Sunscape Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa

Las Caletas was once the private home of legendary film director John Huston, who considered it one of the most beautiful places in the world. Nestled in a secluded nature preserve on the southern shores of Banderas Bay, it’s now Vallarta Adventures' own exclusive tropical beach hideaway.

Our itinerary is flexible to maximize the discovery of marine life surrounding the Bay of Banderas. Our day combines fun and wonderment with attentive service. Relax with an ice cold drink and enjoy the warm tropical sun and splendid view.

The Marietas Islands National Park, at the entrance of Banderas Bay, is located at the confluence of 2 major Pacific Ocean currents which creates an area incredibly rich and abundant with marine life. Marietas is recognized internationally as a critically important marine sanctuary with incredible natural beauty. There are 2 main islands, various smaller islands, and 2 beautiful natural beaches (The famous Playa de Amor and Playa Nopalera). Along the way to the Marietas, you have an excellent chance of seeing Dolphins, Turtles (Summer), Manta Rays (Spring), and Humpback Whales (Winter). Our Guide will explain the ecosystems, marine life, and some local culture and then at Marietas, join us for snorkeling, beach, and bird watching. Sightsee along the islands' coasts with rugged shorelines, cliffs, caves, natural arches and chimneys. During the return, relax with the boat under sail and enjoy the hospitality of our crew. For those who enjoy nature, a tour not to be missed!

EcoSail is Puerto Vallarta’s original Whale Watching Company! The Humpback Whale is the most playful of all whales and they migrate to our mild tropical waters from their northern feeding grounds for mating and calving. Males initiate mating by singing and impressive demonstrations of power such as tail flapping, pectoral fin slapping, and breaches - where a 40 ton whale will come flying out of the water!  Females impregnated the year before return and calve and newborns are very playful as their moms get them ready for the migration north. Join us on our classic sailboats, which are comfortable (shade and bathroom), very non-threatening to the whales, low noise, and excellent viewing. Our guides provide a wealth of information and you can share our passion when we encounter these magnificent animals.

Burrowed deep in the heart of the Sierra Madre Mountains, San Sebastian del Oeste's remote setting has made it one of Mexico's last remaining secrets. While this tiny mountain enclave (elevation 1,372 m) isn't far from Puerto Vallarta, it's still a world away from the usual tourist haunts.

World-famous surfer retreats Sayulita and San Pancho are known for their cool and relaxed vibe. These towns are also packed with culture—from native Huichol crafts to a local afterschool program that turns recycled trash into art.
