Absolutely loved renting boards with these guys. I was worried traveling down to Sayulita/Punta Mita without bringing boards that I might be stuck renting some older, lesser boards, but I was immediately relieved to step in to Quiverito and see all the great boards they had to offer. So many sick options, tons of quality logs, midlenth options and rode a couple of the most fun twin fin boards I've ever been on. Tons of beautiful boards and loved that they had so many retro/alternative shapes on top of the more higher performance options. Cannot recommend renting with these guys enough. Tons of local knowledge of different spots as well. Always knew where to go based on swell and tide and always had the perfect board for the scenario thanks to these guys. Omar helped me out a ton, super awesome dude!!

Lo de Perla Jungle Garden

This amazing jungle/ natural reserve its a most visit if you are close to San Francisco, Nayarit. Its only 1 hour away from Puerto Vallarta. The ecotour takes your breath away with 3 hours travel enjoying the northen most Jungle of the world. You will walk in a comfortable path watching the flora and most of the fauna of the garden: 120 different fruit threes, bromelias, orchids, ferns, cactus, 25 mammals, 120 birds, 300 butterflies and thousands of insects, watching the see as background. The information is very interesting because tells the history of the indigenous people, the Sierra de Vallejo and the State of Nayarit. The tour guides are locals and love their land. At the end, and after a few brakes to rest you will get to the Orchids Sanctuary, a collection of more than 700 plants that will fill your eyes and nose with beautiful images and fragrances. The tour ends with a feeling that you have to come back soon to witness how the garden changes each season.

This easy, beautiful garden tour and jungle walk is an amazing glimpse into a balanced, yet fragile eco system. The caretaking and preservation of these garden trails is a true labour of love. We learned the history of the garden’s humble beginnings and much about the co-existence that occurs in a natural habitat. Highly recommended.

Destiladeras Beach

Located between the cliffs of Punta del Burro, this beach is popular with sunbathers and surfers alike.

Reviewed By dbrunelle - Penticton, Canada

We stay in Bucerias but we love Destiladeras Beach better than anywhere. Up the coast a few minutes from La Cruz, it is easily assessible by bus if you do not have your own transportation. The best sand and wonderful for long walks. Food/drinks is available as well as chairs and umbrellas to rent.

Reviewed By V9490CTjenniferw - Denver, United States

We came here every morning with our 7 year old to check out tide pools, throw the football, and build sand castles. It was a great quiet beach with beautiful views. I’d highly recommend getting off the beaten path if you’re in sayulita.

Santuario de Cocodrilos El Cora

El Cora Crocodile Sanctuary will change your concept of wildlife through knowledge and close experiences that will make your hair stand on end. Our goal is to transmit the love for what surrounds us and the importance of conserving it through a guided tour by biologists and veterinarians who carry out the conservation and rehabilitation of the sanctuary.

Reviewed By Sea2Sky2018 - Vancouver, Canada

One of the highlights of my May 2019 trip was a bike ride tour ("CrocoRide") to the El Cora Crocodile Sanctuary just outside Bucerias / Nuevo Vallarta. A truly unforgettable experience. The Cycling: Booked the bike tour with BikePlusLife in Nuevo Vallarta. The bikes are exceptionally well maintained and specialized for the varied terrain which is a mix of flat dedicated cycling paths in NV, a short amount of lateral highway road (with a wide cycling shoulder that most cities would be envious of), and then a long and winding back-country dirt road. The guide, Noemi, clearly enjoys cycling and is so informative about the mangroves and the many different trees and birds in this area, and her enthusiasm made it a fun cycling trip. The Sanctuary: the El Cora Crocodile Sanctuary is an unforgettable experience – educational and so engaging, and the creatures are all rescue/sanctuary so not a zoo. The tour was given by Alfredo, a young veterinarian from Guadalajara, with perfect English. It was fascinating to hear and see live examples of the complex (and sometimes entertaining) connections between the creatures, the tides and the flora in the swamp ecosystem. And to learn up close and safely about the extraordinary crocodile. It’s not huge, it’s not glittery or animated – but for anyone with curiousity about the world and compassion about nature, and for older kids to be engaged in it – this is a wonderful way to include that in your vacation experiences.
