Amazing experience - What an amazing tour guide Erik is. What a gem, he shared the history of the area. He was considerate of his passengers needs. He made a world of difference with his excellent communication. Thank you for a memorable tour.

Relaxing Journey - Quaint village town (San Pancho) lovely but rough beach the day of my visit. Only a short visit; Golden Gate Bridge was an attraction. Sayulita was also a small village town but bustling with activity. The beach was lively and beautiful; the food at the beach club restaurant was very good. Very relaxing atmosphere.

Very fun day! - A unique experience that culminated with a lovely lunch (w/drinks) on the Sayulita beach. Both towns, San Pancho and Sayulita, are charming Mexican towns. The tequila tasting was fun, and the visit to an opal jewelry store was good (lots of beautiful pieces). The driver and guide were excelente! Realamente disfrute’ el dia!

Saylulita & San Francisco: easy day trip. - This booking to Saylulita is a great air day adventure. We had a 30 minute stop in San Francisco and that was far too short. Would be worth the whole day trip to explore this little town. San Pancho; we simply drove through. Soyulita has lots of vendors & shops to wander through. It’s pure Beachtown in every sense of the word. We didn’t test out the water. Curious enough on our way to town we stopped for 45 minutes at a jewellery shop and that’s time I’m not gonna get back. Next time I would rent at car at the airport for this day trip, the Tour this was a bit of easier button! Pricing was fair.

Sayulita Tour - Disappointing for price of 154.95 cad for my husband and I. No real information or highlight on this tour and stopped at a jewelry store yet again. I could of took a local bus of 240Pesos and got the same out of it. Regards!

Disappointed. - I was really disappointed in this tour. I was expecting a lot of history and more information about the area. Basically it was a glorified shopping trip. I will not do this tour again.

Spend your time and money on something else. - This tour was a letdown. We were dropped off about half a mile from downtown, which meant we didn’t even get to see or experience the actual town of Sayulita. Instead, we were basically stuck on the beach the whole time. Sitting under an umbrella was included, but that was about it. Boogie boards were mentioned as part of the tour, yet they were never offered to us. The whole setup felt lazy and unorganized. If you’re looking for more than just sitting on a crowded beach, this isn’t it. And while some people complain about the bus ride, that’s at least something you can check ahead of time on Google—so no surprises there. The real disappointment was the lack of access to the downtown and the missed opportunities to explore what makes Sayulita special. Spend your time and money on something else.
