Day Excursions at Secrets Vallarta Bay: Extreme Canopy Tours in Puerto Vallarta!

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is a place known for its natural beauty, from the magnificent Pacific beaches to the tropical forests right on the outskirts of the city.  While guests at Secrets Vallarta Bay Puerto Vallarta enjoy this lovely coastal city– whether with an ocean view room or walks on the beach, swimming in our pools, or scuba diving – not everyone gets to enjoy the beauty inland.

For all of our adventure-seeking guests, there are a number of ways to visit the tropical forests of Puerto Vallarta. Why not try an Extreme Canopy Tour with Vallarta Adventures? On an Extreme Canopy Tour, you can explore the forest from the tops of the trees while zip lining – and so much more!

With the guidance of professional and well-trained staff, anyone brave enough to climb as high as the treetops and zip line through the forest, can explore this environmentally protected area.  During a full-day tour, adventure seekers can experience several different zip lines, including Mexico’s longest and fastest – 4,000 feet and up to 60 miles per hour!

And for people who want more than just zip lines, there are a variety of other fun forest activities – like tree rappelling, a 50-foot-high Crazy Ladder, Tarzan swings and several walkways and hanging bridges through the forest canopy.

For the thrill of a lifetime, contact your concierge today and book your Extreme Canopy Excursion during your stay at Secrets Vallarta Bay!  You will be glad you did!
