  • Las Caletas or Las Marietas Eco Discovery

    While trip planning, I could not decide between Las Caletas and Las Marietas Eco Discovery. Both sounded similar in that they were boat trips with the option to snorkel and kayak. However, these adventures were completely different. Sea Sick. Las Marietas is located in Banderas Bay, and the journey out there can be unpleasant for…

  • Las Caletas

    Of all the tours offered by Vallarta Adventures, I enjoyed Las Caletas the most. Like the other tours, we started with breakfast at the Nuevo Vallarta center before boarding a catamaran. The ship proceeded to Marina Vallarta, where it picked up additional passengers, and then headed straight to Las Caletas. The ship traveled parallel to…

  • Las Marietas Eco Discovery

    The Las Marietas Eco Discovery tour starts with breakfast at Vallarta Adventures. And, depending on your susceptibility to motion sickness, this may or may not be a good idea. If you require dramamine, picking it up at a local pharmacy in the United States would be a good idea because shops are far and few…

  • Puerto Vallarta v. Nuevo Vallarta

    If you are not sure if you should stay in Puerto Vallarta v. Nuevo Vallarta, consider this Nuevo Vallarta panorama. A bit difficult to see, so I’ve added a scrollable version below. You can see construction cranes working on new developments, as well as large expanses of space between the different resorts. Don’t be fooled…

  • San Sebastian del Oeste

    San Sebastián is a historic mining town located in the mountains almost two hours from Puerto Vallarta. I joined the bus tour that departed from Vallarta Adventures after breakfast. The road to San Sebastian passes through rural Mexico, where you will see abundant fruit trees, horses, cattle and the like. While Puerto Vallarta in June…

  • Vallarta Adventures Breakfast

    When I arrived in Puerto Vallarta, I headed to the MEGA to shop for breakfast for the upcoming week. However, I did not anticipate that Vallarta Adventures would provide a wonderful breakfast before their tours. So, if you are joining a number of tours, plan accordingly or else you will end up with too much…

  • Puerto Vallarta

    Puerto Vallarta was much larger in life than I envisioned. I wanted to get a flavor of old Puerto Vallarta, so we ended up in the part of town with narrow streets paved with cobblestone. So, the first stop was La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Earlier on, I recognized that I was in…

  • Villa La Estancia, Nuevo Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit

    I recently stayed at Villa La Estancia Beach Resort & Spa, located at Paseo de Cocoteros 700 Sur, Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit 63732, Mexico. I had booked the reservations through Costco Travel, which is currently offering a stay four nights for the price of three nights promotion at $279 per person, with a $300 resort credit…
