However, that reality is very different now! A hotspot among Hollywood stars in the 1960s, it\u2019s now accessible for the wider public. Holidaymakers flock to this gorgeous part of the Jalisco Coast to experience its white sand beaches, local food, and its plethora of water sports on offer.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, we\u2019ll take a look at the best water sports experiences on offer in Puerto Vallarta. Hopefully, it\u2019ll make it easier for you to plan your trip and decide which exhilarating activity you\u2019re going to try first!<\/p>\n<h2>Stand up Paddle Boarding<\/h2>\n<p>The fastest growing water sport in the world has made its way to Puerto Vallarta. Stand up paddle boarding started in Hawaii, and it\u2019s one of the more relaxed and tranquil board sports\u2026 At least it can be! If it\u2019s your first time, consider taking a lesson with a local instructor. They\u2019ll help you to master the basics.<\/p>\n<p>Wondering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gilisports.com\/blogs\/sup-expert-advice\/how-to-paddle-board-the-beginners-guide-to-sup-basics\">what size paddle board is right for you<\/a>? It can be tricky to decide, as paddle boards come in all different shapes and sizes. It helps to know what you\u2019re going to use it for first though \u2013 for example, will you use it casually, are you going to surf, or even practice yoga or fishing on it!<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you use it for, SUP is great fun and an awesome workout for your core.<\/p>\n<h3>Sea Kayaking<\/h3>\n<p>Another way to see Puerto Vallarta from the sea is by kayaking. Kayak adventures mean that you\u2019ll be just metres above rays, sea turtles, and tropical fish. Paddle out to the islands of Costalegre and find secluded coves to pull into and explore the islands and all their beauty. There are a few tour operators which offer sea kayaking \u2013 perfect if you don\u2019t have your own kayak or don\u2019t feel comfortable heading out on your own.<\/p>\n<h3>Surfing<\/h3>\n<p>The Jalisco Coast is one of the best surf spots in Mexico, with excellent waves year round. Finding the best places to surf in Jalisco means you\u2019ll have to head out of Puerto Vallarta itself. However, if you\u2019re willing to spend the time and money to get to somewhere like Sayulita, you\u2019ll certainly reap the rewards. Packed with expats and tourists who have all come to enjoy the surf, you can pick up some cheap lessons here \u2013 or just head straight out into the water if you\u2019ve already got some experience. As well as Sayulita, La Cruz de Loreto and San Pancho offer some great waves.<\/p>\n<h3>Snorkelling<\/h3>\n<p>What\u2019s the best way to see the exquisite biodiversity in the waters around Puerto Vallarta without having to scuba dive? Snorkelling, of course! You probably won\u2019t want to do this at the city centre beaches, as there\u2019s a lot of human activity that marine life strays away from. However, there are some great spots in Banderas Bay. One such spot is Los Arcos, with lobsters, octopuses, and of course tropical fish, all being present below these spectacular rock formations. Las Marietas boasts another varied ecosystem off the Puerto Vallarta coast, where you\u2019ll see an underwater paradise with needlefish and turtles. If you\u2019re really lucky, in some places you may get to snorkel with wild dolphins! Snorkelling tours are a great option for those travelling with the family.<\/p>\n<h3>Parasailing<\/h3>\n<p>Want to get the adrenaline flowing above Puerto Vallarta Beach? Parasailing might just be the activity for you. Attached to a parachute, you\u2019ll be pulled along by a speedboat, from which you\u2019ll get spectacular views of the bay below you. Parasailing usually lasts for around 15 minutes, so it\u2019s easy to squeeze it in to your itinerary. Even if you\u2019re visiting from a cruise ship!<\/p>\n<h3>Jet skiing<\/h3>\n<p>What\u2019s the quickest and most exhilarating way to skip along the Puerto Vallarta Coast, feeling the breeze and spray of the Pacific Ocean on your face, while taking in the jungle like surroundings? Jet skiing, of course! With several places in town offering rentals, you can take one out for a spin close to town, or even better, take a jet-ski safari where you\u2019ll stop off at several beauty spots such as Playa Colomitos cove. Integrate other activities such as snorkelling or swimming before zipping back to Puerto Vallarta town at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<h3>Flyboarding<\/h3>\n<p>Want to fly above the water? Flyboarding is an extreme sport which will see you shoot straight into the air propelled by the thrust of a jet ski. It\u2019s up to you if you want to fly 20 metres into the air, or dive as deep as you can go!<\/p>\n<h3>Whale Watching<\/h3>\n<p>Okay, not strictly a water sport. However, whale watching is something that many people have on their bucket lists. So why miss a chance to tick it off?! Visit from December to March to increase your chances of coming face to face with a humpback whale. These gentle giants will make a memory that is sure to be etched into your mind forever!<\/p>\n<h3>Final Thoughts on Water Sports Experiences you can enjoy in Puerto Vallarta<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019re one step closer to planning your trip to Mexico.
