Wow! That is the word that sums up our experience yesterday. I rarely (as in almost never) bother to write reviews but this time I thought I should. We have been coming to this area of Mexico since 2015 and previously have been loyal "Estigo" customers. But since we were staying up in the Bucerias area we decided to give these folks a try. First the actual ride was definitely superior and also without having to play dodge ball with drivers in downtown Puerto Vallarta (which as a father watching my kids in that traffic with cars dodging in and out always made me anxious). But I also let them know ahead of time that my daughter has some immune system issues and therefore had concerns about COVID. Well they took supporting her seriously - from sending a very sanitary van right to our front door, ensuring no one else was on the van the whole trip to the ranch, ensuring that the driver was going to be the same person that gave us the actual tour, hand sanitizer getting both into the van and out of the van when we reached the destination, always wearing their masks properly with noses covered. But they did not stop there. They set aside our own section of the restaurant and sanitized everything down in that area and made sure we were the only ones there. When we got to the ATV machines they were new and in great shape and they had a treat of hibiscus water and pineapple set aside for us on our own plates and table before we got on the ride. The actual ride was just myself, my daughter and the guide to make sure that we avoided all COVID risks. I mean these folks completely went out of their way for us. The ride itself was awesome. When the ride was done (and no stops at places to try to sell us stuff) we got back for lunch. We had low expectations to be honest because normally on a tour you get "meh" but the meal was actually amazing here and as good as anything I have had in Bucerias itself. Best shrimp fajitas I have had in years. Honestly. With actually a lot of shrimp. Plus all the accompaniments freshly made. We both are lactose intolerant so the chef made sure to accommodate us and even made us dairy free cupcakes. Everything was super fresh even the hand ground garlic in olive oil that he used on the shrimp. We are going back for the horse ride and they wanted to know what we wanted them to make for the meal. This place was amazing and the level of customer service is such a big deal these days. I would highly recommend these folks to anyone and that does not come lightly. These folks earned me as a loyal customer from here forward.

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!

We took the tour to the secluded beach. What an amazing time. The tours are small groups, so on this one it was just my son, our guide and myself. We rode on back roads, through small villages, up and over the mountains to a secluded and beautiful beach. We were the only people on the beach and enjoyed the beauty so much! After the beach we took a different path through a river back to town. We were able to ride to another beach, tour Lo De Marcos on ATV's and see what a quaint place it really is I would highly recommend doing this tour. It gives you a feel of what living in Mexico is really like (not the usual tequilla tasting, picture taking for money, gift shop tours that you normally are sold). Additionally, Brian worked with our time schedule and was very flexible with us in order to accommodate our needs. I cannot recommend this enough! THANK YOU!

This trip is highly recommended. My wife and I were staying in Sayulita and met with the tour operators and driver right off the town square across from Coco Banana. The van ride to the marina was about 20 minutes. The boat/catamaran was awesome! Came with a lower and upper deck, two water slides from the top deck, a couple hammocks and comfy seating all around. The service and crew were top notch. Everyone was polite, funny and welcoming. They started off serving us fruit, pastries and whatever you wanted to drink for breakfast (alcohol or nonalcoholic) and provided nonstop fun and service the whole way to the islands. Once you get to the islands, you are transported in a smaller boat to an area where it is safe to swim to the islands themselves where you you can get some amazing pictures and see sights not many will ever experience. The ride back is just as fun, if not more so. You continue with as many drinks as you'd like. We had fajitas for lunch, which were delicious, and we did a bit of fishing off the back on the way home. Overall 6 outta 5 rating. Love these folks and will definitely be back for more tours
