At Vallarta Adventure our goal is to give you the most rewarding adventure travel experience of your life - whether by sea, land, or air. We believe that your satisfaction and comfort are directly related to the success of our company, so we strive to provide you with unique excursions, expert tour guides, and high-quality equipment to ensure a fun, educational and safe adventure.
Whether by sail or power, you'll enjoy the comfort and safety of our modern vessels as you navigate the blue waters along the Pacific Coast of Mexico. With our professional and personable crew members, you'll experience an exhilarating sense of freedom as the wind pushes you across Banderas Bay on a luxury Sailboat, speed to your adventure-in-paradise on a fully equipped, USCG approved Catamaran, or discover remote areas and natural wonders in one of our sleek Apex Inflatables.
By land, the best way to explore the ecological attractions and magnificent scenery of the rugged Sierra Madre mountains is by overcoming the difficulties of the terrain. Vallarta Adventure's fleet of 20 Mercedes Benz Unimogs will take you deep into the heart of the jungle on an exciting jeep safari - and our friendly drivers and guides will have you home in time for dinner! For sightseeing tours, our air-conditioned Minivans make the ride safe and comfortable.
Only by air can you discover the forgotten cultures, traditions and customs of the remote villages and historical towns that lie beyond Vallarta. Our state-of-the-art Cessna Caravan was designed for aerial sightseeing tours and is crewed by our seasoned, professional pilots. All maintenance and operations are performed in strict compliance with international air regulations and safety standards.

With a top speed of 50 knots and powered by two high performance 250 HP Mercury engines, this craft can carry up to 12 passengers with ease and grace.
Equipped with 1 restroom, incorporated cooler for drinks and a sophisticated GPS and radar system, the boat is also an ideal option for specialist dive groups (up to 8 divers.)
APEX INFLATABLES
 These incredibly versatile and extremely fast inflatable speed boats are used on Vallarta Adventures' Whale Photo Safari tour and The Outdoor Adventure. Each is powered by two 200 horse power Mercury Engines and have a sophisticated “planing” system which drops the nose of the boat at speeds over 20 mph to ensure a safe and comfortable ride. With a top speed of 50 mph, these boats are the fastest way to get around the Bay. The inflatable skirt acts as a shock absorber across the water which, along with cushioned seats, ensure that you enjoy a smooth ride. Each Apex Inflatable can hold up to 32 people and has a covered roof to shelter you from the sun. The unique design means that these are the only speedboats around that can land at beaches without having to use tenders.

UNIMOGS
 These bright yellow trucks are the ultimate 'go-anywhere' four-wheel-drive vehicles and an emblem of the adventurous spirit of our company. Originally built in Germany under NATO contract for military use, they are the favored means of transportation for many of the world's military forces.
We customized our fleet of 20 rough and rugged Unimogs to meet Vallarta Adventure's specific needs and safety standards. The chassis have been raised to 2 1/2 feet from the ground to facilitate the mountainous terrain of the Sierra Madre, extra wide tires have been mounted to increase stability, and we added cushions and seat belts to the troop benches to provide a comfortable ride without the rough & tumble of many other 4WDs.
CESSNA CARAVANS
 Our fleet of rugged, versatile Cessna Caravan airplanes was specifically designed for aerial sightseeing tours in rugged and remote regions. Revered by bush pilots, air-tour operators and research expeditions, Cessna Caravans are capable and efficient aircraft. With big wheels and short-field performance, our charter planes are ideal for reaching runways in remote places that other tour operators wouldn't dream of visiting.
We take pride in the quality and selection of each of our air adventures. Discover the 17th century mining town of San Sebastian, experience the everyday customs and traditions of authentic Mexican town life in Talpa and Mascota, visit the remote mountain village of San Andres to witness the ritualistic lifestyle of the Huichol Indians, or take a full day excursion exploring the historically rich treasures of Guadalajara. The more adventurous can enjoy a three day journey to experience the natural beauty found in Mexico's Copper Canyon, or create your own unique adventure on a Private Tour.
All of our airplane charters are crewed by highly experienced, professional pilots and there's never a moment when you won't feel completely safe in their skilled hands. Our primary goal is to provide you with high-quality air expeditions by paying close attention to your comfort and security.
We rely on Cessna's reliability and performance because they are perfectly suited for out-of-the-way destinations and adventure travel expeditions. To ensure a safe and comfortable journey, our ultramodern turbo prop Cessna Caravans feature:
A roomy square-cabin design that can carry up to 14 passengers in air-conditioned and climate controlled comfort.
Low speed scenic flights to provide passengers with time to appreciate the views.
Super large, flat, untinted windows facilitate undistorted photography of the scenery.
High wing design to provide unobstructed views for all passengers.
Adventure travelers can be confident in our flying experience. For your safety, our planes and pilots strictly adhere to all government and international regulations and meet the highest safety standards for charter flights and aerial sightseeing tours. | |
