Extreme Sports in Puerto Vallarta!

If relaxing on the beach all week seems a bit boring to you and you are looking for an adrenaline rush, don't worry, PV has that too! 

How does zip-lining more than two miles of cable 500 feet in the air over a river valley sound? An action packed day at Los Veranos Canopy Tour will let you soar through the jungles of Mexico and give a thrill that is sure to delight! The longest line is more than 1,400 feet. Fun, family friendly and safe. Bring sunscreen, bug spray, and walking shoes! Tip: Check their website, sometimes you can get up to 15% off when booking online.

Want to get even higher in the air? Why not try Skydiving in Puerto Vallarta?! Try a tandem jump - perfect for beginners, and hold on tight! The instructors are certified by USPA and have thousands of jumps and years of experience under their belts. Check it off the bucket list and have an experience you will never forget!

Though the idea of Bungee Jumping makes me almost sick to my stomach, there are a number of people who love the rush! There is a place in Vallarta called Bungee Beat a bit south close to Mismaloya where you can jump right over the waters of Banderas Bay. Tip: Bring cash as there is no ATM and no way to accept card, and bring your swimsuit if you want to hang out in their pool afterwards! Good luck.

For something a bit different, and a sure way to exhaust you... try Eco Ride Mex and go mountain biking through Puerto Vallarta. Tours range from 2 1/2- 5 1/2 hours and will take you from cobblestone streets through the mountains along dirt paths and some even to nearby waterfalls. Tip: I would say the beginner is more medium level and the medium is more advanced so keep that in mind when selecting a tour, and of course, bring tennis shoes!

If you have never tried ATVs, it is a great way to explore the outdoors, get completely covered in dirt and mud, and adventure through rugged paths for an off-roaders paradise! Drivers have to be 18 or older. Tip: Bring a change of clothes, you will get filthy! Most places provide goggles and a dusk mask as well as helmets.

There are a number of ways to keep entertained on Los Muertos Beach in Puerto Vallarta, you can go parasailing, rent jet skis, try kayaking or paddle boarding, or the latest craze is Flyboard. Blast out of the ocean and hover above the water. It'll take a bit of coordination but it is definitely a thrill. People with a lot of experience easily bust out backflips and spins that are incredibly entertaining to watch.
