Amazing Experience - This is a one-of-a-kind experience. While Sayulita might be easier to reach, the hidden gem that our guide, Antonio, brought us to was so amazing and so away from the crowd of Sayulita. The food that he prepared was so delicious. I highly recommend this trip if you’re looking for some chill, quiet and good food experience.

We had a full day adventure to Sayulita with its beautiful beaches. - Jose Antonio is a very fun, attentive and knowledgeable tour guide. He showed us all around Sayulita and then prepared an amazing lunch for us at a secluded jungle beach. He thought about all of our needs in advance from chilled drinks and towels to cut the midday heat. We had plenty of time to explore the town of Sayulita before our special lunch. We stopped on our way there at a local roadside outdoor market to sample fresh local fruits and traditional sweets. Once in Sayulita Jose Antonio took us to his favorite taco joint for a small bite to fuel our adventure. We highly recommend his tour to anyone looking for a personalized experience.

Best day trip ever - Amazing does it no justice. It was a trip we will tell everyone about and goes down as one of our best excursions ever! Antonio was a first class host and made sure the whole crew was well tended to. The highlight was definitely the bbq fish lunch for me since I love fish and couldn’t wait to try the traditional cooking method. I would definitely recommend!

Outstanding Day Trip - Our experience was very pleasant! The drive was beautiful through the mountain pass. Sayulita was cute. But the best was our driver, the private beach he took us to relax and have the best fish i ever had!

An Absolute Must-Do in PV - Just to echo what the other reviewers have already said, Antonio executed the absolutely perfect tour to Sayulita. I had the absolute pleasure of being the only one on the tour, and my private tour went flawlessly. After being picked up, we made a stop at a roadside market to pickup some local snacks and souvenirs. We proceeded to Sayulita and hit up an amazing taco place. Antonio then proceeded to show me around the town, and we made another stop for souvenirs and fresh produce for the upcoming lunch. We then drove to this private beach, and this part of the day was the absolute highlight for me. Antonio cooked up an absolutely incredible lunch of fish, shrimp and grilled vegetables. All this proceeded by an amazing fruit plate. There was legit enough food for 3-4 people (and I eat a lot). At the beach I swam, then we headed back to PV, where Antonio dropped me off right in front of my hotel. Absolutely perfect day. Would rate 100/10 if I could.

This was a truly... - This was a truly spectacular tour. The driver picked us up in the Suburban and on the way we stopped for some amazing mexican sweets. We then proceeded to beach and had a very relaxing 2 hours to self explore. When we were the done the driver took us to a private beach and cooked us an amazing fish lunch over the fire. We were stuffed and the food was amazing. We then proceeded back to our hotel. A lovely and relaxed and very private (just us two) full day tour.

Five star excursion!!! - First of all, Antonio outdid himself. We booked this excursion as a group of 3 and it was even better than expected! We had a scheduling issue and Antonio was able to accommodate us immediately. He then picked us up in a comfortable private vehicle with ac and really took the time to get to know us but also educated us a lot about the history of Mexico and Sayulita. Antonio was able to give us our space to walk around and explore on our own and then took us to a private beach where we were the only ones enjoying a breathtaking view. While we walked along the beach and enjoyed a few waves, he made the most delicious 3 course meals. His hospitality, thoughtfulness and service made all the difference in this excursion being one of our top favorite. Thank you!!

Information needs updated but good excursion. The guide is great. - Nice day trip with plenty of time in all the stops. Need to update the information to clearly state there is a trek downhill through uneven loose terrain and sturdy shoes are recommended. Our information stated sandals were okay. They are not. Also it should be noted there are no restroom or changing facilities at the beach portion. I would have dressed differently had I been aware.

Dangerous Hike to Beach - The twon portion of this excursion was wonderful. The second half was lunch at a private beach. Unfortunately the drive to the beach was down a 1 lane dirt road. And the hike into the beach was down a "goat trail" with steep cut out. None of this was mentioned in the advertisement. For seniors such as myself this hiker was dangerous.
