ATV All-Terrain Adventure in Punta Mita

This ATV tour in Punta Mita, on the coast north of Puerto Vallarta, is described by the operator as a combination of adrenaline and natural beauty. Instead of the typical trails, it takes you to rural villages such as Higuera Blanca and to viewpoints over Bahía de Banderas. The listing gives the duration as 120 minutes.

The route uses jungle paths, seasonal streams and mountain trails that, according to the operator, few visitors see. Exclusive access to these paths is part of what the operator uses to distinguish the tour from others. Safety equipment is included and a bilingual, expert guide leads the group.

The tour also adds a cultural note with a complimentary tequila tasting. Participants must be 18 or older to take part in the tasting and a valid official ID may be required, so bring one with you. Bottled water is also included.

This activity suits travelers who want an off-road ride through the countryside and are comfortable with a moderate level of physical fitness. It is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health. Round-trip transportation is part of the package.

Food, gratuities and souvenirs are not included. On transport, the operator says it can be arranged for guests staying at Hotel Palladium, Hotel Iberostar, Hotel Conrad Punta de Mita, Marival Armony or Secrets Bahía Mita, if you tell them in advance so they can coordinate it with prior authorization. It is not available for St. Regis Punta Mita, Four Seasons Punta Mita or W Punta de Mita. Pickup is not available in Puerto Vallarta; the closest meeting point is the OXXO in Flamingos.
