About
Only one Puerto Vallarta attraction offers a romantic sunset cruise across the bay, an open bar, a gourmet candlelit dinner, and a world-class show that blends acrobatics and live music. Welcome to the Rhythms of the Night!

Depending on which showtime you choose, you’ll either dine before the show or after. Either way, you’ll feast on a gourmet buffet featuring authentic Mexican flavors and fresh seafood. Dietary options for vegans and vegetarians ensure there’s something for everyone.
