Experience the Best of Puerto Vallarta’s Mountains and Adventure with the Combo RZR Zip Lines and Mule Ride Jorullo Route
If you’re looking for a full-day adventure that combines adrenaline, stunning scenery, and authentic Mexican flavor, the Combo RZR, Zip Lines, and Mule Ride tour offers just that. For around $460 per group (up to 2 people), you get approximately 7 hours of fun, exploring the lush mountains of Puerto Vallarta, zipping through the treetops, riding on mules, and ending with a traditional tequila tasting.
What makes this tour particularly appealing is its mix of thrilling activities and beautiful natural sights—not to mention the chance to experience local traditions firsthand. The tour’s guides, like Juan, are known for their friendly attitude and local knowledge, making the experience both safe and engaging.
Two things we really appreciate: first, the private trail for RZR rides that offers a more intimate connection with the landscape; second, the visit to a beautiful waterfall, perfect for photos and cooling off after some high-energy activities.
A potential consideration is the moderate physical fitness level needed—so if you’re not used to active outings or have mobility issues, it’s worth considering. Also, this tour is best suited for those comfortable with heights, as zip lining and mule riding are involved.
This adventure is perfect for adventure seekers, nature lovers, and anyone eager for a taste of authentic Mexican mountain scenery with a side of adrenaline.

Exploring the Puerto Vallarta Combo RZR, Zip Lines, and Mule Route
Starting with the logistics, this tour begins with a pickup in an open-air vehicle, giving you a taste of Puerto Vallarta’s lively atmosphere even before you arrive at the adventure park. The pickup point is at Clemente Orozco b2 in Zona Hotelera, a convenient location if you’re staying nearby, and the tour ends back at the starting point, making logistics straightforward.
Once at the park, the adventure kicks off with a RZR (All-Terrain Vehicle) circuit. The private trail through Puerto Vallarta’s mountains is a highlight—a perfect blend of excitement and scenery. We loved the way the trail takes you through flowing curves, over small inclines, and past curtains of water, giving a fresh, invigorating ride. Our guide, Maria, was enthusiastic but safety-conscious, guiding us through the terrain and ensuring everyone was comfortable.
Highlights here include scenic viewpoints and a visit to a waterfall—ideal spots for photos and a cool break. The waterfall visit is well worth the time, offering a serene contrast to the adrenaline rush. We appreciated the guided walk through the lush surroundings, which added an educational element to the experience.
Next, the tour switches gears with 11 zip lines—a series of soaring crossings that thread through the treetops. The zip lines are well-maintained, and the length and height provide a good thrill without feeling unsafe. The guides ensure everyone is harnessed correctly, and the views from above give a new perspective on Puerto Vallarta’s natural beauty.
After zip lining, the tour moves into a mule ride. Riding on mules along a trail through the mountains adds a rustic charm, giving you a chance to slow down and enjoy the landscape at a relaxed pace. The mules are calm and well-trained, making this part enjoyable for those new to riding as well as experienced.
Finally, the day concludes with a tequila tasting, a chance to sample some local spirits and learn about the drink’s production. We found this to be a perfect ending—delicious, authentic, and a taste of local culture.
