So, you have made a wonderful decision and decided upon hosting your destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta! You have your guest list at the ready, but what will you do with your guests once you have them in Puerto Vallarta? Presumably no-one is flying in and out on the very day of the wedding, so you’ll want an activity or two to entertain the group and make their experience of your destination wedding one they will remember forever.
Luckily for you, Puerto Vallarta is a wonderfully diverse city which has a lot to offer to people of all persuasions and is a great location for destination weddings. Whether you want a day at a Spa Imagine, a tour, a booze cruise, or something more nature-orientated, you’ll be sure to find it in Puerto Vallarta.
Here are some of the best activities in Puerto Vallarta that are ideal for keeping your destination wedding guests happy during their stay.
Boat Excursions
Puerto Vallarta is right in the center of the picturesque Banderas Bay, and takes full advantage of this fact; there are dozens of different types of boat trips, tours, and booze cruises to enjoy in this city. If you want a great day or night out for your destination wedding guests, the Marigalante Pirate ship is a one-stop shop for your entertainment, food, and drinking needs.
The day trip is very family friendly and fun, while the night trip will really give the adults what they want; an open bar and delectable food is on offer alongside music, dancing, and no small amount of fireworks. The Rhythms of the night tour, too, is a group pleaser for destination weddings guests. The short trip to a private beach is lovely, and the meal that awaits you there is truly phenomenal, but it’s the pre-Hispanic themed dance show that really steals the limelight.
Swimming with Dolphins
Swimming with Dolphins is one of the most iconic vacation activities, and there are few better places to do it than Mexico. We’re sure that at least one or two of your destination wedding guests will be eager to take advantage of such an opportunity.
Day Trip to Yelapa
Yelapa is a charming little fishing town on Banderas Bay to the south of Puerto Vallarta which has no direct road access. You can charter a yacht to take you there, join a boat excursion or head there by your own steam taking a water taxi from Boca de Tomatlán.
A Day of Golf
The golf lovers amongst your party will adore Puerto Vallarta with its championship standard courses and clubs; why not fit in a round or two for the golf lovers, and find some loungers or a table at in the club for those who just want to relax?
Fishing
Fishing is not for everyone, we know that, but you don’t have to be a huge fan of fishing to appreciate a day out on the sparkling waters in a boat, under the Mexican sun. The waters here are very beautiful, and they are teeming with marine life of all kinds. If you want to catch a fish, or even see one, you really only need to have patience. Fishing combined with lounging on a yacht is a great choice to keep destination wedding guests happy.
Spa Day at Spa Imagine
Nothing will help you to relax with your destination wedding guests better than a day at the spa. Spending time together in Spa Imagine’s hydrotherapy circuit will bring you closer together while the stress of the planning process is massaged, cleansed, exfoliated, and smoothed away in a number of treatments. You could have the treatments before the wedding to ensure you look healthy and relaxed, or after the wedding to flush out all the good food and drink of the reception.
These are just a few of the things that you can do with your destination wedding guests in Puerto Vallarta.
