This post simply cannot do justice to all of the many activities in the area. Have a look at the following list of top things to do in Puerto Vallarta so that you can begin to plan for your vacation to Puerto Vallarta or help you decide if it is the right place for you to live.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Top recommendations for things to do in Puerto Vallarta<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li><strong> Sunset Walks <\/strong>\u2013 Since Banderas Bay is so wide, you will be able to view the sun setting over the ocean each night, no matter what time of year you arrive. Consider having some ice cream, frozen yogurt, or you can enjoy a cocktail as you walk along the sand or along the Malecon or Marina boardwalk. It is just as amazing to watch it by yourself as with a partner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> The Malecon Nightlife<\/strong> \u2013 If you are a fan of the nightlife, you should experience the party setting on the Malecon boardwalk. Nightclubs and bars on the Malecon are generally are free to enter unless you arrive during the peak party holiday season like Spring Break and Christmas. You must be 18 or older to enter the clubs. You also do not have to be much of a party animal to enjoy the Malecon\u2019s nighttime setting. You can people watch as you walk or sit on the sea wall, or join in on the fun as you like.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Marigalante Pirate Ship<\/strong> \u2013 If you are interested in getting to see the Pirates of the Bay up close, then you might want to go on this infamous cruise aboard a pirate ship. When you buy a ticket, you will receive a meal, access to the open bar, and family-friendly pirate entertainment. If you would prefer something during the day, you can join the Pirate Ship day tour where you will get to go kayaking, snorkeling and hear some great pirate humor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Paddle Boarding<\/strong> \u2013 A popular pastime among the people of Puerto Vallarta and those who vacation there is paddle boarding. Take advantage of the beach clubs that allow you to get rental boards at no charge. As a guest, member or owner, you can borrow equipment at Garza Blanca Preserve and paddle out each day for free.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Zip Lining<\/strong> \u2013 You can spend an afternoon gliding above a river or even over the top of jungle foliage by a rope when you go zip lining. It is quite the adventure for people from all walks of life. You are sure to see wonderful sights high above the forests of Puerto Vallarta.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"6\">\n<li><strong> Fishing<\/strong> \u2013 At the top of the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta is sports fishing. Some locals fish to provide food for their families, though many also fish for the fun of it (or both). There are options to either go on a fishing tour or to charter a boat to go out on the water with a private party. Look out for the Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Tuna, Red Snapper and Sailfish that are in the waters.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"7\">\n<li><strong> Botanical Gardens<\/strong> \u2013 If you would rather have a peaceful setting to spend your time, the Vallarta Botanical Gardens may be the right choice for you. These gardens provide an escape from the heat that you feel elsewhere in Puerto Vallarta. This is because they are located high up in the mountains in the jungle. Besides plants, you will find a restaurant, walkways, a shop, and even a river. This is a beautiful place to spend a whole day for your relaxation and is relatively close to Garza Blanca Preserve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"8\">\n<li><strong> Sky Diving<\/strong> \u2013 This adrenaline-filled thing to do in Puerto Vallarta is a fairly new one for the people of Puerto Vallarta. Since a renowned company has begun to offer skydiving sessions in this area, residents and visitors alike can sign up to have this great experience. Novices can book a tandem jump with a professional instructor and experts can simply pay for the plane ride to jump on their own steam. It also is possible for you to receive training and get a skydiving certificate.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"9\">\n<li><strong> Golf <\/strong>\u2013 There are numerous world-class golf courses available for you in Puerto Vallarta. You can play as you look out over the ocean, which is a unique experience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"10\">\n<li><strong> Whale Watching<\/strong> \u2013 View the whales in Banderas Bay in the winter by taking a much loved whale watching tour. You can see whales between November and March, which is when these majestic animals swim up north. Many residents have caught sight of whales jumping from their balconies at Garza Blanca.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing the top things to do in Puerto Vallarta is a hard task.
