Puerto Vallarta Sunset Cruise and Candlelight Dinner Show
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
By night, Las Caletas is transformed into a magical paradise and the perfect setting for this exclusive evening excursion. Rhythms of the Night is an amazing journey that will transport you to a spiritual land that time forgot. History, culture and natural beauty make for an unforgettable night out in Puerto Vallarta.
Your Puerto Vallarta adventure begins with a scenic sunset cruise across Banderas Bay to the isolated cove of Las Caletas. Upon arrival, you'll feel like you have journeyed back to a time of mysticism and legend. Flickering torches, gently lapping seas, swaying palms and music mingles set the mood as you follow a torch-lit path that leads you past live portrayals of forgotten rituals and customs.
The enticing aromas of grilled steak, chicken and fish will lure you towards secluded beach side tables bathed in the soft glow of candles. Enjoy dinner accompanied by freshly prepared vegetables, salads and handmade tortillas. A dessert buffet is also included, featuring brownies, pie, a traditional rice pudding dish, and plenty of fresh cut tropical fruit.
Enjoy this unique dining experience as the ocean laps at your feet, palms sway overhead and your waiter silently caters to your every whim. Lingering over coffee and dessert, the pulsing beat of native drums summon you to an outdoor amphitheater. Here, prepare to be captivated by a mesmerizing performance that will leave you breathless.
In a hypnotic performance that will keep you spellbound, the stories of an ancient civilization are revealed through music and dance as one of Mexico's most innovative contemporary dance troupes take you on a magical and mystical journey through time. After the show, you'll have time to relax before dancing under the stars on the short cruise back to your point of departure.
This exclusive excursion is distinctly different from other nightlife activities in Puerto Vallarta and promises an enchanted evening that you'll never forget!
I had done this one before but wanted to share it with my husband. Really enjoyable, and the island is magical. Food was good, not great...buffet style. Show was a bit corny but fun.

Great evening for the family.

This is something you have to see while visiting Puerto Vallarta!! Sunset cruise with candlelight dinner and show does NOT describe this, you have to see it to believe it. Whatever I write here will not begin to do this adventure justice 4000 candles hand lit and glowing when you land on this beach is breathtaking, the show is a mixture story telling, acrobatics and island fire dancing plus much more. This place seriously looks like a Disney World set, it's immaculate and beautiful everywhere you look. We were blown away by the overall experience, but don't go for the dinner, the food is not the main attraction. A true must see from Vallarta Adventures !!!

We booked this based upon strong reviews, and were not disappointed. The buffet dinner had a lot of variety and great taste and the show was entertaining with great costumes and props to enrich the entertainment. The Vallarta Tours staff were attentive and fun. We loved the boat ride home when they surprised us with a show of their own...what a hoot! Would strongly recommend.

The boat trip, food, show and boat staff were out of this world. Loved the music that was played during dinner, great views of the ocean. The show started off a little confusing at first but got much better as it went on. Great theatrical lighting and effects and the performers were top notch. Think one got hurt during but not sure. The biggest complaint I had was checking in to get the boat passes. People were telling us to go different places, couldn't hear people on the microphones to board boat and just all in all confusing. I am still wondering why we had to pay an extra fee to get in only like a dollar or so and why it wasn't included in the price of the ticket.

You arrive on a cruise boat where you are entertained before your arrival for the dinner show. The staff is absolutely wonderful, always smiling and very gracious. The show was entertaining with acrobats flying above your heads. After the show, there is a buffet style dinner with a variety of food choices. Going back in two years and this is a must see again for us.

This tour was not exactly what i expected but I'm rating it a five because it was very enjoyable. The boat ride was what was different than expected . I guess I thought it was going to be a sunset ride._br/_ The food was outstanding and the service while eating was also. The show was good too.
Review by: Joseph L, February 2018
Fantastic evening cruising the across the bay. The show was so much fun and the dinner buffet was wonderful. What a fun way to spend an evening in Puerto Vallarta.
Review by: Joseph F, February 2018
Had this this tour been labelled Rhythm of the night tour it would have received a higher rating. Unfortunately, I was led to believe it would be a sunset set cruise -- which it really is not ! The 7pm departure should have given me a clue. With all that said -- The show at the amphitheater was excellent and the meal provided after the show was good. The crew on the boat did a great job entertaining us all on the ride back. Overall - I would recommend this tour if you do not care about the sunset aspect. But if this is what you are looking for choose something else.

