We had the best time on our private snorkeling tour! While we wished we'd seen more fish, we really enjoyed the sightseeing along the coastline. Fernando and his son were exceptional hosts, and made the day great for our entire family! Even better, we saved a boatload of money (no pun intended) by going with La Vida Bella Boat Tours vs one from Vallarta Adventures! It literally cost us about half, and I can't imagine we'd have had any better experience with theirs. But no doubt, the best part of all was Fernando Jr.'s guacamole! Holy schmoley! It was the best chips and guac of our lives. We highly recommend them!

This is always one of the highlights of my trip and I really missed it last year during COVID. What Elly and her team do through this program is exceptional! They have found ways to stay safe in the pandemic and continue to support their artisan partners. Please review their website and get to know the artisans who soon will be offering their goods through an e-commerce store. The artisans are so hospitable and share their stories so well. They are so willing to answer questions and tell us about their lives and work. It is so special to be able to purchase directly from the person who made it!

Mountain biking in Sayulita and Punta Mita area is a great way to experience the local jungle and explore nearby beaches and towns. The benefit of living in a tropical paradise is that we get to enjoy the exotic nature with great weather. Our MTB tours range from novice to experienced, with trails that go from mellow dirt roads to Technical Singletrack. Tours are available from November to July every year. We have two great mountain bike trail system options for our tours: either the Malpaso Singletracks MTB Tour for intermediate or advanced bikers or the Punta Sayulita MTB Tour for beginner riders, although both options can be adjusted to suit your needs and ability level. What really makes us unique is that 100% of the profits from our MTB tours and rentals go towards creating, cleaning and maintaining these local mountain bike trails.
Inclusions: Use of bicycle, Tour Guide, Bottled water, Helmet, Gloves
Exclusions: Biking Shorts, Camelback (Optional), Biking Shoes (Optional), Clipless Pedals (if brand other than Shimano)

Wild Mex is the best surf camp in Sayulita / Punta Mita area and I took lessons from 4 places over 1.5 months. They are professional, affordable, and the teachers are top notch. I am intermediate and my girlfriend is a beginner, and we both had great lessons. Octavio was our absolute favorite instructor. He was a great surfer but more importantly a great teacher who gave perfect advice and knew how to push you more or less based on your desired experience. Request him if you visit!

I went to San Sebastian. There were 3 of us on the tour, plus the guide and driver. They were very nice and knowledgeable. The town is up in the mountains. There really isn't much there but a small town with cobble stone street and a square. Not much shopping. We had a nice lunch. The nicest thing was seeing the mountain life on the way and stopping at a bakery, tequila maker and a coffee maker. It was very comfortable and a nice day trip to see some different scenery. The tour was run well.

Eteban, was such a pleasure to work with. He ensured not only our transportation from to airport to the hotel was taken care of as well as getting us back to the airport the day of departure. He also got with us on day 1 to plan and schedule all the excursions and adventures my family and I wanted to do. We were able to get them scheduled with discounts. He was quite helpful. On one of our days we left some items in a taxi and didn't realize it before they left. Esteban went above and beyond to assist and help in identifying the Taxi and communicating with his local contacts to get our items delivered back to our hotel. I didn't think we would get those items back. He was essential in an awesome trip and such a friendly helpful gentleman. We would use him and Gray Lines again anytime.
