The trail was wider than I expected and the views were breathtaking. I'd love to do this tour at different times of the year to see how the landscape changes. Heck if I lived down there I want to be a tour guide!!! We stopped and enjoyed lunch and a beer in a little cantina. We've been on bigger tours before and this was nice because it was just the three of us.The equipment seemed in…”

10.From Puerto & Nuevo Vallarta: ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 7 reviews · 2 hours · from $99

Ride a semi-automatic ATV from Puerto or Nuevo Vallarta into the Sierra Madre with an English or Spanish guide. You will follow jungle trails, reach a high mountain viewpoint, visit El Salto waterfall, explore the Cuale River, and sample tequila. Daniel is one guide praised for careful driving and showing off-grid sites. Bring clothes that can get wet and dirty.

“The experience itself was awesome. The guides were fun and careful. Safety first. I would have put 5 stars, but when we arrived at our pick up location/paid for time/reservation 9:00 am, they didn’t have us for 9:00 and wouldn’t take us at that time. Said we had to come back at 11:50. We had to go with other groups. So, our day was sucked up when I had other things planned for our family. The experience itself was great, outside of the fact that they told us to come back 3 hours later to meet for our pick up. The planning of this and communication/instructions are lacking.”
