Paddleboarding
Paddleboarding has become one of the favorite activities in Puerto Vallarta, and it’s easy to see why. Glide peacefully across the waters of Banderas Bay, enjoy panoramic views of Los Arcos, and with a bit of luck, you might spot dolphins playing in the distance. This activity combines exercise, relaxation, and an intimate connection with nature.
