Puerto Vallarta Night Lights Private Tour

This private evening ride shows Puerto Vallarta's night views in a short outing of about two hours. It starts with a hotel pickup and returns you to your hotel with a professional English-speaking driver, so the whole loop is handled for you.

The first stop is the Romantic Zone and the Malecón (about 30 minutes). After sunset, sculptures, shops and performers are lit against the backdrop of Banderas Bay, and the boardwalk shows a different, livelier personality than by day.

Next is Muelle de los Muertos (about 30 minutes), a modern sail-shaped pier that glows at night, its curves lit in changing colors. It is one of the city's most photographed landmarks after dark, with views along the beach and across the water.

The evening ends at Marina Vallarta (about 60 minutes), a relaxed area with restaurants and cafés overlooking moored yachts. It offers a quieter contrast to downtown and a chance for a sweet treat before heading back.

A comfortable sedan is assigned to groups of 1 to 3 people and a minivan to groups of 4 to 8. Included are hotel pickup and drop-off, fuel and tolls, on-board WiFi and all taxes and fees; other beverages, meals and tips are not. Specialized infant seats are available. The drivers are professional locals rather than official tour guides and cannot accompany you to the sights, but they share historical and local information. The ride cannot start or end at the airport, port or train stations. Tell the operator about any special requirements, such as a service animal, when you book.
