Sun Buggy Tour

This tour takes you around the coast of Puerto Vallarta and to its Botanical Gardens in a sun buggy, which the operator describes as a standard, non-automatic vehicle. It is billed as the operator's Epic Tour, and the scheduled time is 330 minutes.

The ride follows the coast on a scenic route, then pauses at the Botanical Gardens, which the operator calls the number one destination of Puerto Vallarta. There you can enjoy the flowers, trees and lush jungle, lounge on one of the terraces, or simply sit in the breeze listening to the birds. You can also shop for souvenirs or have a snack at an authentic Mexican restaurant.

The list of inclusions goes beyond what the description covers: it mentions snorkeling, dinner in Mismaloya and boogie boards for body surfing, along with entrance to the Botanical Garden. The source does not say when in the day these take place or how they fit into the route, so ask the operator to confirm the exact plan when you book.

The tour is a fit for people who want a mix of driving, nature and a little beach time. Because the sun buggy is a manual vehicle, it is worth asking whether you drive it yourself. A moderate level of fitness is expected. It is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health or for pregnant travelers.

The exclusions list says only that fees and taxes are not included, which is unusually broad, so check the final price. The source does not give a meeting point either, so confirm it in your booking details.
