Contrary to popular belief your yearly
resolution to keep active does not have to wane on holiday. With an abundance
of activities on land, water and in the air on offer in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera
Nayarit, its time to uncover the destination’s highlights, guaranteed to ensure
an adventure like no other…
Featuring miles of vibrant jungle, intertwined with striking mountainous
ranges, what better way to experience this part of Mexico than by zip lining through
the tree bed in Puerto Vallarta. Experience the rush of gliding from a high
point back to base level, taking in the sensational view as you go. This
excursion can be done with Vallarta Adventures, who offer a chance to travel on
Mexico's longest and fastest zip line, which is nearly 4,000 feet in length and
reaches speeds of up to 60 mph!
You can
also be one of the first people to test out the latest pioneering technology and
try flyboarding. This exhilarating activity uses over 400 pounds of lift to
defy gravity and propel an individual up into the air. The once-in-a-lifetime
feeling of flying into the sky, or soaring through the water by jet is made
possible by Vallarta Adventures. With trained instructors on hand for 30 minute
sessions this is sure to indulge extreme sports fans and thrill-seekers.
If that doesn’t fill your adrenaline quota try off-roading through the
jungle in Puerto Vallarta. Vallarta Adventures also offer the opportunity to
test your off-road driving skills and navigate the rugged jungle floor, zooming
across rocky river beds, uneven foliage and climbing up hills in a daring Polaris
RZR UTV.
Over in neighbouring Riviera Nayarit there are also plenty of
opportunities to stay active and indulge your competitive side at this time of
year. From 12th-
16th March 2015, the pristine beach at the world-famous Hard Rock
Hotel plays host to the IV International Beach Polo Cup. This glamorous event
draws in an impressive crowd looking to watch the exciting competition unfold
and learn tips from the masters of the sport.
Sailing
enthusiasts will also be thrilled as from March 3-7th 2015 the 23rd
annual Banderas Bay Regatta is set to take place in Nuevo Vallarta, Riviera
Nayarit. This regatta is one of the biggest cruiser regattas in the world,
combining an exhilarating mix of short and long course races. As well as great
racing, visitors are guaranteed a fun filled week of music, gastronomy and
camaraderie on the shores of the Pacific.
Banderas Bay is also a fantastic destination for scuba diving. Dive in

lobsters, turtles and octopus, to dolphins, eels and manta rays. The best sites

of a series of rocks which provide a diverse mix of technical dive challenges below
the surface including wall and cave diving - the ultimate eco adventure.
