What are the best shore excursions while cruising in the Mexican Riviera?

Lexi Z. asked:


My family and I will be traveling on the Carnival Pride ship this December to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas.

I would like to know what shore excursions are most recommended? Or on the other end, what shore excursions should be avoided or aren’t worth it?

At the moment prices aren’t a deciding factor but if prices are included that would be very helpful. Or at least mentioning if the activity is pricey, cheap, etc.

Thank you!

    Tou are going to be there the perfect time of year and the Pride is an awesome ship, we sailed on her end of Febuary.

    Alot depends on your familys interest but we went horse back riding in Puerto Vallarta (thru the ship) and had a great time, the same location also offered 4 wheel drivres and the looked like they had alot of fun. i think we paid $70 pp

    In Mazatalan we took the Sierra Madre tour which allowed us to see alot of the countryside in Mezico, visit a few small towns and generally wander thru Mexico. It was a very relaxing day and we really enjoyed but its pretty quiet. $60 pp

    In Cabo we booked thru an outside vendor and had an awesome time whale watching. It was the first time we booked with someone other than thru the ship but it was one of the best ezcursions we have had. We paid $60pp and that included alcohol and a fantastic lunch. I would use this company again

    YOu will have a great time. The only other thing I suggest is to bring warm clothes for the 2 sea days there and back, it got very cold and windy on deck and we really needed the sweatshirts and jean we thankfully had brough.
