ABOUT VALLARTA ADVENTURES
Inspired by nature more than 18 years
ago, founder Ricardo Farkas started
operating tours as a way to share his
passion for nature. He built his company
around a simple philosophy: provide
unparalleled, nature-based adventures
for each and every guest. What started
out as a single-boat operation has grown
into Mexico’s premier adventure-based
tour company - providing the best tours
in Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and, most
recently, Cancun and the Riviera Maya.
Today we offer the widest selection of
tours available. From the jungles to the
sea, our tours provide a safe, fun and
informative adventure to people who
want to discover all that the area has to
offer. Experience a ride on a thrilling zip
line, an enchanting cultural performance
and candlelit dinner on a private beach,
or an eco-adventure tour of the Sierra
Madre—no matter who you are or how
old you are, we have an adventure just
for you.
We believe that an unforgettable
experience begins with outstanding
guides and giving talented people the
freedom to do things they love, and it
shows in the passion our guides bring
to their work and in the way they share
their knowledge with our guests.
Join us for an adventure of a lifetime, and
experience why we are continually rated
as Vallarta’s #1 tour company.
Vallarta Adventures believes that it is important to have a positive impact on the
environment and local communities. Our eco-adventures, dolphin programs and
social programs are developed to educate and build awareness around environmental
protection and to “Inspire Change” locally and globally. We take great pride in all of our
social and environmental efforts and hope to make Mexico and the world a better
place for everyone and everything.
SOME WAYS WE ARE INSPIRING CHANGE
• Sponsor animal and environmental educational programs for kids and local residents.
• Donate to scholarships for local elementary school children.
• Provide free dolphin therapies for low-income families with children of special-needs.
• Oversee area re-forestation programs, beach clean-ups and roadside trash collections.
• Participate in the rescue and rehabilitation of distressed whales, dolphins, turtles and
marine life.
• Partner with groups like PEACE, Children of the Dump, Family Development Agency,
Sea World Conservation Fund, and many more for social and environmental causes.
• Recycle over 90% of our garbage and compost all organic waste.
In addition to exploring the jungle canopy
from the zip lines, you'll also experience
many other exciting activities. Like two
amazing rappels off of elevated treetop
platforms, a wobbly climb up the
15-meter (50 ft) high Crazy Ladder, fun
ride on the Tarzan Swings, plus suspended
walkways and hanging bridges.
The hottest and newest thing in town!
Hop into some of the coolest vehicles around, Polaris RZR UTVs, and test your off road
driving skills as you explore the jungle floor on our specially designed off road course.
Sit side-by-side having a blast as you drop down steep grades, cross rocky river beds,
climb up hills and more.

OFFROAD ADVENTURE
SAN SEBASTIAN DEL OESTE
The ideal way to get off the beaten path and
explore the real Mexico. We’ll escort you in
Unimog® 4x4 vehicles into the remote,
traditional villages of the Vallarta outback and
introduce you to the unique ecosystem of the
Sierra Madre mountains. Our exceptional
guides will educate you on everything, from
the history of Mexico to the flora and fauna of
the mountains—all in amazing detail. Enjoy a
guided nature walk, visit to a traditional
“casa” for hand‐made tortillas and tacos and
stop at a beautiful beach for a BBQ lunch and
to chill out. On the way back, enjoy an open
bar, with soda, beer and tequila, and share
your experiences and laughter with your
newfound friends
San Sebastian is a living museum untouched
by time; a picturesque village surrounded by
aromatic pine forests 5,413 feet (1,650 meters)
up in the Sierra Madre mountains. With
colonial architecture, a colorful village square
and quaint cobblestone streets, you’ll feel as if
you have stepped back in time to
18th-Century Mexico when Puerto Vallarta
was merely a small port for this mountain
town. Immerse yourself in the rich history with
a guided walking tour and visit the village’s
main highlights, such as the 18th-Century
church, colonial homes, old haciendas and
local coffee producers—this is truly a cultural
experience that should not be missed.

DOLPHIN SWIM EXPERIENCE DOLPHIN ENCOUNTER
A fun dolphin adventure with an exciting ride
A remarkable introduction to dolphins
Everyone dreams of swimming with dolphins, and our Dolphin Swim Experience is
your chance to chat, cuddle, play and swim with these charming and playful
creatures. Designed for those who want the comfort of a shallow platform as well as
an exciting swim encounter. From the platform, you will get to know your dolphin up
close and personal—learning all about these gentle and amazing animals. You also
enjoy a thrilling “belly ride” swim with your dolphin. This is truly a unique and magical
experience full of unique interaction and fun water activities.
Our Dolphin Encounter is designed for non-swimmers and families; it is an ideal
introduction to dolphins. This encounter takes place in the shallow water of our seawater
pool—where you’ll get acquainted with these friendly and curious characters and learn
about their anatomy, physiology and the history of the ocean’s most inspiring and
intelligent mammals. Feel their smooth skin, feed them their favorite treat, kiss and play
with them and communicate using your newly learned hand signals, just like a trainer.
