My answers are underlined. Please check if I do it correctly.

Read the extracts from a tourist brochure and underline all the words you think should not be there

1. ROUGH GUIDE TO VALLARTA

One of the best ways forto get to know Puerto Vallarta is to take this professionally-guided tour. A guide who he can speak English and Spanish will pick you up in the front of your hotel and deliver you back in time for a lunch. You will have a chance to walk through this Mexican charming small town and during the morning, you’ll discover about its main plaza, and see its other attractions like as the Marina Pier and the cathedral. Afterwards, you will also be able to hunt out a few shopping bargains in the flea market.

2. SURF AND TURF

If you will want to see a different side of Mexico, this is a great opportunity to see the Vallarta’s unspoilt coast and the countryside. You will be travel to the scenic south coast of Vallarta, and visit Mismaloya beach, where the movie “Night of the Iguana” was filmed there. You’ll be able to have swim in the sea or, if you would prefer, you can just relax yourself and have a drink on a beautiful white sandy beach. After then we’ll go inland to one of the area’s most best restaurants in a spectacular forest setting, and take an part in a guided walk of the forest.

And by the way, could you please explain the phrase "surf and turf"? I can't understand it

Linh, I think you got them all right, may be with the exception of "hunt out"..I would have deleted " a few" instead. I've been to Puerto Vallarta and the description is pretty accurate...except that I wouldn't want to swim in the sea as the water is very polluted. Surf and Turf is the expression commonly used to describe seafood (surf = waves = sea) and red meat (turf = grass = cattle eat grass). In this case, it simply means that you have both the sea and the forest to enjoy.
