Puerto Vallarta's cruise terminal is located in Marina Vallarta, approximately 3.5 miles (5.5 km) north of downtown. While the terminal has facilities including tourist information, ATMs, and wi-fi, getting to the best attractions requires reliable transportation. Our professional cruise port service ensures you maximize every minute of your limited time in port.
We specialize in cruise passenger transportation with thousands of successful port day excursions completed. Our drivers understand cruise ship schedules, all-aboard times, and the importance of punctuality. We've never missed a ship departure and guarantee timely return to your vessel.
The Puerto Vallarta cruise port, also known as Marina Vallarta Maritime and Cruise Terminal, features 4 cruise docks located at the northern part of town. Cruise dock 1 is the main terminal where you'll find all facilities including the tourist information point, taxi stands, and souvenir markets right at the dock.
From the terminal, downtown Puerto Vallarta and the famous Malecón boardwalk are approximately 15-20 minutes by car. The Zona Romántica (Romantic Zone) is about 20-25 minutes away. Without pre-arranged transportation, you'll face long taxi lines and potentially inflated tourist prices. Our pre-booked service eliminates waiting and provides transparent, fair pricing.
We provide transportation to all major Puerto Vallarta attractions and shore excursion departure points:
Booking independent shore excursions through local providers can save up to 60% compared to cruise line offered tours. Our transportation service connects you with the same activities, same professional guides, and same departure points - but at significantly lower prices with more flexibility.
We partner with reputable shore excursion providers for activities like sailing to Yelapa, snorkeling at Los Arcos, ATV adventures, zipline tours, and whale watching (December-March). Book transportation and activities together for the best rates and seamless coordination.
Most cruise ships dock in Puerto Vallarta from 7:00-8:00 AM and depart between 5:00-6:00 PM, giving you approximately 9-10 hours in port. We recommend this efficient schedule:
Our most important commitment to cruise passengers is ensuring timely return to your ship. We monitor traffic conditions, plan routes with buffer time, and communicate directly with you throughout the day. In the unlikely event of traffic delays or emergencies, we have contingency plans and direct contacts with port authorities to ensure you never miss your ship.
We recommend returning to the terminal at least 90 minutes before all-aboard time as a safety margin. This provides buffer for security checks, souvenir shopping at the terminal, and peace of mind. Our drivers are trained in cruise ship timing and will advise you if we need to start the return journey.
For a successful port day in Puerto Vallarta, bring: Valid passport or cruise card for re-boarding, cash in US dollars or Mexican pesos (cards accepted most places), sunscreen and hat, comfortable walking shoes, swimsuit and beach towel if visiting beaches, and camera for photos. We provide bottled water in all vehicles.
We recommend booking port transportation at least 5-7 days before your cruise arrives to ensure vehicle availability. Provide your ship name, arrival date, and desired itinerary. We'll coordinate pickup time based on your ship's docking schedule and confirm all details 48 hours before arrival.
Last-minute bookings are often possible subject to availability. Contact us via WhatsApp for immediate response and booking confirmation. We accept payment in cash USD/pesos or credit card through our secure booking system.
