A jungle zipline day in the Sierra Madre. Cross the bay by boat, ride up by truck and mule, then zip, rappel beside a waterfall and slide down the hillside.
Outdoor Adventure is a zipline tour in Puerto Vallarta’s southern jungle, set in a natural reserve in the Sierra Madre about six miles south of town. You cross the bay by boat to the fishing village of Boca de Tomatlán, ride a Unimog truck to base camp, then take a mule up through the forest to the first line.
From there it is a canopy tour with water in it: a zipline circuit that includes the Roller Coaster zipline, which twists and drops through the trees, a rappel beside a waterfall and a run of hillside water slides. It is an active day of about six and a half hours, for families with children of 8 and over.
The Roller Coaster zipline turns and dips through the canopy instead of running in a straight line.
Outdoor Adventure runs as a shared small-group tour, operated by Vallarta Adventures and booked through us. Private days are available on request.
You return across the bay by speedboat.
Our concierge confirms availability and books it for you.
Booking for the whole villa? Vallarta Adventures runs private Outdoor Adventure days on request, and our concierge arranges it for your group.
The Outdoor Adventure day: the boat out at first light, mules up the trail, rappelling beside a waterfall, the water slide and the long ziplines back down.
