Highlights
  • Boca de Tomatlan - In this hike we will explore different hidden beaches following a Beach/Jungle trail

ABOUT:
We meet in Zona Romantica, old center of Puerto Vallarta. Here we take an urban transport just like the locals do!

After a pleasant 25 min ride along the coast we get off at a picturesque fisher town.
Here we will start our hike following the riverbank and the sea.
From there we start our ascent in the tropical forest with some amazing views!

After a short hike trough the jungle we descend to our first destination: Colomitos Beach, officially the smallest beach in Mexico!
After a rest and pictures we continue our path and leave the many tourist behind us to explore more hidden beaches.

Here we have the opportunity to swim alone and feel in paradise.
If the sea is calm, we will visit a secret place where to snorkel and observe a great diversity of fish!

After this refreshing break we’ll continue to our final destination and last beach: ‘Playa las animas’.
Here we have the option to have an incredible local seafood plate. (Not included)

Last but not least we take the boat back to the fishertown where we started the hike. Here we will see the bay from a total different perspective!

Amazing time in the sun and water. - Hike was easy, even in flip flops! Not that I would recommend you do so. Lol. Guide was extremely nice and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and safe. Trail was about 6km and ended with lunch on a beautiful beach. We returned on a boat taxi which was amazing given we were all pretty tired by the end of it. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend.

Favorite of the Trip - This was rated best excursion by our family of four with 2 college aged kids. An intermediate hike that provides some fun terrain to navigate. Alex was a fantastic guide! He made sure to let our kids go ahead as they liked to forge ahead, while making sure everyone in our group of 10 met up ant the main beaches for a short rest. We even got to see a whale late in the season. Food at the end was also quite tasty, and we enjoyed pleasant conversations with the people we met in our group. The short water ride back to the bus stop was also enjoyable. We recommend for sure!
