Day
Sailing
If you have never sailed before, this is your opportunity
to learn. Before departing, a short briefing on the
basics of sailing is offered. The rest of the day can
be as interactive as you choose it to be. Adventure
seekers will welcome the opportunity to swim and snorkel
in Banderas Bay, and if weather permits, they stop at
a beautiful beach where you can enjoy swimming and snorkeling
in the protected waters of a secluded cove.
For the less energetic, this
is a day to just lie back on one of our many cushioned
mattresses. There is simply not a better way to take
in the tropical rays, sip an ice-cold beverage, and
enjoy the sounds of the sea punctuated by the song of
the wind and the billowing sails. Without a doubt, sailing
is the ultimate way to catch a glimpse of wild dolphins,
humpback whales, manta rays, and turtles. Wild dolphins
love nothing more than to swim alongside a silently
gliding sailboat, and you will delight in their antics
as they play in our wake. This day combines pure, unadulterated
sailing pleasure with absolute pampering. Vallarta Adventure's
friendly crew scrupulously attends to the smallest details
to ensure that your sailing experience is the adventure
of a lifetime! |

Rhythms
of the Night
Rhythms of the Night is an amazing journey that will
transport you to a spiritual land that time forgot.
A scenic sunset cruise across Banderas Bay takes you
to the isolated cove of Las Caletas, where flickering
torches, gently lapping seas and swaying palms set the
mood for a mesmerizing performance deep within the tropical
forest that will captivate your heart and leave you
breathless.
Only accessible by sea, Las
Caletas is a tropical beach hideaway that by night is
transformed into a magical paradise - and the perfect
setting for our exclusive evening excursion, Rhythms
of the Night. The adventure begins with a breathtaking
cruise across Banderas Bay. As the sun sinks into the
Pacific Ocean and darkness descends, you will enjoy
a privileged view of the scattered lights that glitter
along Puerto Vallarta's coastline. The lights fade into
darkness, and your voyage continues under the star-studded
sky - until a flicker of torches guide us to the secluded
haven of Las Caletas.
Upon arrival, you will feel
like you have taken a step back to a time of pagan mysticism
and legend. Soothing music mingles with the song of
the jungle as you follow a torch lit path that leads
you past live portrayals of forgotten rituals and customs.
The enticing aroma of grilled steak, chicken and fish
lure you towards secluded beach side tables bathed in
the soft glow of candles where you can enjoy your fill
accompanied by freshly prepared vegetables, salads and
handmade tortillas. You will savor every moment of this
unique dining experience as the ocean laps at your feet,
palms sway overhead, and your waiter silently caters
to your every whim. 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 mood for a hypnotic
performance that will keep you spellbound.
The stories of an ancient civilization
are revealed through music and modern dance as one of
Mexico's most innovative contemporary dance troupes
take you on a magical and mystical journey. After the
show, wrap up a perfect evening with a nightcap while
dancing under the stars on the short cruise back to
your point of departure. This exclusive excursion is
distinctly different from other nightlife venues in
Puerto Vallarta - an enchanted evening that you will
never forget!! |

Snorkeling
A day at Las Caletas, our own exclusive coastal hideaway,
offers an incomparable time of utter self-indulgence.
This has to be one of the most enchanting coastal havens
in the world!
The natural beauty of Las Caletas was originally discovered
by the famous film director John Huston, who lived here
for many years. No visitor could ever disagree with
Mr. Huston’s taste in choosing this refuge from
the cares of the world. Only accessible by sea, Las
Caletas stands out against a steep, jungle-clad backdrop
of green canopies. This well secluded tropical nature
preserve awaits your discovery. One hour’s sea
cruise to paradise ensures that you witness some of
the most dramatic coastal scenery that Vallarta has
to offer!
If pure relaxation is your personal
desire, then Las Caletas is the perfect setting: Comfortable
hammocks are hidden in shady spots for your discovery
and enjoyment. As you rest, the gentle lapping of the
surf on our private golden beach beckons you to take
a closer look. At Las Caletas you will recall the breathtaking
wonders of nature and to appreciate our prolific flora
and bird life. Free guided nature walks through the
jungle and unique orchid gardens. Also provided are
interactive deer and parrot centers.
Guided kayak tours, snorkeling
tours, and scuba diving courses ensure that you will
not miss out on the array of sea life inhabiting our
natural cove. The height of self-indulgence is to take
a therapeutic body massage or facial at our hilltop
spa center. The spa sanctuary offers unparalleled views
and warm sea breezes to compliment our completely natural
de-stress therapy. Las Caletas is, purely and simply,
a safe haven from civilization and Mexico’s answer
to the Garden of Eden.! |

techniques we use to communicate with these amazing animals.
Following the orientation, small groups of guests begin
their thrilling in-water dolphin experience. As you become

rubdowns, you will notice that the dolphins enjoy interacting
with you. Then, taking the relationship one step further,
