Vallarta Adventures runs the ship's tour. This is a tree-top-to-tree-top excursion with a rapple to the ground at the end.

 

Puerto Vallarta Tours.net is a third party tour broker. They don't actually run any excursions. You go to them to purchase ship's tours that are not available to cruisers. Arrive on a ship and you cannot buy a Vallarta Adventures tour direct from them (at the normal tourist rates), you buy the tour from brokers like Puertovallartatours.net or vallartaonline.com

 

Canopytours-vallarta operates the Los Veranos zipline "canopy tour" excursion. This is a basic thrill ride on long lines that span a river valley several hundred feet up.

 

I've done the Vallarta Adventures excursion once and the Los Veranos excursion twice. The two excursions are called canopy tours but only the one run by Vallarta Adventures matches the form and style of the original Costa Rican excursion. Los Veranos is the most popular tour at the moment due to the variety of times offered and the post-excursion activities available at the excursion site (swimming, restaurant, tequila tasting).

 

Enjoy!

We went on the Los Veranos canopy tour and absolutely loved it. Will be returning this winter during a PV land vacation.

We did Los Veranos in June 2006 and El Eden (not on your list) on Thanksgiving day (last week). I would recommend either of these. Great fun, beautiful surroundings!

DH and 16 and 14 year old DD's had a great time last week at Los Veranos. They'd do it again. They purchased the DVD and we've had a great time watching their daring adventure.

Does anyone know from experience if the canopy zipline has a single seat or can 2 ride together, we are going next week and just wondered.

Thanks

The two that we have been on (Los Veranos & El Eden) are singles... you go by yourself, one at a time. I haven't seen one that is a double.

We did the one through booked through Princess (the actual company was Vallarta Adventures) and it was single, as well. BTW, it was a blast!

 

Have fun.
