Overview

Enjoy two experiences for one competitive price: a magical Bioluminescence Tour and a fun Nightlife Tour with Tequila Spray

We begin at 7:00 PM with a boat ride to Los Arcos de Mismaloya Marine Park, where the ocean glows at night with natural bioluminescence created by microscopic marine organisms. Guests may snorkel or relax on the boat while learning about the local marine ecosystem and wildlife.

At 9:00 PM, we continue into the vibrant nightlife of Zona Romántica and the famous Malecón Puerto Vallarta, visiting local taco stands, the snack section, bars, and other iconic spots around the city. Food is not included, so guests may order and pay for whatever they wish to try.

Although this is a group experience, the bioluminescence portion often feels almost private, since only 4 guests are required to operate the tour. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended, as the nightlife portion includes approximately 3 km of walking.
