Rhythms Of The Night: Sunset Cruise & Candlelit Dining Experience & show
What your day looks like
A Journey for the Senses Step aboard for an unforgettable sunset cruise across the Bay of Banderas, where golden skies and sea breezes set the tone for an extraordinary evening. Your destination? A hidden paradise accessible only by boat—an enchanting beachfront amphitheater nestled deep within the jungle. Once ashore, you’ll be welcomed by flickering torches and a candlelit path leading to a starlit setting where nature and artistry come alive. Indulge in a delicious gourmet candlelit dinner, crafted with local ingredients and served beneath a canopy of stars, surrounded by the sounds of the ocean and the rhythms of the night. Then, the magic unfolds. The Guardian of the Rainforest through the sacred Peyote, summons the spirits that dwell within the land—and together, they bring to life a tale of wonders from deep within the jungle’s sacred realm. Every element of the evening—sunset, sea, flavor, music, myth—is designed to lead you to a place where the spiritual and the earthly meet to revive the soul of the jungle. ALMA is a world-class theatrical experience created by acclaimed Creative Director Mukhtar Mukhtar, with breathtaking scenography by Eugenio Caballero, the Oscar-winning production designer of Pan’s Labyrinth. This immersive show fuses acrobatics, dance, live music, and mythical storytelling to transport you into a timeless, spiritual realm—where every movement and every note evokes wonder, emotion, and awe. More than a show, ALMA by Rhythms of the Night is a transformational experience—where every detail, from the cruise to the cuisine to the captivating performance, is designed to awaken your senses and leave your soul stirred. After the show, you'll have time to unwind before concluding this spectacular evening with a nightcap and some dancing under the stars during our short cruise back to Puerto Vallarta.

What travelers are saying
Wow - what an amazing show! Kind of like a Mexican version of Cirque du Soleil. The acrobatics were stunning, and the host was a joy to engage with. My main suggestion would be to perhaps provide dinner before the show, since we didn't end up eating until after 9 pm (in pitch black conditions with some meager candlelight). The cruise is a long trip, so asking people to sit for a show after that but BEFORE providing dinner is a lot. Also was quite hot in the show area - some electric fans or AC would have been greatly appreciated. I did have some safety concerns when the fire acrobatics were happening (i.e. how well is this activity controlled for accidents)? I very much appreciated the cruise staff and their willingness to entertain us on the long trip to and from La Caleta. Kudos to them for doing their best to keep us occupied and happy. Better appetizers on the cruise would've also been appreciated...
My clients said this was the most spectacular show they have ever seen. Everyrthing about the evening was magical and 100% go again
Overall great experience. Thanks to my travel agent for recommending this
very nice evening and a lot of fun. Beautiful grounds as well and staff was top notch.
We loved the performance BUT there desperately needs to be some fans in the theatre area.
Fabulous!
Great experience and would highly recommend it. Walking up and down the hills to the food and entertainment in the dark was a challenge and risk for our 80 year old mother. Which we did not recall being made aware of in the information provided.
What an amazing time we had!!! Thank you for putting on an amazing show and dinner. Thank you also to the Captain and Crew on our boat (#3)!! We had a rough trip to the show and they kept us safe and entertained the entire time!!
