Shaded Hot Spring, Massage And Mex Grill In Puerto Vallarta

Prepare to be absolutely pampered!! Book with someone you have a beautiful connection with and this will provide a romantic quality and quiet experience.

Absolutely the most beautiful drive to the Hot Springs. Hot Springs was relaxing with a amazing grilled lunch. Our tour guide Juan was the best. His passion for the culture and Springs is very contagious.

Wow! Definitely a must do in Puerto Vallarta. This experience blew us away. The ride up to the hot springs was fun & informative. The hot springs were beautiful and so peaceful! It was an amazing time to reconnect with nature and spend quality time together. The meal was amazing, fresh veggies & fruit with yummy grilled meat. AND that’s not it. A great massage with the calming waves in the background. I highly recommend this experience to anyone in PV! And the best tour guide! So fun and friendly, this excursion made our trip!

This was a truly memorable experience. We enjoyed the thermal baths, a remarkable grilled lunch, and a wonderfully soothing massage on the beach—more than we could have expected. Jose Antonio is dedicated to the experience he builds for guests. His attention to detail and his wish for us to love Mexico were clear. He succeeded and exceeded expectations!! Anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta and nearby towns should share this experience. Gracias de todo corazón!! Claudia y Erik

So relaxing great to get out of the city the area is beautiful and our tour guide was great! The message on the beach received mixed reviews from our group but still well worth the tour!!!

We had a great experience on this tour. Lots of thought put into to the trip. Jose is engaging and encouraged us to select fresh fruits and vegetables that he later uses to cook a delicious meal. The drive had a balance of beauty, stops for a break, and was informative. The natural springs are remote, therapeutic, and serene. The massage was on the beach with the sound of the waves crashing in the background. The homemade chocolate treats at the end were an unexpected bonus. (Compliments of his wife, thank you!) I would highly recommend this trip if you want a low key, relaxing day. *We didn’t take pics at the springs or beach since we were just enjoying the atmosphere and relaxing.

This truly is a unique experience. Jose Antonio is truly knowledgeable about local culture , geography and history of this area. We were only the 4 of us our family and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot springs and the special meal prepares by Antonio. He took us to a local tortilla factory and we picked the vegetables and fruits. He made sure we got a good selection as we are vegetarian and grilled and prepared delicious meals. He then took us to Bucerías and we got one of the best massages by the local therapists on the beach. Highly recommend if you are looking for authentic and unique experience. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

This was one of our favorite things we did in Puerto Vallarta! Antonio was so friendly and we felt like we were being catered to by him. It was a day of relaxation. You don’t have to worry about lunch, because he does everything. The food was excellent! Then, the massage on the beach at the end of the day was the cherry on top.

Antonio and assistant Andrea were the best. So accommodating! Antonio was mindful of allergies, picked us up close to our stay, super pleasant and humorous! Made sure we were all hydrated along the way. Andrea always made sure to get our good side when taking pictures Can’t stop saying good things about them! They made the trip extra special!

Fantastic experience. If taking part in this excursion from a cruise ship, verify timing prior to booking. Tony was great, worked within our schedule constraints and we had an amazing day.

This is one of those truly special experiences that you almost want to keep secret. While the drive to the hot springs is a bit of a journey, the peace and tranquility waiting for you there make it completely worth it. We loved the stops at the local market and tortilla factory along the way, and how Tony personalized the experience by letting us help choose the fresh fruits and vegetables for the snacks and lunch he prepared — all of which was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect escape from the busy energy of the city. Spending a few quiet hours relaxing in nature and unwinding in our private pool was incredibly refreshing, and sharing fresh food and conversation with Tony made the experience feel even more meaningful. The massages on the way back were the perfect finishing touch, allowing us to stay relaxed just a little longer before returning to PV. Throughout the entire day, Tony added thoughtful little touches that showed how much he genuinely cares about creating a unique, personal, and memorable experience for his guests.

