The luxurious Grupo Mayan Mexican resorts are happy to welcome you to the beautiful town of Puerto Vallarta. While our guest, you will enjoy world class service, gourmet meals, and a plethora of family activities. While at your Grupo Mayan resort you will also be able to tour the local area. Puerto Vallarta is uniquely situated on the Mexican coast, surrounded by jungles and mountains. The town and surrounding areas are bursting with cultural experiences for you and your family. The Grupo Mayan staff recommends the following activities to make your time with us memorable.
- Whale, whales, and more whales. The waters off the Grupo Mayan resort are home to numerous species of ocean life. At the Bay of Banderas Grupo Mayan guests can go on a whale watching tour to see the majestic humpback whales native to the area. You will not only see humpback whales as the bay is also full of dolphins and manta rays.
- One of our Grupo Mayan guests´ favorite day trips is a trip to the jungle. You will not only see the local wildlife ñ you can get wild yourself with a canopy tour. These tours allow you to strap on a harness and ride a zip line above and through the jungle canopy. When Grupo Mayan guests return from this extreme adventure they vow to return again and again.
- If you have always wanted to swim with the dolphins, now is your chance. Local tour operators will give you a short instructional class and then take you in the waters of the bay to swim with the dolphins and sea lions. Not only will you swim with these marvelous creatures, you will also get to fed and touch them. This is a great family activity for children five years and older.
- The surrounding mountains of Puerto Vallarta are home to many indigenous peoples thought to be descendents of the Aztecs. A full day tour will take you and your family by helicopter to one of the mountain villages near Puerto Vallarta. You will be immersed in the daily village life and local customs of the village residents.
- A jeep safari tour is exciting for everyone. A jeep will take you and your family deep into the Mexican jungle where you will be able to see hundreds of species of birds and other local wildlife. Lucky guests may even spot one of the rare jungle jaguars. The jeep safaris are completely safe and led by trained guides.
The wonderful areas surrounding your Grupo Mayan resort will give you a glimpse into the wonderful Mexican countryside. All of the experiences you have, while a Grupo Mayan guest, will enrich your life forever. Whether you choose to fly over the jungle on a zip line or swim in the bay with the dolphins, you make lasting memories.
