Exploring Puerto Vallarta’s Adventure Combo: ATV, Zip Line, and Mules
If you’re looking for a day packed with adrenaline, stunning scenery, and a taste of local flavor, this combo tour in Puerto Vallarta might just be what you need. We’re talking about a six-hour experience that combines off-road ATV rides, crossing the world’s longest suspension bridge, soaring on zip lines, and finishing with a mule ride and waterfall swim. It’s a full-on adventure that promises both excitement and fantastic views.
Two things we really appreciate about this experience are the expert-guided tours—the guides seem to genuinely know their stuff and add a lot of value—and the variety it offers. You get a little bit of everything: mountain adventures, water fun, and even some tequila tasting. The only thing to keep in mind is that it’s quite a physically active day, so it’s best suited for those who feel comfortable with moderate activity levels.
One potential downside? The tour lasts around 4 hours plus transfer time, which might feel tight if you prefer a more relaxed pace or are traveling with very young children. It’s also worth noting that the price of $276 might seem steep if you’re on a tight budget, but considering the variety and quality of activities included, many find it reasonable.
If you’re someone who loves a mix of adventure, breathtaking scenery, and a taste of local culture, this tour will likely suit you well. It’s especially ideal for active travelers eager to experience both land and water thrills in one go.

It’s a chance to unleash your adventurous side and enjoy spectacular views from above. Many reviews mention that the guides are very attentive and make sure everyone feels comfortable, even if you’re new to zip lining.
Following the adrenaline rush, a 15-minute mule ride offers a more relaxed way to wind down. It’s a gentle, scenic ride that takes you through beautiful terrain, adding a different flavor to your day. The ride wraps up with a tequila tasting, giving you a taste of local traditions and flavors—a perfect way to celebrate your adventure.
