Is it safe?
Puerto Vallarta's signature evening boat-and-dinner theater at candlelit Las Caletas (Terminal Marítima 6 p.m., 5.5h, all ages). Steep stone steps lit only by torches make flat gripped shoes essential.
•Do not wear high heels: Las Caletas uses uneven stone amphitheater stairs and sand paths lit gently by candles and torches.
•Terminal Marítima departures collect a cash federal API port fee per person; arrive 45 minutes early to check in.
•Evening ocean air feels cooler on the return crossing — pack a light wrap or sweater, plus insect repellent at dusk.
•Unlimited drinks run on the boat and dinner decks: pace alcohol for safe footing down cove stairs back to the pier.
Always confirm with the operator: rules and conditions can change.
Best for
Couples, anniversaries and groups wanting dinner + live acrobatic show together

Probably not for you
Travelers with steep-stair mobility difficulties