The best experience of the vacation to Puerto Vallarta. Charming and knowledgeable host, beautiful destination, and a much needed massage. I loved getting a glimpse into the life of the locals and picking out the produce we would enjoy later. The hot springs were relaxing and a break from the bustle of downtown PV. This is a highly recommended experience.

The activities were very well organized. Everything that was planned happened as advertised. Would recommend.

It was a nice educational and relaxing day. It was fun to see different areas of PV. The host is gracious and accommodating. He Made a delicious lunch and thought of every detail for the trip. If you like off the beaten path adventures. This one is a must.

Amazing day! In our top 2 experiences that we had in PV. Tony was an awesome guide and great chef. We loved learning a little more about regional history on the drive, stopping at a small local market and tortilla factory, relaxing at the hot springs, and our massage on the beach. The hot spring pools were easy to adjust temperature-wise, especially since we didn’t want it too hot! It was definitely something we wouldn’t have found on our own. We will definitely be recommending this to any of our friends who travel to the area. Thank you so much, Tony!

I was a little concerned about the heat and doing hot springs plus massage on a hot beach but we did this at the end of April and it was perfect weather and shaded everywhere we stayed for any time. It was wonderful to have this experience with Jose as our guide!

This was a perfect “off the beaten track” day of pampering. Perfect for checking out and gifting yourself a day. Beautiful natural hotsprings, spectacular lunch grilled by our host Jose. All this and a massage on the beach! Wonderful!

This was a unique and special day trip. Starting with a stop to pick out fresh fruits and vegetable and visit to a fresh tortilla shop. The hot springs are very remote and you get to see some local farming communities. The pools are very warm and relaxing. We enjoyed a delicious grilled lunch and then on to a nice beach massage. Our host was so friendly and gave us knowledge about the area. Be prepared for a lot of driving but you can take a nap!

What a treat to spend a day discovering so much that the area has to offer. We never would have been able to curate a day so diverse and engaging without Jose’s intentional planning. We started our day choosing the best fresh produce and had the most delicious avocado tacos with piping hot fresh-off-the-line tortillas, the only way to start a day, it turns out. Jose shared about the history of the area as we traveled into the beautiful rural hills and enjoyed hours soaking in the healing spring, where each group is treated to their own soaking pool and the option of a mud mask. The multi-course meal made on the grill was our favorite of our week here, so delicious and full of our market bounty - not to mention the perfectly timed fruit plate and fresh guacamole that were delivered just as the idea of snacking came to mind. Finishing the day with a massage and sweet treat made for a perfect ending to an amazing day. The clear communication about what to expect prepared us for each stage of our journey and made it easy to transition and enjoy every activity. We’ll do this excursion any time we visit and can’t wait to try the other adventure offerings!

This was the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation day that my boyfriend and I shared in Puerto Vallarta. Though each day has become an incredible memory, we agree that this activity was the best. The hot springs are lovely, with a natural mud mask offered to those who want it (don’t miss this, my skin became as smooth as the day I was born). The grilled lunch was incredible, and the beach massage was FIRM! These massage therapists knew what was up. The only down side, for those sensitive to long drives: there is about 2.5-3 hours in the car for this day. It is well broken up, with lots of stops for coffee/bathroom breaks, & activities. You do need to drive to get to the park with the springs, so it was well worth it for us. Bring a book if you don’t get carsick, or sleep. The travel flew by for us.

This was a really nice way to spend our last day in PV. Antonio was very attentive from beginning to end. We spent 3 hours at the tub and he made us an amazing meal and helped navigate us the entire way. The massage on the beach was great ending and Antonio even gave us a sweet treat after! We went back to the hotel and took a nap we were so relaxed. Be sure you drink lots of water!

Very well organized with lots of nice touches! Not too fast paced just the right amount of time at each stop. Excellent host, comfortable transportation and an awesome time!

