Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

We’ll cruise along the scenic Malecón, Puerto Vallarta’s vibrant seaside boardwalk, where art, culture, and local life all come together. As we ride, you'll see towering bronze sculptures, colorful murals, and the famous Seahorse Statue—all while soaking up ocean views. We’ll stop for photos, share stories behind the art, and point out local landmarks, from historic buildings to hidden gems. Depending on the time of day, you might catch live performers, artisans, or even a beautiful sunset over Banderas Bay. It's the perfect blend of sightseeing and local color—laid-back, beautiful, and buzzing with energy.

Los Muertos Pier – A Striking Landmark with Stunning Views

We’ll ride down to the dramatic Los Muertos Pier, one of Puerto Vallarta’s most photographed spots. With its sail-shaped design and panoramic views of the bay, it’s a perfect place to pause, snap photos, and soak in the coastal atmosphere. Your guide will share how the pier transformed the Romantic Zone and what locals think about this iconic structure. You’ll see fishing boats, local vendors, and maybe even a few daredevils diving off the side. It’s a real slice of local life with unbeatable ocean scenery.

Stop 3 Pass by

We’ll roll through the charming cobblestone streets of the Zona Romántica, one of Puerto Vallarta’s most beloved neighborhoods. Known for its vibrant colors, historic architecture, and eclectic energy, this area blends tradition with creativity. You’ll see murals, boutique cafes, bustling plazas, and classic colonial buildings. Your guide will point out favorite local spots—like panaderías, taco joints, or art galleries—and share stories that bring the neighborhood’s personality to life. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, the Zona Romántica always has something new to discover.

We’ll glide onto Isla Cuale, a lush, tree-lined island tucked between the two halves of Puerto Vallarta. It’s a calm break from the city buzz, filled with artisan markets, hidden statues, and leafy walking paths. You’ll explore the cultural side of Vallarta here—passing small museums, old bridges, and maybe spotting an iguana or two sunning in the trees. Your guide will share the island’s surprising history, from ancient roots to modern community projects, while giving you time to browse crafts or just enjoy the peaceful river views. It’s a quiet gem right in the heart of town.
