Top 10 Day Trips from in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit

March 24, 2022 Diedre Savory

In Nuevo Vallarta, you can lounge on the golden-sand beaches of Banderas Bay… or take an ATV tour through the nearby Sierra Madre jungle. A local water park has great twisting slides and sea lion shows… or you could treat the kids to a memorable swim with dolphins. (It'll make for a great "What I did over summer vacation" report.)

Beautiful place to spend the day with artistic landscaping and trails to hike. Just a ten minute bus or cab ride from downtown Puerto Vallarta. Bus called el Tuito - take it at the corner of Aguacate and Carranza St. Also a gorgeous, romantic restaurant with outdoor seating. Be sure to try the complimentary hibiscus tea when you arrive.

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.

The overall trip was great. The snorkeling wasn’t amazing and the water was freezing but still okay after that the trip to the island and the ride home with great crew entertainment made this trip 5 star. The crews service and hospitality was on point, the photographers did awesome and the rock show on the way back to the port was INSANE!!! want to mention David, he basically lead the entire day and all the crew members and Henry the captain!!

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.
