A Thrilling Day in the Jungle: What to Expect

If you’re looking for a day of outdoor excitement just outside Puerto Vallarta, this tour delivers in spades. It typically starts with a convenient meeting at the local partner’s office, where your guide will brief you on safety and what’s planned. From there, a short transfer transports you into the lush tropical forest—an ideal environment for this high-energy adventure.

The heart of the tour is the zip-lining segment. Here, you’ll soar over treetops on Mexico’s longest and fastest Superman zip line, which is sure to get your adrenaline flowing. The thrill of flying at high speed over the canopy is complemented by a zip line roller coaster, a relatively new attraction that adds twists and turns for an extra dose of fun. For those who love unconventional rides, the roller coaster-style zip is a highlight, offering a different perspective on zip-lining.

After the zip portion, you’ll have the opportunity to try a pendulum swing—a daring jump that swings you out over the forest—and a high-drop water slide that promises a splash of excitement. This mix of activities ensures you stay engaged and challenged, whether you’re climbing, jumping, or just soaking up the views.

Next, the tour takes an off-road turn with a UTV jungle tour. Riding Polaris UTVs along a specially-designed private course, you’ll feel the thrill of navigating through the jungle terrain. The UTV experience is a highlight for many; it’s a chance to get a bit muddy and test your driving skills in a safe environment. The guide is there to assist, making it accessible even for newcomers to off-road driving.

Throughout the day, water and light snacks are provided, which help keep your energy up. The tour concludes with a return to Puerto Vallarta, tired but happy, having experienced the best of outdoor adventure in a compact six-hour window.

The Details: What’s Included and What’s Not

For $119 per person, you get a lot of value. The tour comes with a guide, all necessary equipment, and water and snacks, removing the hassle of organizing separate activities. The price point is reasonable, especially considering the variety of activities and the inclusion of high-quality safety gear.

However, there are a few additional costs to keep in mind. A $50 USD per vehicle insurance fee for collision or damage will be charged at check-in, which is standard in many adventure tours but can feel a bit unexpected if you’re not prepared. Also, the federal reserve tax is not included in the base price, so it’s worth confirming what that entails or checking if it’s included in your final bill.

The meeting point is at the local partner’s office, making it straightforward to find. The tour is typically offered in the morning, which is ideal for fitting into a full Puerto Vallarta day.

It’s not suitable for children under 8, pregnant women, or anyone with certain health issues like back or heart problems. The driver’s license requirement for UTV drivers (must be 18+ and present a valid license) ensures that only capable drivers take the wheel.

If you’re looking to experience the jungle from a different perspective, or want a day filled with adrenaline and outdoor fun, this tour hits the mark. It’s also perfect for groups or families with older children who are eager for an active adventure.
