Rhythm of The Nights for sure, walking around Old Town and evening taco tour are all great. A Taste of Italy is a cash only restaurant in old town with super cheap homemade pasta. Busy all the time but a great little place to stop by! Also the zoo is awesome. A quick bus ride from old town and lots of fun. Also very cheap!
Jena
Check out human connections in burcasias ... Great tour of the local artisians and food!
Emmaline
Sayulita for sure, walking on the malecon during the day and i think weekend nights is when they host different things - usually lots of music and performers, La Palapa Restaurant you can sit right on the beach and the view at sunset is gorgeous. food was very good!
Brittney
El Rio BBQ Bar
Kathy
I absolutely love PV! Rhythms of the night, whale watching, pirate ship, bucerias, the malecon, swimming with the dolphins, the zip line. Check out Vallarta Adventures for some awesome deals
Judy
Totally, if you haven't already figured it out, Rythms of the night. We went over early, sat on the beach, did snorkeling, then changed for dinner and the show. Fantastic day!
Christy
Water taxi to Yelpa (it is a must)...you can do OceanGrill when you get back
Esther
Pirate ship Vallarta was amazing and so much fun....they have the American days and Canada days....Great fun well worth the money. You don't need to be a couple for this event.
Roger
Sierra Madre tour is awesome
Linda
Vallarta Adventure - Outdoor Zipline Adventure. Zodiac ride, truck ride up the mountain, donkey ride, zipline, repelling, waterslides. Great staff.
Stunning Iguana Restaurant in the Casa Kimberly Hotel. Stunning views at sunset. (More on the pricey side)
Local transit to Sayulita and into downtown PV.
Bucharias market.
Have a great trip!!
Lem

Brenda
Rythum of the nights
Brenda
It’s worth the money
Leah
I highly agree with Brenda. We are well travelled and still talk about how great it was!
Heather
Rhythm of the Nights & Salulita
Pat
Take a walk down the Malecon and enjoy the sand sculptures.
Kris
Nothing better than the local Taxi drivers, we hired a taxi driver for a day around $100CDN and he took us to places that is unbelievable. Best fruit stands with fresh coconuts-apparently only the locals go, quiet beaches with best views, flea market that sells the same thing as Malecon but 1/2the price, old town, best tacos...etc.
Brenda
Rhythms of the Night for sure, have been twice & would go again! Bucerias market is amazing!!
Chris
Buccerias is a great place to explore. Fun market, great beachside restaurants. Stop in on your way to Sayulita. While in Sayulita check out Playa Los Muertos. Cool and quiet beach and a bit of an adventure getting there. Stop into La Cruz on your way back to PV. Go to Tacos on the Street. Very simple menu. Packed in the evenings. Truly amazing rib eye tacos.
I will be there in a month. Cant wait!
Laurie
Ally Cat Sailing Adventurers. Best boat tour in PV. We have owned a place there for 20 years. Much better then Vallarta Adventures for a boat tour. Rythum of the Night is great however.
Brenda
Swimming with wild dolphins, whale watching or snorkelling with Wildlife Connections in the bay of banderas. Led by marine biologists
Sharon
Please do not support any activity that promotes the exploitation of animals

Puerto Vallarta: A Coastal Paradise You Shouldn't Miss!
Puerto Vallarta, a vibrant city nestled along the Pacific coast of Mexico, is a destination that promises an unforgettable experience for first-time visitors. With its stunning beaches, rich culture, delectable cuisine, and endless activities, it's no wonder this gem of the Bahía de Banderas has captured the hearts of travelers worldwide.
Explore the Malecón
One of the must-visit attractions in Puerto Vallarta is the iconic Malecón, a scenic boardwalk stretching along the downtown waterfront. Here, you can stroll amidst stunning sculptures, enjoy breathtaking views of the bay, and immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere. Street performers, vendors, and local artists create a captivating ambiance, making the Malecón a true embodiment of Puerto Vallarta's spirit.
Soak Up the Sun on the Beaches
No trip to Puerto Vallarta would be complete without indulging in its magnificent beaches. Playa Los Muertos, located in the heart of the city, is a popular choice for its golden sands and lively atmosphere. For a more secluded experience, venture to the picturesque Playa Las Gemelas or the stunning Playa Mismaloya, where the iconic movie "The Night of the Iguana" was filmed.
Embark on an Adventure
Puerto Vallarta offers a wealth of adventure activities for thrill-seekers. From snorkeling and scuba diving in the crystal-clear waters to ziplining through lush tropical forests, there's no shortage of excitement. Adventurous souls can also explore the nearby Sierra Madre Mountains on a hiking or mountain biking excursion, taking in breathtaking vistas and immersing themselves in nature's beauty.
Savor the Flavors
Puerto Vallarta's culinary scene is a true delight for foodies. Indulge in fresh seafood caught daily, savor the rich flavors of traditional Mexican dishes like mole and tamales, or explore the vibrant street food scene. Don't miss the opportunity to attend a cooking class or take a food tour to truly immerse yourself in the local culinary traditions.
Embrace the Nightlife
As the sun sets, Puerto Vallarta comes alive with a lively nightlife scene. From lively bars and clubs pulsating with music to trendy rooftop lounges offering panoramic views, there's something for everyone. Sip on a refreshing margarita while enjoying live entertainment or dance the night away to the rhythms of salsa and mariachi music.
With its stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation, Puerto Vallarta promises an unforgettable experience for first-time visitors. Embrace the warm hospitality, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere, and create lasting memories in this coastal paradise.

Hello Travelers! I'm heading to Puerto Vallarta sometime in March. Can anyone recommend things that are must see/do. First timer on this side of Mexico and don't entirely know what to expect.
Thank you!
