Zipline & ATV Jungle Adventure Combo

If you’re looking to escape the buzz of Puerto Vallarta’s beaches and city streets for a half-day of thrilling outdoor activities, this Zipline & ATV Jungle Adventure Combo offers a balanced mix of adrenaline, stunning scenery, and local flavor. For $249 per person, you’ll spend approximately five hours exploring the lush rainforests, soaring over waterfalls, and navigating rugged terrains—plus, enjoy a tequila tasting at the end. The tour departs from the vibrant Zona Romántica area, making it quite accessible for visitors staying nearby.

What we really appreciate about this experience is how it combines high-energy activities with opportunities to take in the natural beauty of the area. The 11 ziplines take you across treetops and over waterfalls, offering spectacular views that we found genuinely breathtaking. Equally enjoyable is the ATV ride—think climbs, descents, and dirt roads through the jungle that truly get your pulse racing. The inclusion of a tequila tasting at the Magical Garden of El Nogalito Restaurant provides a nice cultural twist—sampling local spirits while cooling off in freshwater rivers is a memorable way to cap off the adventure.

One thing to keep in mind is that the tour is quite active and involves getting dusted and wet, so bringing extra dry clothes and sunblock is advisable. The group size is small, with a maximum of 20 travelers, which keeps the experience intimate but also means you’ll want to book early if you’re eager to secure a spot during peak seasons. This tour is best suited for those who love outdoor adventures, don’t mind some physical activity, and are keen to sample authentic local flavors.

What to Expect from the Jungle Adventure

The tour begins with a pickup from your hotel or the designated meeting point in Zona Romántica. From there, you’ll be transported to the adventure base, where safety gear such as helmets and goggles are provided. Once geared up, the experience kicks off with the ziplining portion. You’ll glide along 11 different ziplines, some long and high, providing sweeping views of lush jungle, waterfalls, and mountains. We loved how the lines varied in length and height, giving a mix of adrenaline rushes and scenic sightseeing.

The guides, including helpful staff members like Carlos and Ana, are experienced and attentive, making sure everyone feels safe. From the reviews, we know that many travelers, even those new to ziplining or ATV riding, find the activities accessible and enjoyable. One guest, Thomas, shared, “It was the first time I rode an ATV and it was no problem!” This suggests that beginners will feel comfortable trying out these activities.

After the zipline adventure, you’ll hop onto rugged all-terrain vehicles. Expect climbs, steep descents, and navigating dirt paths through the jungle. This part is more physically engaging, but the guides help you manage the terrain, making it suitable for most participants. The ATV ride offers unique perspectives of the rainforest, and if you’re lucky, you might spot wildlife or the occasional waterfall along the way.

The tour concludes at the Magical Garden of El Nogalito Restaurant, where you can cool off in a river with crystal-clear water. Here, you’ll also enjoy a tequila tasting featuring local flavors—some of which are flavored tequilas, offering a sweet or spicy twist. Although food and drinks aren’t included in the tour price, the setting alone makes it worth lingering.

The Authentic Experience and Scenic Highlights

What sets this tour apart is the combination of adventure and authenticity. The views from the ziplines are genuinely stunning, with panoramic vistas of waterfalls cascading down the mountains and the dense canopy stretching in every direction. These are the moments that make the effort worthwhile, especially when you’re soaring above the treetops with the wind rushing past.

The ATV portion allows for a more immersive experience—climbing steep inclines, traversing rocky patches, and feeling the raw power of the vehicles as they tackle rugged terrain. Travelers have noted the helpfulness of staff and the fun atmosphere, making even the less experienced feel confident. We loved the way the guides kept the mood light and encouraging, which goes a long way in making the adventure accessible.

The tequila tasting at the end rounds out the day with a taste of local culture. You’ll sample flavored tequilas in an ecological setting that combines natural beauty with a touch of traditional Mexican spirit. This part of the tour is especially appreciated by those interested in learning about Mexico’s tequila heritage or simply relaxing after the physical activities.
