At Las Caletas, adults can easily get into the celebratory mood with a Wine and Mezcal tasting, as well as with an open bar that accompanies your entire beach day.
Your children will find all sorts of activities adapted specifically for them at our Kids Adventure Park, and as a family, you can explore the calm waters on a paddleboard or kayak.
In preparation for your evening celebrations, this tour allows you to nap in one of the shaded hammocks strung between palms—the perfect way to recharge so you can enjoy your 4th of July in Vallarta

Combo: Outdoor Adventure & Los Arcos Snorkeling
You might be unable to contain your excitement about enjoying a 4th of July vacation in Vallarta, and that’s understandable.
If you’re just too excited to relax, you can celebrate with an incredible Outdoor Adventure & Los Arcos Snorkeling experience. This is one of the best things to do in Vallarta on the 4th of July for active families who can’t get enough of Mexico’s natural beauty.
This tour begins with you crossing the bay on a speedboat toward the iconic Los Arcos National Park. You’ll get a good look at the marine sanctuary’s incredible crystal-clear waters, impressive rock formations, and abundant marine life.
Once you’re all set up with your snorkeling gear, jump off the boat to explore the underwater world, admire schools of tropical fish, and, with some luck, even spot an occasional sea turtle or eagle ray.
For the other part of this amazing tour, you hop on board the speedboat once more and head to the lush jungles of Puerto Vallarta, where you’ll soar through the treetops in a canopy zipline ride and rappel along a waterfall.
The freedom you’ll feel makes this one of the best things to do in Vallarta on the 4th of July.
