Dreams Vallarta Bay Puerto Vallarta is perfectly situated near the Western Sierra Madre Mountains on Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Known for its beautiful beaches, charming towns, and friendly people, you’ll enjoy a wide variety of activities in Puerto Vallarta. Spend the day shopping for handcrafted art or enjoy the local flavors. A short drive away from Puerto Vallarta is the beautiful town of Nuevo Vallarta, famous for its long, golden-sand beach along Banderas Bay. If a quiet, tranquil vacation is what you are looking for, spend some time on the relaxing coast of Riviera Nayarit, just further north of Nuevo Vallarta.

There are so many exciting things to do in Puerto Vallarta. Embark on epic half day and full day tours and excursions where you can ATV through the Sierra Madre ranges, explore Marietas Islands or take a city tour. You’ll never forget these experiences.

Marietas Eco Discovery - Puerto Vallarta
Get inspired on a tour of the Marietas Islands' nationally-protected ecosystem and its secrets ready to be discovered off Puerto Vallarta's coast. You can snorkel and kayak as you go offshore in a luxury catamaran, and even take in some whale watching from.

Rhythms of the Night - Puerto Vallarta
Cruise down Banderas Bay at twilight and head to a private cove to watch Puerto Vallarta’s most extraordinary spectacle — Rhythms of the Night. As the stars begin to shine, enjoy a buffet dinner and a brilliant show featuring dance and music.

Yelapa and Majahuitas - Puerto Vallarta
Get away from the modernity of Puerto Vallarta and immerse yourself in nature at two private coves accessible only by boat — Yelapa and Majahuitas! Sail on a catamaran to discover beautiful backdrops and snorkeling in calm and clear bays.

1) I have to put walking as #1 on the list of things to do in Puerto Vallarta. Exploring on foot is the best way to get a feel for the city, and most areas of PV are reachable by walking. - Explore the Romantic Zone and the Malacon!
2) Join a food tour
3) Show and dinner experience - Rhythms of The Night
4) Take a chocolate making class
5) Visit the village/beach of Mismaloya
PLUS: While this isn’t technically a thing to do in Puerto Vallarta, a trip to Marietas Island is an excellent day trip. Only 116 people per day are allowed to visit this gorgeous site — make sure you book online ahead of time.

1. Margarita Grill (perfect for a group to kick off the night)
2. Fredys Tucan (perfect for breakfast)
3. Republic (dinner, cocktails)
4. Andale's Restaurant & Bar (this is a vibe for sure, lot’s of people, good food and drinks, don’t ride the donkey!)
5. La Palapa Restaurant (perfect for people watching, sit right on the beach)
6. Sonorita Olas Altas (casual and authentic)
7. Pancho’s Takos (causal and seafood)
8. Balam Balam (seafood and not a lot of tourists)
9. La Iguana Restaurant (amazing view $$$)
10. Tintoque (perfect for the foodie who wants a elegant setting with creative Mexican dishes)

Travelling to Mexico during COVID requires a few pieces of documentation to enter the country, specifically, a health screening form, and a Mexico tourist card.

If you’re planning on visiting sometime soon, just use this article as a checklist to make sure you have everything on hand, and you’ll be sunning yourself on your favourite beach in no time.

Mexico doesn’t require that any of its visitors be vaccinated. However, your airline will. Be sure to download your Alberta Vaccine passport to present at the gate! We also recommend printing out a copy just in case something should happen to your phone.

All foreign citizens travelling to Mexico must fill out the Multiple Immigration Form, otherwise known as the Mexico Tourist Card !

The card itself is free, and you will need to print out the two-page copy and bring it with you. You can complete this tourist card 30 days prior to your arrival into Mexico. Also, be sure to hold onto this, and you’ll need to present it when you’re leaving the country (this is what the second page is for) so keep it safe!