Very nice

From start to finish, this tour will keep you intrigued! The crew on your boat will keep you entertained on the 45min trek to Caletas, upon arrival you are guided into the island by lighted torches and candles. Greeted by swaying hammocks and hidden cast members you are welcomed and settled into your beach front table. From there, you noche on a beautiful buffet dinner featuring fresh salads, roasted vegetables and grilled meats and fishes. All prepared and seasoned well. Oh and did I mention the dessert buffet, fantastic! _br/_ As your finishing your meal with the sun setting in the background you hear the gong! It's time to make your way to the theatre. _br/_ Again guided by a candlelight path you dive deeper into the jungle until you come upon the amphitheater. Once seated, the show begins. Dancers, fire artists, contortionist! It's like a show out of vegas only your sitting in the jungle. Amazing _br/_ From there, you re-board the ship and head back. Hopefully you get JC and his crew, because if you do you are in for a treat!

This trip was definitely enjoyable. Or Uber driver did not speak English and brought us to the wrong port. But I called Vallarta Adventures who spoke to him and sent him to the correct place. Upon arrival, we were directed by a pirate to exit the security gate and cross the street to exchange our evoucher. This was not necessary as the exchange desk is located to the right inside the security gate. The trip across the bay was entertaining and arrival at the beach was clearly planned. We were seated at the small stadium and waited for the one hour show, really excellent. Dinner was buffet style with a nice assortment all clearly labeled and fresh. We sat on the beach so wear appropriate shoes, also walking around the island would be tough with heels. Our trip in January was a bit chilly, so the boat staff provided blankets for the return trip. Be prepared to pay a small port entry fee and tip the boat staff and dinner waiter.

It was the greatest show, amazing food, excellent service. If you go at night take a jacket the ride back can be a bit chilly.
Review by: judylapointe, December 2017
I was absolutely amazed at the Cirque du Soleil quality show! It was fantastic! The island was magical as it was entirely lit with candle and torch light only! Make sure you go on a nice weather day because you may get to eat your dinner right on the sandy beach! We were serenaded by a talented trio which we loved at dinner! And this boat ride was spectacular! The staff were so talented! This was a very impressive tour and I highly recommend it!
Review by: don433498, November 2017
THIS WAS A GREAT SHOW, WE WERE ON BOAT 4 WITH CJ AND HIS CREW, THEY KEPT UP INFORMED, SERVED AND ENTERAINED BOTH COMING AND GOING BACK. THE WALK FROM THE PIER TO THE SHOW WAS A LITTLE FAR AND THEN BACK TO THE DINE. ABOUT THE ONLY THING NOT MENTION IN YOUR OVERVIEW WAS 1 THE PORT FEE TO ENTER THE PICK UP AREA 50.00 PESO AND THE LACK ON CAB'S UPON RETURN. RECOMMEND THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THE FIRST OFF THE BOAT AN WALK FAST TO ENSURE THAT A CAB IS THERE. ONE OF THE BEST SHOW WE HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE.

Amazing evening, even though it was raining! From the boat ride, to the show to the delicious dinner! Loved every second of it and when we return next year we will do it again! Thank you!!

Drinks taste like water on the boat.

Very entertaining!!
Review by: utahwineschool, July 2017
Worth every penny. So much fun! Food was great, entertainment was fantastic. Great activity for a group of friends or family.
Review by: keywasted, June 2017
This is an amazing experience and will take this tour the next time we are in Puerto Vallarta.
Review by: lynnmorgan, May 2017
A very nice evening experience. The Boat ride over was relaxing with snacks good thing because we didn't eat dinner till after the show and drinks. The show was excellent! Great acrobatics with fantastic costumes. My only complaint was that we had to sit on benches for about an hour with no backs -- I find that extremely uncomfortable. After the show, we went to the buffet dinner, which was surprisingly good. I thought I would fall asleep on the boat ride back, but the crew kept us totally entertained performing karaoke to Queen music -- funny and entertaining. They served more drinks on the way back. If you like to drink a lot, this is probably a good tour for you! Even if not, it was very nice. Glad we did it. I guess it's kind of romantic, but not so much when it's a group of girl friends.

