Excellent Day driving FUN cars!!
This is such a great day out! The staff is so professional and friendly and made sure that all of us had an amazing time. We had the perfect amount of time at the Botanical gardens. The tequila tasting was fun and very imformative. The beach stop at Mismaloya beach was also delightful! Great food and then a trip out on the water to see Los Arcos and turtles! We chose not to snorkle, but could easily have. The entire day was well planned and executed! Thank you TEAM! you are awesome, and I will look forward to doing this each time I am in Puerta Vallarta!
Response from the operator: Thanks for choosing us, and its good to know that you really had a good time, we hope to know about you next time, we have to many options for activities in Puerto Vallarta, Cabo and Cancun.

Sunbuggys puerto Vallarta! Vacay with mom and dad! Great memories.
Great job to the team!!! We travelled with elderly parents 80 and 75 with mobility issues (they usually walk with a cane slowly). The team took absolutely great care of all Of us. They had a guide car, fuel truck and mechanic in case someone broke down. Note you must be able to drive a standard. I drove my dad and my hubby drove with my mom! They guide you through traffic and take pics along the way!! We loved the entire experience Botanical gardens were gorgeous we wished we had just a little more time there. Tequila tasting was great! It is along a river! A few favs for sure! Nice to see the country side on the drive! The beach and dinner was also very good! Drinks were pricy at the restaurant on the beach. (They were not included with the meal or water. Just bring your own bottle of water). Then they take you snorkelling near los Arcos or you can sit on Mismaloya beach! Win win. Great job team if your looking for a little adventure this is a great way to go! We all loved it! Thank you Sunbuggys!!!! Puerto Vallarta!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sun Buggy Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Sun Buggy Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $225 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 Sun Buggy Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 Sun Buggy Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 75 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sun Buggy Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Sun Buggy Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sun Buggy Tour?
+
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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sun Buggy Tour 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.
