Puerto Vallarta Jungle Canopy Adventure: 19 Ziplines + Speedboat

Nineteen ziplines strung across the jungle canopy, the longest and highest in Mexico.

A full-day jungle activity in Puerto Vallarta where you zipline 19 courses above the Horcones River and jungle, ride a speedboat to the site, swim and kayak in natural river pools, taste house-made tequila, and walk through a rescue animal sanctuary. You choose speedboat or land transport to reach the canopy; the activity runs about five hours and includes the zipline course, water activities, round-trip transport and tequila tasting.

The Experience

The day starts with your choice: speedboat across Puerto Vallarta's coast to the jungle, or land transport through the coastal roads. Either way, you arrive at Los Veranos ready to clip into the first of 19 ziplines. They're strung across the canopy above the Horcones River, and the operator runs them as the highest and longest in Mexico — you're moving fast and high enough that the jungle floor stays far below. Bilingual guides handle the safety briefing and the setup; water stations sit along the course so you can catch your breath between runs.

After the ziplines, the river itself becomes the playground. You can kayak the calm sections, slide down the jungle waterslides, or wade into the natural pools to cool off. A meal and tropical cocktails wait at the open-air café by the river (optional purchase), and the tequila tasting happens with house-made blends you can sample without extra cost. The food menu runs to fajitas, salads, pizza and warm apple cake if you want to eat on-site.

The final stop is the animal sanctuary — rescued monkeys, toucans, reptiles and other species living on the grounds. It's not a zoo; it's part of the operator's eco-focused approach to the whole day. By the time you head back to your pickup point, you've covered the canopy, the river, the tequila and the animals in one outing.

Is this one for you?Book the speedboat option if you want the coastal views and the thrill of arriving by water; choose land transport if you're traveling with young children, are pregnant, or have heart or back concerns and want to focus on the river activities, tequila and sanctuary instead of the ziplines.

Top questions

How many ziplines will I actually ride on this activity?

You'll zipline on 19 courses across the canopy above the Horcones River and jungle — they're the highest and longest ziplines in Mexico, and bilingual guides manage the setup and safety at each one.

What's included in the price for this Puerto Vallarta zipline adventure?

The zipline course with water stations, kayaking and water slides on the river (weather permitting), round-trip transport by speedboat or land depending on your option, and a traditional tequila tasting are all included; meals and drinks at the café are optional purchases.

Can I bring my young children on the zipline canopy tour?

Children are welcome from age 5, as long as they're under 40 inches in height; the operator also offers land transport as an option for younger kids or anyone with heart or back concerns who'd prefer to skip the ziplines and enjoy the river activities and sanctuary instead.

Do I need to be very fit to do the 19 ziplines?

The operator asks for at least a moderate level of physical fitness; the activity is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, heart conditions, chronic back pain or shoulder problems, or anyone unable to walk up hills or steps.

What's the difference between the speedboat and land transport options?

The speedboat option gets you to the jungle by water with views of Puerto Vallarta's coast; land transport takes you through lush coastal roads instead — both are round-trip and included in the price, and the land route is suggested for pregnant women, young children or anyone with heart or back concerns.

How long does the whole activity take?

The activity runs approximately five hours from your selected pickup point; you'll want to arrive 15 minutes early, and bring a swimsuit, towel, sunscreen and comfortable shoes.
