Beautiful Fun Day
Las Caletas was beautiful and relaxing lots of activities to choose from and wonderful food and drinks. Water is warm ans clear with tons of fish to see. The trip back was highlighted by the performance from Danny and the crew. We loved it. A must do activity when visiting Puerto Vallarta. I have booked several tours with the Adventures group ( Cabo and Vallarta) and have never been disappointed.
Response from the operator: Hola Ken, It’s wonderful to hear that Las Caletas gave you such a fun and relaxing day! We’re glad you enjoyed the clear, warm water, the fish, and the variety of activities, along with the food and drinks. And we love knowing that Danny and the crew made the trip back especially memorable with their performance. Thank you for continuing to choose the Adventures Group in both Cabo and Vallarta—we truly appreciate your continued support. We hope to see you on another adventure soon! 🌴 Warm regards,

BUYER BEWARE!
🚨 BUYER BEWARE — DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY! 🚨 I would give ZERO stars if I could. Our group of six booked an excursion directly with this company and paid over $700. AFTER they accepted our booking and took our money, we were told that because we were arriving on a cruise ship, we were required to book the excursion through the cruise line instead. We were told to cancel our direct reservation and that we would receive a refund. We followed THEIR instructions, canceled the reservation, and then paid for the same excursion a second time through Royal Caribbean. We canceled in February 2026. It is now September 2026 — SEVEN MONTHS LATER — and they STILL have not refunded our $700+! I have sent email after email trying to get this resolved. For months I was told they were working on the refund. Now they have simply stopped responding to me altogether. To be clear: We canceled because THEY told us we needed to book through the cruise line. We did not use the excursion we purchased directly from them, and seven months later they are still holding more than $700 of our money. Seven months is beyond reasonable. Ignoring a customer who is owed more than $700 is completely unacceptable. If you are considering booking with this company, PLEASE BE CAREFUL. Based on our experience, I absolutely would not book with them again. I will gladly update this review if and when our refund is finally issued. Until then, I strongly recommend booking elsewhere.

We loved Las Caletas!!
This was our first excursion during our trip and it did not disappoint!! The ride to/from the private beach was so fun thanks to the staff. Herman took great pictures of us and the entertainers did a great lipsync of The Black Eyed Peas!! There were so many team members ready to help once you reached the island. It was easy to get drinks throughout the day. The water was so beautiful! It was easy to relax before doing the activities. The food was so fresh!! It is a designated lunchtime right before leaving the private beach.
Response from the operator: Hola Morgan, It makes us so happy to know Las Caletas was the first highlight of your trip! There’s something special about arriving at a place where you can simply slow down, have fun, and enjoy being together. We’re especially glad Herman and our entertainment team added those little moments that made your day feel personal. We hope Las Caletas stays among your favorite memories of Puerto Vallarta! 💛🌴 Warm regards,

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Puerto Vallarta Las Caletas, Adventure Park & Lunch with Open Bar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Puerto Vallarta Las Caletas, Adventure Park & Lunch with Open Bar cost?
+
Prices start at $109 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Puerto Vallarta Las Caletas, Adventure Park & Lunch with Open Bar take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.
Is Puerto Vallarta Las Caletas, Adventure Park & Lunch with Open Bar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 848 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Puerto Vallarta Las Caletas, Adventure Park & Lunch with Open Bar?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Puerto Vallarta Las Caletas, Adventure Park & Lunch with Open Bar suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Puerto Vallarta Las Caletas, Adventure Park & Lunch with Open Bar?
+
Around 297 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Puerto Vallarta Las Caletas, Adventure Park & Lunch with Open Bar start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Taco Adventure Evening Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
