Puerto Vallarta ATV Riding Private Mountain AdventurePrivate ATV riding in Puerto Vallarta takes you offroading through Sierra Madre trails, past downtown views, into Rio Cuale for a swim, and to the lighthouse overlooking the bay—a 3-hour adventure where you operate the ATV after a tutorial and test ride, with a guide who uses hand signals to lead. The operator provides helmets, goggles, bandanas and fuel; you bring a swimsuit and bug spray if you want them, and the minimum age is 16 with a valid driver permit (passengers as young as 6 can ride along).Is it for me?Book this if you're riding with family or a small group and want to set your own rhythm—the guide adjusts stops and trail time to what suits your group, so nobody is rushed through the mountains or held back at the river.
Puerto Vallarta: ATV & RZR Jorullo Bridge with Waterfall & TequilaYou drive your own ATV or RZR across the Jorullo Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in Latin America, with stops at El Salto waterfall for swimming and a mountain bar for refreshments. The five-hour experience includes round transport from the office, jungle roads through the Sierra Madre, photo time on the bridge itself, and a tequila tasting back at the facilities. Bring a valid driver's license, swimsuit, and closed shoes; this tour runs in all weather.Is it for me?Book this if you want to drive something yourself rather than sit in a tour van, and you're comfortable on dirt roads in the mountains — the five-hour day is built around the drive time and the bridge crossing, which is what makes both feel unhurried.
Puerto Vallarta: Sierra Madre ATV Tour & Tequila TastingYou’ll ride an ATV through winding Sierra Madre trails from Puerto Vallarta, splash at El Salto waterfall, and share laughs (plus tequila) with your local guide. Expect muddy boots, canyon views, hotel pickup—and a sense of adventure that sticks with you longer than any souvenir.
Puerto Vallarta: ATV, Zipline & Tequila Tasting Combo TourYou’ll tear down ATV trails near Puerto Vallarta with a local guide leading the way, cool off swimming at El Salto’s natural pools, fly over the river on ziplines high above the trees, then wind down with a mule ride and tequila tasting session. Expect laughter, splashes, maybe a little dust — and memories that stick with you longer than any souvenir.
Puerto Vallarta: ATV & RZR Sierra Madre Tour with Tequila TastingYou’ll ride ATVs or RZRs from Puerto Vallarta into the Sierra Madre mountains with local guides leading the way. Expect muddy trails, mountain views, lunch by a river at Rancho mi Abuelo (with time to swim), plus a guided tequila tasting at Tequilera Vallejo before heading back.
Puerto Vallarta: Private ATV Sierra Madre Tour & Tequila TastingYou’ll ride ATVs through winding mountain trails outside Puerto Vallarta, splash across rivers, pause in quiet villages, and cool off by waterfalls if you want. A local guide keeps things easygoing and personal — plus there’s a proper tequila tasting at the end. It’s not polished or fancy; it’s just honest fun in the Sierra Madre hills.
Sayulita ATV Tour from Puerto Vallarta: Mountain Trails & Fishing VillageYou drive your own UTV through mountain trails and creek beds from Puerto Vallarta to Sayulita, a small fishing village with a surf and arts scene. The guide leads the route, but you control the vehicle and the pace. The four to five hour trip includes transport, helmet, a light snack, and free time to explore Sayulita on your own. Bring a valid driver's license if you're driving, wear jeans and comfortable shoes, and confirm your pickup location before the day of the tour.Is it for me?Book this if you want to drive yourself through real terrain instead of watching it from a bus window, and you're comfortable with a few hours of bouncing over dirt roads to reach a place that doesn't feel like a tour destination — the UTV and the guide are what make the route possible without needing your own vehicle or navigation.
ATV Riding Puerto Vallarta: Private El Eden AdventurePrivate ATV riding adventure from Puerto Vallarta to El Eden, a jungle paradise and former film set where you ride intermediate-level trails, swim in the river, and decide how long to spend at each stop.

Minimum age is 16 with a valid driver's license; passengers can be as young as 6.Is it for me?Book this if you're an intermediate ATV rider who wants to control your own pace and stops — the private format means you spend as long as you want at El Eden's river and trails, or skip the village stop entirely and ride deeper into the mountains instead. Single or double riders work equally well; just bring your valid driver's license and a swimsuit.

