Gay Puerto Vallarta's most popular cruise sails to Paco's Paradise, a rustic gay resort on a remote beach.  Cruise there on the best sailing yacht traveling the bay in Puerto Vallarta.

Deep in the jungle, on the south coast of Banderas Bay is Paradise, a small, remote gay beach resort with a small hotel, a modest restaurant/bar and rocky beach.  Paco's Paradise can only be reached by boat; there are no roads anywhere near the facility.

On the south coast in a mountainous location, Paco's Paradise is a beautiful sandy alcove littered with huge boulders.  On more than 20 acres of untouched jungle, you'll find well marked  trails with fabulous views into the ocean,  great snorkeling, and an improved area with beach volleyball, fresh water showers, a beach restaurant and bar and more.  

This is the perfect gay and lesbian tropical escape.  Relaxed enough to be clothing optional, but not really a nude beach.  Being so secluded yet so close to Vallarta, Paradise is the place of your fantasies.  

Rainbow Dancer sails to Paco's Paradise several times a week, leaving from Marina Vallarta and traveling first to Los Muertos Pier on the south side of Vallarta.  Most of the passengers bound for a day in Paradise board here at Muertos at 11 am, and travel in total luxury on Rainbow Dancer for two hours to Paco's Paradise.  We pass the famous islands known as Los Arcos on the way, huge rocks of islands, with caves that have worn all the way through the islands to form arches over the water.  We pass Mismaloya, site of the movie set for the "Night of the Iguana" Movie that started all the interest in Vallarta years ago.  We pass several remote beach locations infested with more straights than God ever intended to be on a beach.  Finally, at 1 pm, we reach PARADISE!

Paco's Paradise has sea kayaks, inner-tubes, snorkel gear, and a beach volleyball court, as well as trails through the jungle.  You can relax on the beach or get active enjoying this fabulous location.  Waiters ashore will take care of your drink needs. 

After your afternoon on the beach we reboard the yacht at 3:30 for a cocktail party and dinner.  We set sail for Puerto Vallarta at 4:30 pm arriving at 6 pm.
