Puerto Vallarta
A thriving village turned exciting resort town, Puerto Vallarta gives sun-searchers a piece of authentic Mexico, away from the crowds of Los Cabos and Cancun.
About
Known for its calming shores and captivating nightlife, this oceanside wonder will have even the most laidback of beachgoers, immersing themselves in the hubbub of Puerto Vallarta. The adventure starts at sunrise on the sands of Playa de las Olas Altas or ‘High Wave Beach’. Surfing and fishing are popular pastimes here. From the beach, enter the town and cross swinging bridges onto Isla Cuale. This small island is steeped in authenticity, with monuments, museums, and a two-storey market to explore! Standing tall on the horizon, is the Cathedral of Our Lady Guadalupe, an homage to the patron saint of Mexico. Return to the shore and take a boat tour into the Bay of Banderas and the protected Los Arcos Marine Park, where you can dive beneath huge, naturally formed, granite arches. The surrounding reefs are bursting with color and marine life, and the calm waters make snorkeling accessible for even the newest of swimmers. Back on dry land, as the sun sets on the Pacific, make your way to the bustling boardwalk. Stretching from Zona Romantica and Los Muertos Beach Pier to La Rotonda del Mar and Playa Rosita; here the fiesta is in full flow.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
