Sayulita, San pancho and Lo De Marcos in Private up to 15pax

This private day trip takes you from Puerto Vallarta to three towns on the Pacific coast: Sayulita, San Pancho and Lo De Marcos. It is designed for groups of up to 15 people and lasts about 480 minutes, which makes it a full day of travel and stops.

Sayulita is the centerpiece of the description. It is a village on the Pacific coast with the mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental behind it. It is known for beaches with strong waves, such as the central Sayulita beach, while to the west Playa de los Muertos is more sheltered between protective rocks.

Sayulita's galleries sell works of art from the Huichol indigenous people, which makes a good stop for anyone looking for handmade souvenirs. To the southwest, the Marietas Islands have diverse wildlife that includes humpback whales and dolphins. The listing does not say that the islands are part of the itinerary, so treat them as background to the area rather than a planned stop. It also does not detail what you do in San Pancho and Lo De Marcos, so ask the operator for the stops and timing.

The price covers a bilingual guide-driver and round-trip transportation, with refreshments, purified water and sandwiches on board. The package also mentions a City Tour Puerto Vallarta, to be taken one day before or one day after. All fees and taxes are listed as not included, so check with the operator what that covers before you go.

The tour is described as suitable for all fitness levels. Pick-up is at your hotel lobby: be there and hand your ticket and confirmation to the tour operator when the carrier arrives.
