10 tours · €20–€109 per person · ★ 4.9
The shore excursions Puerto Vallarta visitors can compare here were picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 10 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Puerto Vallarta port excursions run from €20 per person for a city tour to €109 per group for a private yacht charter. For cruise excursions in Puerto Vallarta aboard a private yacht, snacks and an open bar are included, so food and drinks are covered while you are on the water.
Check the option before you book: the cruise canopy tour requires your ship name, docking, disembarkation and reboarding times when you reserve. Zipline tours leave food and drinks out of the price, and private yacht charters exclude hotel pickup, so check the meeting point.