ATV riding in Puerto Vallarta: Sierra Madre trails and waterfallATV riding in Puerto Vallarta's Sierra Madre takes you on a 3-hour off-road route through mountain trails, creek crossings and small villages, with stops at a panoramic viewpoint, a waterfall for swimming, and a working ranch where you learn to make tortillas and taste tequila. A professional guide in English or Spanish rides with you; helmet, goggles and protective gear are provided. Minimum driving age is 16 with a valid permit; children from age 6 can ride double on one quad bike with an adult.Is it for me?Choose the double quad bike if you want to ride together with a partner, or pick the single quad if you prefer to operate your own bike solo. The UTV options suit riders who want a larger vehicle with more seating; the quad bikes are lighter and more nimble on the mountain trails and creek crossings.
Puerto Vallarta: Sierra Madre ATV Tour & Riverside LunchYou’ll ride ATVs from Puerto Vallarta’s lively streets straight into quiet mountain villages and along river trails in the Sierra Madre. Expect laughter with your guide, a riverside lunch stop where you can relax or swim, and glimpses of daily life far from the tourist crowds.

Drivers must hold a valid license; passengers aged 16+ may drive with an adult present.Is it for me?Book this if you want to drive yourself rather than sit as a passenger on a guided tour—the machine and the terrain are yours to navigate, and the small-group format means the guide adjusts to your pace instead of keeping to a fixed schedule.

Helmets, guide in English or Spanish, and round-trip pickup from your hotel are included; you choose morning or afternoon departure.Is it for me?Book the individual quad bike if you have a current driver's license and want to control the ride yourself through the mountain terrain; choose the double quad bike if you'd rather have someone else navigate the off-road sections while you take in the views and focus on the stops. Morning or afternoon departure lets you fit the ride around the rest of your day in Vallarta.
Puerto Vallarta: ATV Sierra Madre & Hot Springs with TequilaYou ride your own ATV through two mountain villages, taste tequila with locals, soak in natural thermal pools, and return to base camp after four hours of actual driving time. The guide handles navigation and safety; you handle the throttle. Lunch is available nearby but separate from the tour price.Is it for me?This is for riders who want to explore Puerto Vallarta's mountain villages under their own power rather than watch from a passenger seat — the four-hour drive time is what makes the remote villages and natural pools reachable in one morning.

The five-hour experience operates in all weather, and you'll pass through traditional Mexican villages away from tourist areas.Is it for me?This ride suits experienced riders or confident beginners with high fitness and a valid driver permit — the advanced terrain and five-hour duration demand both physical stamina and comfort on rough ground. If spinal injuries, pregnancy or cardiovascular concerns apply to you, this activity is not the right fit.
Sierra Madre Horseback Riding and ATV Tour from Puerto VallartaA 5-hour tour from Puerto Vallarta combines horseback riding through the tropical jungle of the Sierra Madre Mountains with ATV riding across rivers in the village of Las Palmas, ending at a ranch where lunch and unlimited drinks are served. The guide speaks English or Spanish, and pickup from designated meeting points is included. Children from age 1 are welcome, though the tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal or cardiovascular concerns.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to ride two different vehicles and cover more ground than a single-activity tour allows. The combination of horseback and ATV means you experience both the quiet of the forest and the rush of river crossings in one afternoon, and the ranch lunch breaks up the physical activity so the day doesn't feel like a single long ride.
Half day and longer (1)
Puerto Vallarta: Speed Boat, Zipline & Jungle ATV ComboYou speed across the bay past Los Arcos, ride an unimog up a jungle road to the zipline base, then work through 19 canopy lines at your own pace. After, you can swim in the river, try the tequila tasting, or paddle kayaks before the boat returns you to Puerto Vallarta. The day is built so you're always moving between activities, and nothing overlaps — you get three separate experiences without dead time between them.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want three separate activities in one day without arranging transport between them — the boat, unimog, and ziplines are sequenced back-to-back so you're not waiting or figuring out logistics between each one.
