Excellent tour, Highly Recommend
We had a great time on this tour. The Sun Buggy is a cute vehicle. It was much easier to view the surroundings than in a tour van or bus. Chistian was an excellent guide and his 2 employees certainly helped. At each stop they would move the cars around so we were ready to head to the next location. We really enjoyed going to the Botanical Garden. We love seeing (what for us are house plants) the tropical plants growing where they should. Seei ng Los Arcos from the road and then up close on a boat was fun. The tequila tasting is always interesting. Lunch was excellent. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour.

Best Day Ever in Puerto Vallarta
Funnest trip & Exceeded our expectations! We got to the location in Puerto Vallarta which is a couple blocks north of the beach & met our tour guide Christian. He let us choose our buggy & then we filled out the required papers until the departure time; the office was very clean & had Air conditioning & Banos. After the others arrived Christian gave us a "Safety Brief " so we would know what when & how to keep the group together. Once we started out, the Fun began; our itinerary was Perfect! It was a full day & once outside of the city, the roads were very twisty which made the drive very entertaining. Our 1st stop was short & overlooked the ocean and then onto the next stop which was a Botanical garden; the Time flew by. The next stop was for a Tasting & tour of a local distillery which was very refreshing. We had lunch next & the food was delicious. Our final stop was a chance to get out on the water for swimming/snorkeling. It was an Amazing Day. My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and I will tell anyone to YES, go to SunBuggy for your Tour!!

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sun Buggy Tours Puerto Vallarta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Sun Buggy Tours Puerto Vallarta cost?
+
Prices start at $149 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 Tours Puerto Vallarta 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 Tours Puerto Vallarta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 157 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 Sun Buggy Tours Puerto Vallarta?
+
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 Sun Buggy Tours Puerto Vallarta 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 Tours Puerto Vallarta?
+
Around 55 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 Tours Puerto Vallarta 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 Sun Buggy Tours Puerto Vallarta?
+
Included: Complimentary boat tour departing from Mismaloya Beach; Lunch; Use of snorkeling equipment; Drive or Ride in the Buggy; and Expert Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Sun Buggy Tours Puerto Vallarta?
+
Tour departs promptly at 10:00AM. Time does not permit us to wait for late arrivals, so be sure to plan accordingly. All participants must arrive by 9:30AM to complete briefing and paperwork prior to departure. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Sun Buggy Tours Puerto Vallarta offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sun Buggy Tours Puerto Vallarta?
+

Is Sun Buggy Tours Puerto Vallarta wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
