Los mejores paseos para disfrutar con niños en Vallarta

When we go on vacation with our children, those of us who are parents know that we are not as free as any other traveler who decides to explore the world without limits. It’s not a torment, of course, but when deciding where to go and what to do, consideration must be given, as there are places that are dangerous for them; others, on the other hand, will make our little ones get tired.

If the destination is the Mexican Pacific, in Puerto Vallarta there are hundreds of alternatives to enjoy with the little ones, without putting them in danger or making them too tired.

As those of us who are familiar with children know, even if just a little, for most of them, there is nothing better than beaches. Yes, of course! Running to avoid getting hit by waves, building sandcastles, and braving the water are, without a doubt, the favorite activities of the little ones. Some of the beaches you can visit with your children are Garza Blanca, Boca de Tomatlán, Boca de Tomates, Los Camarones, and Conchas Chinas. All of them have gentle waves, which reduces risks by half. Your children will be able to enjoy the white sandy shores and calm waters, knowing there’s no real danger, as the greatest power of the Pacific waters is held back by the surrounding bays, and in Vallarta, only the last movements of those endless waves reach. Each of the mentioned beaches offers tourist services so that you won’t lack anything during the day.

Another alternative that will surely fascinate them is swimming with dolphins. For this type of activity, there is no age limit, unlike many other ecotourism activities. The little ones will be able to enjoy the company of these sweet mammals, swim with them, pet them, feed them, and even become “trainers for a day.” What’s the best moment? Yes, of course! The dolphin’s kiss.

Children aged five and up can explore the tropical forests of the Sierra Madre Occidental on horseback, accompanied by their parents or a specialized guide. They will have the chance to stroll among immense trees, cross streams, and enjoy close contact with the most exotic species of the Mexican Pacific. Parents can rest assured, as most of these places are, of course, enclosed circuits.

What child doesn’t love water? A water amusement park is another option. Which one? Aquaventuras. There, you will find everything from 80-meter-long water slides to small, colorful pools for the littlest ones.

Lastly, to crown your stay, a boat trip on the Marigalante is almost a must. The little ones will enjoy the most thrilling pirate stories while living an unforgettable adventure in the very scenarios where the protagonists of these tales plundered cities and raided ships.

Enjoy an unforgettable vacation with your children. You and they deserve it. Come to Puerto Vallarta!
