Full-Day San Blas Tour from Puerto Vallarta

This full-day tour takes you from Puerto Vallarta to San Blas, a Mexican port that the operator says was once considered the most important port on the North Pacific. The day is listed at 600 minutes, so expect a long outing that combines travel with time on foot and on the water.

In San Blas you explore the port, its lagoons and local vegetation, and the historic La Contaduría. A certified tour guide walks you to the local sights and gives you the historical background of the place, which is why the operator suggests comfortable clothing. The listing itineraries an attraction visit of about 35 minutes focused on the history of the port and of Mexico.

A highlight of the day is the boat trip through La Tovara. You board a panga, a small open boat, for a tour of about 50 minutes among the lagoons and the surrounding vegetation. Non-alcoholic drinks are served on board and the La Tovara tour itself is included in the price.

The tour suits travelers who like history and quiet natural settings and are comfortable with a full day out. It is listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels. Children must be accompanied by an adult, specialized infant seats are available and infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller.

Transport is by air-conditioned van or Sprinter, with a certified bilingual guide and travel insurance included. Alcoholic drinks are available to purchase, while food, other drinks and gratuities are not included. The tour begins at approximately 8 a.m., and the pickup time depends on your hotel; the operator will give you the exact time once you confirm your reservation and will reconfirm it in a second email. Wear comfortable clothes.
