Decently organized. They...
Decently organized. They get you out of the city streets safely and up to the mountains. The tequila tasting was good and in a nice spot. Luckily the waterfall was running and we got to take a dip in it at the 2nd stop, where we had some great shrimp tacos. The RZR was in decent shape. Don’t expect to get too much of an offroad thrilling experience. About half of the trip is either paved or cobblestone and the dirt roads are pretty well maintained.

Highly recommend
Great experience, super fun, and great staff!
Response from the operator: We really appreciate and thank you for taking the time to write this honest and great review. We have had over 90 000 happy customers in 18 years of business in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. We ask all of our customers to write us a review but very few customers actually take the time.😥 It seems everyone we ask to write us a review says "YES we will gladly write you a great review. UNFORTUNATELY getting people to write a reviews has been difficult when they return with their Cool Rental or Tour they are extremely happy and say they will write us an awesome review but when they leave our store carry on with their vacation forgetting to write us that great review. BUT... when we have an unhappy/disgruntled customer we are surely guaranteed a bad review. That is why this review is so appreciated and means alot to us. Thanks Again from all of us at COOL RENTALS & TOURS 👍😁

PASS for this tour ...
Unfortunately, I have to write this review after unsuccessfully getting a refund for the tequila scam. More than that, we are from Colorado but now live full-time in Puerto Vallarta. We took our son and my mom on this tour thinking it would be more "adventurous" than the last excursion we took with another outfit based on the website and pictures. We thought it was also cool to stop by a their tequila tasting. Long story short, it was pretty mild and the local/homegrown tequila was literally water - see pictures. They poured it on thick with the samples, supporting the locals, etc. and we usually are all for it but when the bottles literally froze we knew we were scammed. I asked for our money back only for the tequila (not the tour) with no success and had to decline the charge on my credit card. Living here we know how hard locals work but it is also important to also right a wrong which they did not do after giving them the opportunity. Also, if you comfortable with ATVs then I would pass on this guided tour. It's also to note that the river they're talking about is at the restaurant and not a separate stop.
Response from the operator: Flavored tequilas are less potent.🤷 Especially cream flavors 🤷 If you want potent tequila we recommend buying non flavor and cream flavors 😁 We really appreciate and thank you for taking the time to write this honest and great review.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
RZR(Side by Side) Tour Rio Cuale Sierra Madre Mountains & tequila: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does RZR(Side by Side) Tour Rio Cuale Sierra Madre Mountains & tequila cost?
+
Prices start at $138 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 RZR(Side by Side) Tour Rio Cuale Sierra Madre Mountains & tequila take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 RZR(Side by Side) Tour Rio Cuale Sierra Madre Mountains & tequila worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 74 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 RZR(Side by Side) Tour Rio Cuale Sierra Madre Mountains & tequila?
+
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 RZR(Side by Side) Tour Rio Cuale Sierra Madre Mountains & tequila suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book RZR(Side by Side) Tour Rio Cuale Sierra Madre Mountains & tequila?
+
Around 26 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does RZR(Side by Side) Tour Rio Cuale Sierra Madre Mountains & tequila 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, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats, Food & Mixology Tour:Tequila,Tacos, Mezcal and Agave Cocktails. 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.
