Sayulita & San Pancho Day Trip from Puerto Vallarta with Tequila

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

10 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English and 1 more

Sayulita is the surf town everyone talks about, and San Pancho is the one locals keep to themselves. See both in one day, without renting a car or figuring out the highway.

Your bilingual guide tells the story of the coast as you head north along Banderas Bay. First stop: a family stand of traditional Mexican sweets to taste. Then explore San Pancho, a relaxed village of art, surf and a long golden beach. Next, a ranch just outside Sayulita welcomes you for a tequila tasting, with its restaurant right there if you want lunch. Then the afternoon is yours: two hours of free time in Sayulita to walk the main square, browse the shops, watch the surfers or take a lesson.

No surprises, upfront: pickup is between 7:40 and 11:00 am depending on your hotel, and you're back around 5:45 pm. Lunch and drinks are paid at the ranch restaurant, so bring some cash. Sayulita and San Pancho are on the same time as Puerto Vallarta.
