Must do! - The hot springs were amazing! So refreshing and clean! It was a shaded area, so not too hot either. The tour guides were phenomenal! We stopped at a local tortilla factory and fruit/veggie store on the way to the hot springs and our guides prepared fresh fruit/veggies/salsa/guacamole, fresh squeezed lemonade, AND lunch. Make sure to go hungry! Ended the day with a beach massage. If you’re looking for an authentic experience, this is it! Make sure to pack bug spray and your own beverages if you want something more than lemonade or water. Being extra money for tips they’re very well deserved!!

Fun with Friends - The tour group did an outstanding job! The hot springs was fun and relaxing. The road to the hot springs was rough, I guess to get back to nature you have to travel there. LOL

Most relaxing tour with awesome guides - My hubby and I spent our anniversary/ his birthday on this tour, and I couldn't imagine a better way to enjoy our special day! Our guide, Manuel, was so knowledgeable, kind, and funny! The other guides were amazing, as well! They served up a yummy lunch and had special snacks and treats along the way. The springs were so relaxing in a beautiful, natural oasis. Our massages were a perfect way to end our day. I've always wanted a beach massage and was not disappointed!

The perfect relaxing day - What an amazing experience I can’t say enough about this experience. If you have been wanting to go to Mexico City to Las grutas de tolantongo this is a better more cozy option. We started the day by stopping and buying fruit and tortillas. I’m Hispanic and by far this has been one of the best tortillas I’ve had and with a small piece of avocado… it was mouth watering. We then drove to the thermal waters where you’re able to adjust the temperature to your liking. The water relaxed your body and it was relaxing. While we were soaking all the minerals, water, and sun Antonio prepared us a plater of fresh local fruit and a mineral lemonade ( you can ask for your with regular water). After a couple of hours Antonio prepared us a guacamole, chicken and carne asada with some grilled vegetables. Then we headed to the massage the ladies are very professional you are able to ask for a deep tissue massage or adjust the pressure to your liking. The sound of the waves plus your massage made the perfect relaxing ambiance. I also asked Antonio if kids were able to do this excursion and he said yes and that he’s seen kids as little as 7 get a massage. He does offer an option without a massage as well. I also saw families at the hot springs with kids as little as 1 year old. A nice place where locals also take their families and spend the weekend.

Perfect tour for experiencing the back country of Jalisco! - This was our first trip to Puerto Vallarta, and we had a week to get to know the city and surrounding areas. If that sounds like visit or if you haven't ventured out to more remote areas than this may be something you'd like. First off, we absolutely had a great time with Josie, Sergio and Manuel - our tour guides (there were 7 guests in our party). They explained a lot in our ride to the hot springs, which included a short stop in a small town where we saw how flour tortillas were made and also got to sample ones that were just made (yummy!). The hot springs visit was so relaxing and we had a fun time visiting with other guests while soaking, although you have the choice to soak privately with your spouse if that's what you'd prefer. Josie, Sergio and Manuel were hard at work throughout our time at the hot springs preparing fresh fruit trays and grilling and awesome mexican steak and chicken meal - absolutely wonderful! I also liked how this tour incorporated a 1 hour beach massage on our way back to Puerto Vallarta. This was in the town of Bucerias and it was a nice way to end our day trip. Great tour, I would highly recommend this and give top marks to Josie, Sergio and Manuel!!

Hot Springs, BBQ, and Massage on the Beach-LOVED IT - Antonio has created an amazing day activity. He was very flexible and even picked us up in front of our AirBnB. We began the drive to the hot springs and stopped along the way in a small town to purchase the produce and vegetables that he grills for the lunch. You can walk around a little in the town and see the church and tour a tortilla shop where they make the corn tortillas fresh every day. We continued on towards the hot springs. I’m glad we chose to have the tour instead of driving outselves. The hot springs are out of the way and you drive on a very bumpy dirt road for a while. When you get to the hot springs, they have built 32 separate pools. We were able to use two of them. You adjust the temperature by adding water to make it warmer. The springs are so relaxing and rejuvenating. After soaking for about 2 hours, Antonio feeds you a delicious lunch of grilled steak and chicken with a wide variety of grilled vegetables too. He also serves the most amazing lemonade. There is a little shop/food vendor onsite that you can purchase beers and sodas. It’s not fancy but will feed and hydrate you, but Antonio’s food is so much better! After the hot springs you travel back to PV and stop in Bucerias for a 1 hour massage on the beach. This is seriously one of the best day activities I’ve ever booked. Take this tour and you will be very happy!

Hot Springs Experience. - On our drive to the Hot Springs, we stopped in a small town to get local fruits and vegetables that Sergio would make for our lunch. We also saw how tortillas were made at a tortilla factory. Sergio told us about the history and the way of life in the towns we went through on our way up the mountain. The Hot Springs were like an oasis in the trees! When relaxing in the mineral water, Sergio served us fruit, guacamole and lemonade, then he grilled chicken, steak and the vegetables for lunch. It was delicious! After the mineral bath we went to Bucerias for an amazing hour massage on the beach. The attention to detail was impeccable! Sergio was prompt, friendly and informative. All in all it was a fantastic day and we would definitely recommend the experience.

Hot Springs in a beautiful setting with delicious bbq - My wife and I were looking for something different to do while visiting Puerto Vallarta. We heard about the hot springs and did some research. It’s possible to rent a vehicle and drive to the hot springs but they are more inland and out of the way. The road is passable during the dry season and a rental car can make it, but it’s very bumpy and a lot of dirt roads. We chose this tour because all the reviews were so positive. Antonio was super accommodating and an amazing host. He arranged to pick us up at our AirBnB since we were on the way to the springs. He drives a GMC Yukon that is much better for handling bumps. The ride to the springs is about an hour. Once there, you will have about 2-3 hours to enjoy the springs and just relax while Antonio prepares a delicious lunch of grilled veggies and meat and chicken. There is a small family ran shop/restaurant onsite but it’s very basic. The food that Antonio provides is so much better! The hot springs are 100-106 degrees and are delightful. You just sit in them and relax and soak up all the healing minerals. You can even pay a little extra and get a mud mask. After the hot springs you are taken to a beach in Bucerías for a very nice massage on the beach. This is an all day activity. It was a great time and I highly recommend it!
