Our dessert trays boast brownies, pies, traditional rice pudding, and plenty of local fresh cut tropical fruit.

You'll savor every moment of this unique dining experience whether you are with your special someone or with a group. While lingering over coffee and dessert, the pulsing beat of native drums summon you to our outdoor amphitheater. Here, hidden at the edge of the tropical jungle, a torch-lit pyramid sets the scene, creating the atmosphere for a mesmerizing and breathtaking theatrical performance.

In a hypnotic and exhilarating spectacle, stories of an ancient civilization are told through live music and modern dance as one of Mexico's most innovative contemporary dance troupes transport you on a magical and mystical journey through time. After the show, end a perfect evening with a nightcap and dancing beneath the stars on the short cruise back to your point of departure.

Snorkeling
 
 
There is a vast array of marine life living in the Mexican Pacific and on the shores of Banderas Bay.

Sailing
 
 

Day time

For all you first time sailors out there, this is a chance to get your sea legs and learn from the experts. You'll appreciate the luxury and comfort of a Beneteau sailing boats. Trust the tropical winds to carry you to whatever you are looking for - turquoise waters, secluded bays and picture perfect beaches.


Before you set sail from Marina Vallarta, will give you an introduction on the essentials of sailing. Once the lessons are over though, the rest of the day can be as active as you wish.

The more adventurous of you can take the opportunity to swim and snorkel in beautiful Banderas Bay, and if the weather is right, will stop to explore a protected and secluded cove. For those who crave some downtime though, this is the perfect day to just lie back on one of our oversized cushions and bask in the tropical rays. Sip on an ice-cold drink, relax to the calming sounds of the ocean and the billowing sails as they cater to your every need.

Sailing is the ultimate way to witness wild dolphins, humpback whales, manta rays, and sea turtles in their natural habitat. Dolphins love to swim alongside a silently gliding sailboat, so if you are lucky enough to meet up with them, you'll delight in their antics as they jump and play in our wake. During the winter season (December to March) whales are also often spotted breeching or passing by the bow of the boat.

With lunch, snacks and all drinks all included, this wonderful day mixes the pleasures of sailing with absolute pamper:

 

 

Sunset

As you gaze out across the Pacific Ocean, you'll marvel at the changing colors of the sky and the horizon emblazoned in shades of fiery gold, red and pink. Then, just as the sun sets, we'll sail along the shoreline near the Malecon, where the delicate mix of hues painting Puerto Vallarta give you the chance to photograph the Old Town glistening in dramatic color.

The sunset sailing charters are the ideal way to celebrate a birthday, honeymoon, anniversary, or the perfect ending to another unforgettable day in Puerto Vallarta. We'll help you unwind with some fine wine, cheeses and an open bar. And as the sunset dissolves into a starlit night, you can share a romantic kiss or two as you sail across Banderas Bay aboard our luxurious Beneteau sailboat.

    San Sebastian
     
     
    Burrowed deep in the heart of the Sierra Madre Mountains, San Sebastian's remote setting has made it one of Mexico's last remaining secrets. While this tiny mountain enclave (elevation 4500 ft) isn't far from Puerto Vallarta, it's still a world away from the usual tourist haunts.

    Just 90 minutes distance from Puerto Vallarta, the drive flies by as you wind your way through impressive mountain scenery. From the comfy atmosphere of the air conditioned van, you'll see everyday scenes of rural life and some of the most breathtaking views Mexico has to offer.

    Originally settled in 1605, this secluded 17th century mining town reached its peak of prosperity in the 1700s, when over 30,000 people inhabited the area. Over the years, the town's population fluctuated wildly as gold and silver were mined intermittently between the 1600's and the 1930's.

    Although those gold rush years are long gone and settlers have since moved on, this beautiful mountain village of just 600 residents has kept its true colonial heritage. A shining example of an ancient Mexican village and well known for its corn and cattle trade, San Sebastian is now cultivating coffee and agave in its lush mountainsides.

    With its charming cobblestone plaza, elegant snow-white buildings, classic Porfirian bandstand, an 18th century church dedicated to San Sebastián and a wealth of 18th century Haciendas, you'll enjoy a privileged glimpse into colonial Mexico, untouched by time.
