Puerto Vallarta Night Zipline: Sunset Views, Dinner & Prehispanic Show

The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Platforms and cables require secure footing—sneakers or light hiking shoes are best; flip-flops are not allowed.

Bring insect repellent

Nighttime in the jungle brings mosquitoes; apply repellent before the zipline and after scenic stops.

Carry ID and small cash

Tequila tasting requires legal ID and vendors at viewpoints may accept cash for souvenirs.

Notify guides of health limits

Disclose any recent spinal, heart, or pregnancy concerns during booking—the activity is not recommended for these conditions.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Mismaloya’s quiet west-facing beach for early sunrise views
  • A short riverside trail near the zipline base that reveals native orchids and bromeliads

Wildlife

  • white-tailed deer
  • various nocturnal bats

Conservation Note

Operators commonly follow leave-no-trace practices and limit group sizes at performance and dining areas—respect marked trails and avoid feeding wildlife to reduce human impact.

The southern Bahía de Banderas coast has long been a crossroads for coastal fishing communities and inland indigenous groups; nearby Mismaloya was a film location for 1960s Hollywood movies that brought early tourism to the area.
