I think it WAS the most beautiful place anyone could of ever visited! But then again i went several years back, before all the tours and the filming came in.Thats where the "WAS" part comes in. It used to be a small beautiful hideaway we used to love to visit as a family. It seemed as if almost no one... more

There are several canopy tour options in Puerto Vallarta. We chose El Eden because you fly high above the jungle where Predator was filmed, which is one of my boyfriends favorite movies. We booked the tour in advance from the office in Plaza Romy in Old Vallarta. You meet there to catch a ride up to El Eden, it takes... more

This was amazing. I went with 6 people, including my parents. We all had a blast. You take an open air bus along the ocean and then into the jungle while passing locals along side of the road. The staff was friendly and very helpful. You do have to be able to walk up a mountain though, there are stairs... more

We thought this place was great! It was hot, It was in the jungle and we were very excited to swing through the trees. The trip up the single lane washed out road was so cool. When we got to El Eden it was beautiful. We received very good safety instructions and away we went. It started off short and... more

The reviews mentioned below are fairly accurate except star ratings. I'm very surprised tripadvisor rates this as high as it is. This trip was sold to us as a $20 bus tour, with 2 stops downtown, a 5 minute stop overlooking Mismaloya beach and again at a Tequila "distillery" and then to El Eden. It was not made clear what... more

Lessons learned from a bad experience: 1) If you're going to El Eden, book a canopy tour in advance. You can do this all over town, and even on the main road where you turn off to go to El Eden. It's $60 then, and usually includes transportation. It's $80 at El Eden, no exceptions. I didn't do it, but... more

We just came back from a cruise to Mexico. Stopped at PV with no particular plan, walked around, not a whole lot to do at the pier. Fortunately we met a wonderful taxi driver who took us to the beach, and then to El Eden, the service was great, it was during the week and the place was about half... more

We did a timeshare presentation with the Mayan Resorts and they gave us a free Tropical Adventures City/Tropical Tour to El Eden. El Eden is where they filmed Predator with Arnold Swartzenegger. They told us that we'd have to buy our own lunch. I was thinking that the lunch would be our choice while in the city. When they took... more

I'd definitely recommend trying a Canopy Tour, but not with El Eden unless their customer service improves. We went with a group of fifteen people October 2007. You should NOT pay in advance for your group since you won't be reimbursed for any portion if any of your group fails to show. We were with a wedding party and the... more

We spent a fun ride on the trucks...I loved it! It was like having a jungle tour along with our adventure. We did the canopy tour. It was fun and great views. The guides were so much fun and we had a good time. We felt very safe and loved the rush. We did get in the waterfall and it... more
