Excellent zip line!
We did a zip line tour with Rafael and Charly and had the best time! They were both so friendly and accommodating and really made the experience great. Expect a fun time and great views on the zip line itself, this part of Mexico is so green and beautiful. The pick up spot was also very easy to locate and overall we had a great experience with River Park
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we're thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing zip line experience with Rafael and Charly. They will be delighted to know that their friendliness and attention made your adventure even more special. We're also happy you enjoyed the breathtaking views, lush green scenery, and convenient meeting location.

Adventure day with zip lines and ATV tour
We had a great time- our guides on the zip lines, Alex, Ridulfo, Charlie, and another in that group (name?) were awesome and so funny. The boys had a blast! Our ATV guide, Rafael, was also awesome! All around it was a great day of adventure to compliment our beach time! It was also awesome to support the local farming community!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review, We’re so glad you had a great time on the zip lines and ATV tour. We hope to see you again for another adventure!

River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 926 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride?
+
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 River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride?
+
Around 324 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride 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.
What is included in River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride?
+
Included: Bottled water; Safety instructions; Pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points; All necessary equipment; and Zipline tour. Not included: Food and drinks; DVD (available to purchase); Souvenir photos (available to purchase); and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride if the weather is bad?
+
