The boat slips away from Puerto Vallarta as the sun drops behind jungle-clad ridges, painting Banderas Bay in copper and indigo. Salt breath and distant surf set the tempo; the crew pours a final glass as the shoreline narrows into the secluded cove of Las Caletas, where palms lean like audience members toward the sea.

The boat slips away from Puerto Vallarta as the sun drops behind jungle-clad ridges, painting Banderas Bay in copper and indigo. Salt breath and distant surf set the tempo; the crew pours a final glass as the shoreline narrows into the secluded cove of Las Caletas, where palms lean like audience members toward the sea.
This stretch of coastline is born of volcanic uplifts and river-born sediment—rocky headlands giving way to sandy beaches and small freshwater runs that feed inland canyons. For centuries the bay supported fishing villages and trade long before Puerto Vallarta became an international gateway; today a small, private amphitheater uses that contained quiet to stage ALMA, a multimedia dance and aerial performance that draws on regional rhythms and folklore.
Expect an evening built in three movements: a guided cruise during golden hour, a candlelit international buffet by the beach with an open bar, then the show at the pyramid amphitheater where drummers and aerialists push the night forward.
Practical notes: meetings happen at Puerto Mágico; the whole experience runs about five hours. Paths on the island are sandy and uneven—good balance and steady footwear matter. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a light jacket once the sea breeze cools, and a small waterproof bag for valuables. Minimum age is 6 and the site is not recommended for guests with limited mobility. Book early—sunset sailings and limited seating at the amphitheater sell out quickly, and weather or port restrictions may prompt last-minute changes.
The excursion is approximately five hours, typically departing in late afternoon to reach Las Caletas for sunset and the evening show.
Yes — the tour lists an unlimited open bar; service continues through the dinner portion, but the show seating may limit access to bar service during the performance.
Minimum age is 6. The island has sandy, uphill and irregular paths, so it is not recommended for guests with limited mobility.
This option isn’t suitable for cruise ship passengers due to scheduling conflicts with port/ship timetables.
