LS831 Posted April 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Has anyone been to Puerto Vallarta? I want to book an excursion and will need to get to the location by taxi. Is this a safe port to walk around and take a taxi out of town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted April 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Has anyone been to Puerto Vallarta? I want to book an excursion and will need to get to the location by taxi. Is this a safe port to walk around and take a taxi out of town? Yes, but we went to Las Caletas and left and returned to the port area. Plenty of people left the port area and got taxis on our sailing. The Mexican Riviera Board might be of more assistance. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=203 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedricandsophie Posted April 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Puerta Vallarta is wonderful. Go to the old town area, called the El Malecon boardwalk, which is a few miles from the port. The old town is lovely and the people could not be kinder. We go there once a year for a week and take a public bus all around. Always feel safe and charmed by the locals.

Rare BirdTravels Posted April 27, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Taxis are very cheap and safe. They will happily take US dollars. But the air conditioning is an open window which can be oppressively hot at time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well they are getting all new buses and they also have A/C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizDemeanor Posted April 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2018 The Boardwalk, if you have not researched it, is somehting special and I would recommend it as a very unique stretch of the beachfront, and an incredible artistic area of PV. A truly beautiful walk about on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phissy Posted April 28, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Our best excursion ever was with Ocean Friendly for whale watching. Best ever port on our Panama Canal Cruise. We booked it privately but saw others who booked from ship for twice the price. Check them out on Travelocity . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