Excellent!! Food was wonderful, show was fabulous!!
Review by: Ray S, March 2017
This is an excellent dinner, show and entertainment. A positively exhilarating experience.
Review by: Kristin M, February 2017
Excellent! Loved this! The entertainment on the boat ride was fun too! David and the rest of the staff put on a little show and definitely kept us laughing. One thing I didn't know was that some groups eat before the dinner show and others after the show. We ate after, but I would have preferred to eat first and I didn't know there was a choice when I bought the tickets. Also, bring a sweater for the boat ride out. It can get chilly.
Review by: Jeff B, February 2017
From start to finish, this was a very enjoyable experience. The crew on Boat 5 was phenomenally nice and entertaining and, Oh! My Gosh!, Caletas was absolutely stunningly beautiful. The shore side candlelit dinner was incredible not only the view but the food as well. Then, to top it off, the Rhythm of the Night show was spectacular. Funny, exciting, visually alluring, and had great performers. _br/_ All in all, this was the pinnacle of our Puerto Vallarta experience.
Review by: Brian S, January 2017
Word of Caution -- although Viator says Paid and Confirmed YOU MUST CALL THE DAY BEFORE TO A NUMBER IN THE FINE PRINT or they say you are NOT confirmed and cannot go. After 20 minutes at the harbor of begging an calls they let us go. A 50 minute boat ride across the bay with an open bar. The show was great and then you go and have dinner. Buffet style which had excellent food and ours was in a private seating area overlooking the bay.
Review by: Lance B, January 2017
Great evening! Kevin and the crew were great and a lot of fun! Show was very cool and meal was yummy with awesome views! Very glad we decided on this one!

Review by: Michael S, January 2017
The people and shows were first rate. All was well organized. Food and drink was good, but not 5 star. Overall fabulous time. Highly recommend.
Review by: Sheri M, January 2017
This dinner/show was one of the highlights of our trip! The whole experience was nice! I was really impressed with the details they gave to setting a nice atmosphere for the dinner as well as the whole area from the time you leave the boat to when you return to it including underwater lights, mermaids, hammocks in the surf, music during dinner, candles everywhere, etc.. The show was amazing and the performers had high energy and were well rehearsed. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

Review by: grace.garcia6960, October 2016
YOU MUST TAKE THIS TOUR!!!! My fiancee and I had such a great time. The sunset cruise was lovely. So relaxing and they give you free alcohol. The show was amazing. When we pulled up to the island there were tiki torches galore and even an actual mermaid to greet us. It was magical. The food was great. The atmosphere was wonderful. Everyone was so friendly. On the boat ride home we were even treated to a talent show by the staff! You can tell they really love what they do. Boat 4 rules! PLEASE TAKE THIS TOUR! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!:

Very well done and the food was very good.
Review by: Kelly, August 2016
This is an awesome tour! The show is out Cross the bay in a tropical bay. It was magical! We had a candle light dinner on the beach. The food was wonderful and the service was superior!! We will do this tour again!
Review by: MARY C, August 2016
Show was absolutely fantastic!!!! Food was awesome. Wait staff was wonderful. Will go again.
Review by: Richard N, August 2016
A must see. The food is excellent, the entertainment equally as good. The boat ride was a joy as well. This was in many ways as good as any Hollywood production or Vegas top show. Service excellent. A super value for the price vs value.
Review by: Neal Y, July 2016
This was an excellent experience. The show was great but the real experience was the romantic candlelight dinner on the beach with my girlfriend. Would definitely do again!
Review by: Deanne G, June 2016
This was an amazing excursion and we thoroughly enjoyed it! It is well worth the money we spent and more. The boat ride to/from was just as fun and entertaining. Truly a worthwhile dinner and show. The dinner was more than enough and plenty of choices of foods and the entertainment of performers were top notch. I would do this again for sure.
Review by: Chelsea B, June 2016
It was a wonderful evening for my husband and I on our honeymoon. Everything is set-up great and the evening runs very smooth. The show was great as well as all the people we met!
Review by: Toimi M, May 2016
The entire evening was well planned. Entertainment and meal was outstanding. Even the boat to and from the event was fun.
Review by: Mark B, May 2016
Boat trip was great! Rum punch is fabulous. The entertainers were very talented and the meal was great
Review by: Oneal W, May 2016
We took this tour on April 27, 2016. It was a blast and well worth the cost. We were on the smaller Boat 2 and enjoyed the boat ride over and the entertainment the crew provided. David was a real hoot! Every aspect from the boat ride to the finale was superb. PS: Be sure to review your reservation thoroughly. We did not realize we had to confirm our reservation once we arrived in Mexico and thus lost our spot on the 26th. It all worked out great!!
Review by: recuperadoratk, May 2016
wow amazing tour
Review by: Valery N, March 2016
The boat crew to and from were a great time in itself. The buffet dinner was in a beach setting that has the sunset, ocean and candlelight everywhere. The show itself was beautiful. Music, dancing, acrobatic feats and lots of fire. Very enjoyable!
Review by: Alvin R, February 2016
Wonderful show and dinner. Well worth the money. You may do dinner first or last depending on your arrival time.
Review by: Paulette G, February 2016
This was an amazing experience. Food was excellent, show was awesome. Even the boat ride had entertainment that was fun. I would recommend this to anyone. Truly memorable.
Review by: dfwynnemd, January 2016
The show was even better than it was 2 years ago, the boat trip over to the destination was pleasant, and the dinner was good. We will probably take this trip again next year !!!
