave a peaceful retreat complete with hiking, waterfalls, and pristine beaches, Quimixto is a top pick. Accessible by a 20-minute boat ride from the pier at Boca Del Tomatlan, this tranquil spot offers a perfect day trip away from the crowds.

What to Do

  • Hiking to the Waterfall: One of my personal favorite waterfalls in the Puerto Vallarta area, the Quimixto waterfall is about a 30-minute hike inland from where the boat drops you off. The waterfall flows into a large pool that’s refreshing for a swim, even during the dry season.
  • Dining by the Waterfall: There’s a restaurant overlooking the waterfall, offering a unique dining experience.

With its rich history, stunning viewpoints, and unique activities, San Sebastián del Oeste is a day trip that offers a completely different experience from the typical beachside getaway.

Located just 90 minutes from Puerto Vallarta, this centuries-old former mining town sits at an elevation of 4,855 feet and is one of Jalisco’s nine Pueblos Mágicos. The landscape dramatically shifts from palms to pines, and the cooler weather offers a refreshing change.

What to Do

  • Coffee and Racilla Tasting: Visit a traditional coffee hacienda or enjoy a Racilla tasting, a unique liquor made from the region’s blue agave plants.

How to Get There

Day tour: The easiest way to get to San Sabastian from Puerto Vallarta is by joining a day tour from Puerto Vallarta.