We enjoyed this excursion so much the first time a few years ago that we brought our sisters on it with us again. Love the variety of this day and here are a few of the reasons why: you get to see some areas off the beaten path, the fresh tortilla sample is always delicious, the serene natural environment of the pools is just so calming and refreshing, and all the food is just deliciously. Jose goes out of his way to inform and educate us about the area and attends to every whim. He has put together a wonderful itinerary (including topping it off with the massage). We've done this twice and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. It's well worth the money!

My wife and I have vacationed in Mexico, mostly Puerto Vallarta-Bucerias, for years. But guide Jose Antonio led us to a totally new experience. Beneath the Siena Madre mountains yesterday we visited the Shaded Hot Springs. Awesome combination of a dozen natural pools, BBQ and to top it all off a one-hour massage on the beach in Bucerias. Oh, plus a 90-minute teeth-jarring van ride on cobblestone road to get there, but Jose Antonio made it worth it. He narrated the day with history of Mexico and wonderful insights of the area. Hot springs are perfect for adults and kids, although I recommend not together, only because it is two different kinds of fun. Viator aced it again!

An incredible experience with outstanding food, made even better by our amazing host, Jose. He is extremely knowledgeable and well-educated, especially when it comes to the history he shares, which truly enhanced the entire experience.

A must do! Definitely a wonderful way to spend a day out of the busy city. It was interesting to see the markets, culture, and areas you wouldn’t ordinarily visit. Tony was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, and provided us with so much interesting information.

It was delightful . Had a very good tour guide - Tony. Excellent Mexican grill feast . Wear good walking shoes if you want to do a little more exploring of the area.

They provided everything needed. Towels, drinks, snacks of fresh fruit, chips and guac, and a lovely grilled lunch. The hot springs are so relaxing and you can even get a mud mask (for a very small additional fee) The massage at the end of the day is in Bucerias and is exceptional!

Jose did a fantastic job. He was right on time at the pick up point and so very courteous. He described incredible stories and the history of the local area on our drive. We stopped in a small town to visit a tortilla making factory, which was an awesome experience and the Hot Springs were exceptional. Really an amazing experience and so beautiful in the country. He cooked a fantastic lunch and then we had a one hour massage. I would highly recommend as a tour to anyone interested in seeing a different part of Mexico that is so unique and beautiful.

We had an amazing day with Jose. The fruit, guacamole and lunch he made was superb. The facts he shared on trip were very interesting and the stops to buy our food including the tortilla factory was such a nice touch. The hot spring was so relaxing and the massages on the beach were such a great way to end our spa day. This was such a unique excursion and I highly recommend it.

Great food and margaritas. On the Malecon with great views. Our favorite was linguini shrimp tequila. Ask for Gustavo or Angel.

Just do it !!! You will not regret it at all. Beautiful drive , great shopping at the market and visiting the tortilla factory, awesome stories. The Hot springs are a 100% must. While soaking we had fruits from the market with lemonade. After our soak we had a great freshly grilled lunch with chicken and beef along with veggies we also got at the market. A beautiful ride back to the beach where we had a 60 min massage. Then were dropped off at our hotel. Antonio is the best we will definitely be doing this tour ever time we visit.

This tour was incredible! We ventured into the mountains of old Mexico - authentic, bumpy, and completely unplugged from the internet. Learned about local agriculture, ranching, and history. The mineral springs were the perfect detox, with fresh tortillas and chips made on-site. We ended the day on a remote beach with a heavenly one-hour massage. Antonio you are fantastic!

This was amazing. Food was cooked fresh on a grill after all of us chose the fruits and veggies from the local store. Fresh tortillas from the factory and a great massage on the beach to finish the trip. Highly recommend!

Peofessional, great scenery, relaxing. Great food and totally pampered. Pools amazing. Massage was to die for.

This experience starts with our host. He was very friendly and courteous. Went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable. The hot springs were extremely relaxing. The location was unique. We were here on a Thursday. It wasn’t busy. Giving our group a comfortable area to be with ourselves. The lunch prepared on the grill was incredibly delicious. The ride out was a bit of a distance. But the air conditioned van was comfortable. Plenty of great scenery along the way. The beach massage was also very good. We have had plenty of massages and this was up there with the best. We would absolutely do this again and recommend to anyone in Puerto Vallarta.

