Adventures

When you’re ready to tap into your adventurous side, Hyatt Ziva has you covered. Cool off in one of four infinity pools or an adults-only pool — or sip a cocktail at the swim-up bar. Explore hidden coves along the coast aboard kayaks that are included in your stay. Take the little ones to the KidZ Club for supervised activities. 

There are also optional extras for an additional cost. Relax and enjoy a rejuvenating treatment at the oceanfront spa. How about the comfort of a private cabana? Or take off on an excursion for exciting adventures and nearby eco-trips. The list of added activities feels endless. 

With all there is to do at the resort, you won’t need to leave. But if you do decide to venture off property to explore Puerto Vallarta, here are a few popular local activities and restaurants.*

A view of the city of Puerto Vallarta

Off-Site Things to Do

Downtown strolling and sampling

Puerto Vallarta proper is a compact city that’s great for walking and exploring, with a sculpture-lined pedestrian walkway called the Malecón boardwalk overlooking the Pacific. The 12-block boardwalk features ocean views and street performers. Sample taco stands, ceviche stalls, and other Mexican flavors on a tour that provides insights into the city and its history.

Snorkeling, whale watching, ATVs and other adventures

Head out into Banderas Bay on a boat trip to Los Arcos. The rocky outcrops in the ocean are a favorite spot to see parrot fish, angel fish, and sea turtles. Put on a snorkel and mask to join them swimming around the formations, then towel off on the deck with a view of Puerto Vallarta in the distance. Or hit an ATV tour to see the Sierra Madre mountains and a unique view of the sea. You can book a trip with a local company through your Excursions Desk.

Off-Site Restaurants

Café des Artistes

This long-established restaurant in the center of Puerto Vallarta is the original location of celebrity chef Thierry Blouet. He combines French cooking techniques with fresh local ingredients. And the menu features such memorable dishes as cream of prawn and pumpkin soup, and beef in a Camembert cheese and chipotle sauce. You can also choose a six-course chef's tasting menu with a vegetarian option.

Azafran

Located one block from the beach in Puerto Vallarta's Romantic Zone (one of the main districts for shops, vendors, galleries, and restaurants). The long-running fine dining spot has indoor and outdoor seating and a European slant to dishes, such as grilled fish, roasted pine nuts, and tomato chutney. The optional five-course tasting selection shows off the restaurant’s highlights, served at a relaxed pace.

Tintoque

This contemporary Mexican restaurant is in a shady riverside section of the Romantic Zone, offering a break from the bustle in an inviting building with an outdoor terrace. It consistently wins raves as one of the top special-occasion spots in Puerto Vallarta, with Instagram-worthy dishes served by candlelight.
