    An Awesome, Muddy Adventure with Beautiful Waterfall Views

    The UTV ride was awesome and incredibly fun, but it felt a bit too short! Because the travel time to get to and from the site is much longer than the actual activity time, we really wished the ride could have lasted a bit more. The UTVs themselves were very easy to drive. Since it had rained the night before, we had plenty of mud puddles to tear through—and boy, did we get drenched in mud! The experience also includes a short hike leading to a beautiful waterfall where you can jump in and swim. There were even two sweet dogs up there playing with the kids and enjoying the water. However, we had mixed experiences with the staff during our visit on Thursday, July 30th. One of our initial guides (I cannot recall his name) focused his attention entirely on the English-speaking, white American travelers in our group. Even though we were also traveling from the US, we felt a bit left out and excluded based on our appearance. On the flip side, once we arrived at the actual activity site, Emiliano was fantastic—super nice and incredibly attentive! The photographer was also great and made the experience special.

    Response from the operator: Hola, Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the muddy UTV ride, the waterfall swim, and the beautiful setting, even wishing you had more time behind the wheel! We’re especially happy Emiliano and our photographer made you feel well cared for. We’re sorry you felt overlooked at the beginning. Every guest deserves to feel welcomed and included, and we’ll share your feedback with our team. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better experience. 😊 Warm regards,

    Super Fun ATV tour

    Highly recommend this tour, it’s so much even if you’re not an outdoor adventurous person, Tommy and Emiliano were super educational on how to use the ATVs and made sure everyone felt comfortable driving on the trail. The waterfall was the best so refreshing would come back again !

    Response from the operator: Hola Daniel, Nothing beats discovering hidden trails and cooling off at a waterfall after an exciting ATV ride! We're thrilled Tommy and Emiliano helped you feel confident from the very beginning, making the adventure fun for everyone. Thank you for your recommendation—we'll be ready when it's time for your next ride through the Sierra Madre! 😊 Warm regards,

    Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.

    How much does Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $229 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 Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari take?

    +

    Plan for about 6.5 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 Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 266 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 Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari?

    +

    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 Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari?

    +

    Around 93 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari 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.

    What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari?

    +

    Included: Professional guide; Light snack; Use of UTV and helmet; and Purified water. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Gratuities; and An insurance fee is payable at check-in, covering up to $400 USD for any damage/collision. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari?

    +

    Please contact Vallarta Adventures if you have any questions regarding meeting details and check in instructions. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Puerto Vallarta All Terrain UTV Safari if the weather is bad?
