I was one of the few new visitors after the recent re-opening (due to Covid) and everything was safe - everyone was wearing masks, sanitizers everywhere etc. The garden itself is gorgeous, loads of lovely flowers, birds, plants.. The food was fantastic.. recommended !”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 43 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $59

Explore Puerto Vallarta Botanical Garden with a university-educated guide, jungle trails, native plants, and a refreshing river swim.

“We chose what was advertised as a five-star botanical garden tour, but in reality, we ended up spending nearly 45 minutes on a public bus just to get there. Once we arrived, the guide gave us a detailed 20-minute explanation about the vanilla bean. He was definitely professional and knowledgeable, but you really needed a lot of patience to sit through it all. Honestly, it just didn’t match our expectations and felt a bit too lengthy for what we had in mind.”

Explore Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens with a small-group guide, coffee tasting, mountain views, vanilla plants, and useful time to wander.

“My 1/2 day tour of the botanical garden was so much more than I expected. The garden is huge but very well organized. You will see flowers and plants that you’ve never seen beautifully displayed. However, what makes the trip special is the guide. Jimmy was so engaging from the bus ride to the garden to the end of the tour when he gave me several options for continuing my time there. He shared information about the gardens, Puerto Vallarta, and the history of the region that was fascinating. I had considered wandering the garden without a guide but doing the tour with an experienced guide was such an enriching…”
