4 Mountain ATV Tours in Puerto Vallarta Worth the Deposit

1.ATV OR RZR- Escape to the mountains for 4 hours

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 293 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $110Our pick

You drive your own ATV or ride as a passenger through the Sierra Madre from Puerto Vallarta. Expect narrow dirt roads, Los Llanitos, the La Joyita viewpoint, a mountain restaurant stop, safety gear, and a tequila tasting for adults. Bring a mouth covering for dusty stretches.

“The Sierra Madres are steep and lush with extremely small “villages” peppered throughout. This tour takes you on the very narrow and rugged dirt road system that winds in and out of a few very sparsely populated towns (you see a max of 5 “buildings” in one location). It’s authentic and real (with the exception of the tequila tasting…. They should drop that… we actually like tequila). If I were to come back, I’d work with the tour company to bring supplies to donate to/visit the village school. It only goes to middle school. If they are lucky, they move to PV to continue into high school and beyond. Great…”

“Terrible check-in process with the rudest girl telling me we cancelled our reservation which we did not. We had tickets, email confirmation, proof on Viator and credit card charge on bank app. Just terrible and so disappointed. Spent more time on stops than actual driving. Never again!”

“Loved being in the mountains and tasting tequilla and making tortillas. German (not sure of the spelling) was a great guide and a safe driver too. I highly recommend...3 hours long, allowed us to still have some time in PV and make it back to our cruise ship by 5:30.”
