As summer breezes in, it’s the perfect time to start planning your evenings out in gorgeous Punta de Mita. This culinary destination in Mexico offers elevated, authentic cuisine to suit any taste, palate or occasion. Let us suggest five of our favorites, sure to dazzle your taste buds.
One of the reasons that Punta Mita and Riviera Nayarit are such popular destinations for luxury tourism is because of the incredible number of tours and adventures to be found in the region. One of the most popular providers of activities in Punta Mita and the surrounding areas is Vallarta Adventures, a company that truly offers an activity for every interest, age and ability level. Here are five of our top recommendations for tours that will help create an unforgettable vacation for you and your loved ones in Riviera Nayarit.
Hidden Beach Private Tour
Perhaps one of the most iconic natural destinations in Mexico, Hidden Beach, also known as Lover’s Beach, is an incredible hideaway found at the Marietas Islands, just offshore from Punta Mita, where the beach itself is partially “hidden” from view, canopied by a naturally formed, island rooftop with an opening in the center allowing the sun to shine down on the sandy secret below. The Marietas Islands are a federally protected marine habitat, so visitation is limited and only available from a select few tour operators, including Punta Mita Adventures. Surrounded by a coral reef, you can snorkel to see a wonderful and colorful display of tropical fish, manta rays, and sea turtles, and for birdwatchers, the Marietas Islands is a must-see part of your vacation in Punta Mita, as it is the only place outside of the Galapagos Islands where the rare Blue-footed Booby is found in nature.
Rhythms of the Night
One of the most famous and popular tours in Puerto Vallarta, your evening will start out with a catamaran ride to the private beach of Las Caletas where you will enjoy a delicious, candlelit dinner overlooking the ocean, before heading down a jungle trail to a stunning amphitheater. There you will be treated to an amazing show written and directed by Savia by Gilles Ste-Croix, the co-founder of the famed Cirque de Soleil. This is a magical night and consistently ranked as a top tour in Puerto Vallarta, year after year.
Sayulita Escape.
