The Best Canopy Tour in Puerto Vallarta: Boat Tour and Tequila

This canopy tour in Puerto Vallarta packs zip lines, river swimming and a tequila tasting into a single day. The operator describes it as more than a zip line: a full experience that blends nature, adventure and Mexican culture. The listing gives the duration as 390 minutes.

You choose how to get there: a speedboat ride around the bay or a land trip in safari-style vans. Once at the park you fly along 19 zip lines over jungle and a river, guided by bilingual experts. The operator describes them as among the longest and highest in the region, but the description says only that you fly over the jungle and the river.

Beyond the zip lines, the day includes time to swim in natural river pools, slide down rock slides and waterslides, and kayak. You can also visit a sanctuary with rescued animals, which the operator says promotes wildlife care, and take part in a traditional tequila tasting.

There is a lunch option at a riverside restaurant-bar, with tropical cocktails, though the food and drinks are not included in the price. The written itinerary lists a 240-minute block, while the overall duration is 390 minutes, so ask the operator how the day is timed when you book. The operator also asks you to see its reservation policy for details on meeting times and locations.

The tour suits travelers who want a mix of adrenaline, water and nature and have at least a moderate level of fitness. It is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Water during the zip line tour, transport, expert guides, the tequila tasting and the activity equipment are included; gratuities, food and beverages are not.
