Highlights

Sunset Sea Turtle Release – A Puerto Vallarta Conservation Adventure Join local conservationists on the beaches of Puerto Vallarta as you witness the magical moment when baby sea turtles make their first journey to the ocean. This unforgettable sunset experience blends natural beauty, hands-on learning, and a unique opportunity to support vital wildlife preservation efforts along Mexico’s Pacific coast. Releasing baby sea turtles into the sea isn’t just a dream come true for nature lovers—it’s a meaningful way to contribute to the survival of these incredible creatures. Guided by dedicated biologists, you'll gain a deeper understanding of sea turtle behavior, their life cycle, and the challenges they face in the wild. As you walk to the turtle camp, you’ll also have the chance to learn about the surrounding mangrove ecosystems—an essential and often overlooked part of coastal conservation. It’s an immersive, inspiring adventure that connects you to nature in the most memorable way.

About Puerto Vallarta

Cobbled streets, a seaside boardwalk and jungle-clad mountains give Puerto Vallarta, on Mexico's Banderas Bay, its easy Pacific charm.

The Malecón, a long seafront boardwalk lined with bronze sculptures, links the old town with restaurants, bars and galleries, and the parish church of Guadalupe crowns the centre with its distinctive crown-topped tower. The Romantic Zone, south of the Cuale River, has cobbled lanes, Los Muertos Beach and its pier, and a lively evening scene.

Top-ranked sights in Puerto Vallarta: Banderas Bay (Bahía de Banderas), El Malecon, Los Arcos National Marine Park.
