Another amazing tour with Luna Tours and Hiking
We spent another wonderful day with Alejandro, owner of Luna Tours and Hiking. This was our 2nd time booking with him, and as before, our experience was exceptional. If you are looking for a small group, intimate tour, Alejandro and his company can't be beat.

Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had such a great experience with Alejandro, while visiting Nayarit! We actually ended up using his services twice during our trip, which says a lot about how much we enjoyed having him as our guide. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. He knew so much about the area and took us to places we probably never would have discovered on our own, which made our trip feel even more special. You can tell he genuinely cares about giving his guests a great experience, and we really appreciated how easy and enjoyable he made both of our days with him. If you’re visiting Nayarit or Puerto Vallarta and looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and professional, I would highly recommend him. We’ll definitely be reaching out again the next time we’re in the area!

Amazing Experience!
We had an amazing private tour! Everything was well organized, and the experience was unforgettable. Alejandro was an outstanding guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Alejandro as your guide!

Amazing experience with Alejandro.
Alejandro was an exceptional guide. He was well-versed in local customs and culture. He pulled over along the trip when he saw a chance for us to get a glimpse into daily life in the area. Though we have been to Puerto Vallarta many times, We learned a great deal during our tour. If you are looking for a rich cultural experience in a private tour, this is the one for you! Thank you so much, Alejandro. We really appreciated our experience.

Private Tour, Sayulita & San Pancho: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Private Tour, Sayulita & San Pancho cost?
+
Prices start at $340 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour, Sayulita & San Pancho take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.
Is Private Tour, Sayulita & San Pancho worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 186 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour, Sayulita & San Pancho?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour, Sayulita & San Pancho suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour, Sayulita & San Pancho?
+
Around 65 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour, Sayulita & San Pancho start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Taco Adventure Evening Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
