“The entire staff was welcoming and friendly. This was my first time zip lining so I was a little nervous but they were accommodating and made the excursion fun. The staff was also very professional. Honestly, I didnt even know we had so much to do. I thought we only had 3 things booked lol. But I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something to do while in PVR.”

“This was by far the worst ATV/UTV excursion I’ve ever been on. Out of a 3-hour tour, we only rode for about an hour, and the rest was spent sitting through a tequila sales pitch and waiting at a restaurant we didn’t even need. When we were at the restaurant we asked our tour guide if we could just head back. He said " if we go back ill have to fill out paperwork as to why we cut the tour short". So he said we will just hang out here for just 45 more minutes then head back. The RZR itself was in terrible condition—the check engine light was…”

7.ATV Tour R.R

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 402 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $110

Ride an ATV from Canopy River’s Las Glorias office into the Sierra Madre, crossing rugged trails to El Salto waterfall and river springs. Guides such as Alex, Eric, and Alejandro help first-time riders. Plan on 4 to 6 hours with transport, lunch time, swimming, and tequila tasting.

“The location of the ride was breathtaking, and the tequila tasting was cool. Some things that are not advertised: 1) The tour is definitely NOT 2 hours. It’s more like 5 (including transportation). So keep that in mind before booking. 2) After the ATV ride, they make you stay for an additional hour and 20 minutes at their restaurant. The food was great but bring money for food and drinks because it’s not included in the price. 3) Halfway through the ATV ride, you stop at a waterfall with the opportunity to get in the river. Bring swim gear if interested. Otherwise, we had a great time! We just wish…”

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

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

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…”

“Disappointing. The event didn't even leave until 10am (9am stated start time). The lead driver company employee was rude and seemed very angry to be there working. The trip was stalled for 45 mins while the whole group was made a marketing pitch for some tequila production company and then 5 mins back up the mountain to stall again for an hour. The employees said 40 mins and after an hour of them eating and playing on their phones, we went back down the mountain. We had to ask about the zip line portion because they were done and trying to get us to leave without getting that event. It…”
