What people are saying about Nayarit

The ATVing through the beautiful scenery was a definite, unexpected highlight of our time in Puerto Vallarta. We loved zooming through puddles and over muddy hills. The team at Canopy River were patient and made sure everyone was comfortable and knew what they were doing. Expect to get a little dirty especially if it’s just rained. The zip lining was great but keep in mind there’s a weight limit. My husband was told he couldn’t do the zip line because of a weight issue, they didn’t tell us what that limit was but looked at him and said he was over it - he’s 6ft6in so is definitely a big guy so we can understand it but it was a bit disappointing to do the zipping alone. There is a restaurant onsite at Canopy River which is 250 pesos / $12.50 for the buffet if you get hungry and there’s also an opportunity to do tequila tasting and swim in a beautiful pool if you want to stay in the mountains longer.

A must see and do combo activities extravaganza. Polite and helpful guides, beautiful Horseback ride through the river to a waterfall with plenty of great places for pictures and under tree-lined rock-river jungle, family friendly and lunch at the end was delicious. We also ziplined through the camp above the river on 7 different cable lines, super fun. The ATV our tour through quaint, cobblestone town, fields and on a main road was exhilarating! Highly recommend and please tip the awesome crews.

LOVED this combo experience with horseback riding, Ziplining and ATV riding. Don't expect "usa quality" of equipment etc - but the whole experience is definitely delightful! Highly recommend for couples/families with or without younger children. The drinks afterwards and the food were AMAZING and so were the guides all along! My daughter and I enjoyed every minute of this 3-combo experience!

What a fun day! We chose to do all three activities. I think the ziplining was my favorite. The views were stunning! The staff was incredibly friendly and made the day extra fun. Good food and good times. Highly recommend.

Great day with a great crew. Would definitely recommend