The tour was great. The hot springs were relaxing and the food was wonderful. It was great to get the opportunity to pick out some of the food that was grilled, and eating a fresh tortilla on the way was a perfect snack. Tony was a wonderful guide and was well prepared. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a relaxing way to spend a day during your trip.

You get it all with this experience! Worth much more than it costs. Enjoyed every minute of our day!

Tony, the host, is easy to communicate with and arrived exactly on time. He shared knowledge of the local floral and fauna. And some history of the country and this area. The roads are unpaved and bumpy near the hot springs but Tony drove slowly and carefully so it was not a problem. It was a real Mexican experience and Tony's cooking was superb! Excellent value and the massage on the beach was icing on the cake!

Wonderful experience ! This was our second time going to the springs . Antonio owns the company , cooks a delicious meal and drives the van . This is a must do in Puerto Vallarta !

Long drive to and from but pleasant and nice to get out of the city. Hot springs very relaxing . Fruit plate and lunch were delicious but best part was the massage on the beach at the end. Antonio was very attentive friendly informative. He went out of his way pick up and drop us off at our hotel

Be on time at designated meeting point. Expect slow travel to and from destinations, bumpy roads and speed bumps. Expect a great host (Tony) with a history of the area being traveled. The driver exceeded our expectations with nutritious food and snacks beforehand. Always kept us informed, no surprises, and treated us all like family.

Antonio did an amazing job from the farmers market to tortilla factory, the amazing fresh fruit and guacamole. Top that with delicious grilled lunch and beach massage on the way home. Mud facial an essential extra for $4! Very long winding drive, but great pick for an excursion

I absolutely loved this tour and would recommend it 100%! From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience. Antonio, our driver and guide, was incredible. He picked us up right on time and made the entire day fun, informative, and relaxing. Our first stop was a local town market where we got to pick out our own fresh fruits and vegetables. From there, we went to a tortillería where tortillas are made completely from scratch. Antonio explained the whole process, and then we got to try the fresh tortillas with his homemade beans and salsa — SO good! Next, we headed to the hot springs, which were peaceful and beautiful. You can also purchase a mud facial there, which was a nice bonus. While we were relaxing in the water, Antonio spoiled us with fresh fruit and homemade lemonade soda, followed by fresh guacamole and totopos made from the same tortilla factory. As if that wasn’t enough, he then grilled us steak and chicken with vegetables — everything was plentiful and delicious. We skipped breakfast and were very glad we did because the food kept coming! To end the day, we enjoyed a massage on the beach, which was absolutely fantastic and the perfect way to relax after such an amazing day. The tour runs from about 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so it’s a full day, but it is 100% worth it. Great food, great experiences, and an amazing guide. Don’t miss this tour if you’re in Puerto Vallarta! 👏🏻👏🏻

Everything was fantastic from beginning to end. The hot springs the fajita bar and the massage were all fantastic. The guide was amazing and very helpful. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the area and made sure that the drive was engaging and informative. The only downside would be the drive but that is unavoidable when going to a location like where the hot springs are. For our first excursion in Mexico it set the bar incredibly high and we were impressed with all the different experiences and elements of the trip. Definitely a must do!

What an amazing day! From shopping at the market, to fixing the meal, our host took care of us all day. The hot springs were relaxing, snacks and meal were delicious and the day ended with a wonderful massage on the beach. Will deffinitely recommend to our friends.

This was such a relaxing and memorable day. Antonio was very knowledgeable about the area, and seemed to know a lot about whatever questions were asked . The meal was amazing, and the hot springs and massages, also amazing. 5 stars, highly recommend!!

Awesome trip Jose was the best host ever went above and beyond to make us comfortable very relaxing day

5 out of 5! The drive was longer than we assumed, but the Hot Springs, the lunch and the massage all made up for that! The staff was amazing! I would absolutely do it again!
