Family Sunbuggy tour - Our family booked the sunbuggy tour to do during the week. We had a fabulous time on the sunbuggy and seeing the beautiful landscape of Puerto Vallarta. The tour guides were knowledgable, funny, and entertaining for the duration of the tour. Thank you for a fun experience!

A must do while in Puerto Vallarta - A FULL day of FUN! - We all 100 percent recommend this tour. Mario was amazing! He made the day so much fun! We had a smaller group and everyone checked in early, so we left about 945am and I believe we returned about 430pm, so it is definitely a full day! The first stop of our tour was at a roadside booth with multiple vendors where we were told to have the Mexican Breakfast (aka Coronitas) so bring some pesos/dollars to partake it that ;), then Mario took photos of everyone in front of Los Arcos while at that stop. They do ask you to email them after the tour and they send a Dropbox with the photos (we received them week after the tour 🎉). From there, we went to the Botanical Gardens, which was so beautiful. We walked down to the river and waded a bit through the rocks, checked out the different houses (succulent/cactus and orchid) and the Vanilla Plantation. There is a gift shop here as well as a bar/restaurant. Next stop was the Tequila Tasting - very low pressure sales - tequila was very good though. After that, it was off to the beach area where we all had lunch together. Mario takes your food order before you leave from the tequila tasting. Some of the options were fajitas, quesadillas, burger, chile relleno. Plus, he ordered guacamole for the table. The food was good. You can order drinks on your own tab when you arrive at the restaurant. After lunch we were able to choose between a boat ride (snorkel off boat is optional and included) or lounging on the beach, where you could continue with table service beverages if you so wished. We opted for the boat ride, which was so neat. We were able to see manta and sting rays in one of the Arcos. We learned about the area and did a little snorkeling in a roped off area. Life jackets, snorkels and masks are provided for snorkeling. Then it was a nice ride straight back to the starting point. I do have to say, I booked direct on their website but I was a little leery if our reservation was totally accepted because once payment is submitted it just says “Thank you. Your order has been received.” - there was no email/text follow-up with a confirmation or additional information. Then, I wasn’t 100 percent sure where we started, I couldn’t find that information on their website. I did email about that, but didn’t receive an email back. But we arrived at Calle Columbia 1324 5 de Decembre - which was the contact information on their website (and now I see if here on TripAdvisor) and it was the right location, thankfully! I would recommend this tour over and over again - it was a fun day out and so neat to see other parts of Puerto Vallarta. Mario is a gem of a human and we enjoyed our time with him.

Buggys, Flowers, Tequila, Whales , Dolphins and Lunch! This tour had it all!! - A great way to spend a day seeing the sights and experiencing some of the local cultures. The Buggys are a bit older but the tour team is amazing and will ensure you get where you need to go and have a great time! The Buggys are a bit loud but didn’t take away from the experience in my opinion.

Great time in the Sunbuggy - This was so much fun. A great way to see PV. Stops at the botanical gardens and tequila tasting were great. Finished off with a great lunch at Mismaloya beach. Would recommend this for everyone visiting PV.

An awesome way to experience PV! - We went on the Sun Buggy tour on March 18th - and it was an awesome day and a fun way to see PV! It is a great value and includes EVERYTHING! The guys who ran the tour - Christian and Mario the photographer were personable, helpful, and FUN! I highly recommend this excursion as an amazing way to get to the South side of the bay and get off the beaten path! The buggies are FUN and make everyone smile who sees the caravan coming down the road!

interesting - other travellers should know that it’s a really good experience and all the excursions are good but the buggies frequently break down and the engines are kind of old and it’s very rusty so it’s also a stick shift. They’re personally very hard to drive but I think it’s a good experience if you get a driver.
