Despite some rough seas and murky water, we still had a great time exploring with the Sayulita Entourage team. Our dive master (Jamie) was fantastic - we all felt safe the entire time, and the boat crew was excellent as well, even letting one of us borrow a thermal layer for the second dive after getting cold during the first dive.

We did the hike to the waterfalls—well the waterfalls were dry because it’s too dry but who cares? The hike was beautiful, our guide, Fein, was so incredibly nice and knowledgeable and personable. Dez was incredibly helpful and answered every question we had (we had a lot).We only did half the hike ending at the first beach of three—time constraints and a bad knee—so at the half way point we took a water taxi to the restaurant. The restaurant was on the beach, the food was plentiful and surprisingly delicious! I had told Dez it was my birthday and the restaurant had a birthday surprise dessert and the wait staff sang Happy Birthday. It was a lovely touch. I can’t say enough good things about Dez and her excursion. It was super!

JP put together an amazing workshop! I had such a blast spending the afternoon with him. He is extremely knowledgeable in a variety of different forms of photography and loves sharing his knowledge and teaching others. He had some amazing spots lined up that would have taken me weeks of research to find on my own. I definitely walked away with some new knowledge and additional tools added to my tool belt. I loved the photos that I walked away with from my trip as well. I absolutely recommend JP to anyone interested!

The route between Sayulita and San Pancho Some people travel on foot from Sayulita to San Pancho, as the hour-long hike through beaches and lush jungle trails is lovely. However, because our tour lasts six hours, we take you from one town to the other through Highway 200 on a route of approximately 5 minutes. You and your group will enjoy all the landscapes, sounds and flavors that these two villages have to offer while you walk along their avenues, buy souvenirs and meet people so friendly that you will feel happy from beginning to end. Swimming in Sayulita and San Pancho. On this tour of the beautiful coastal towns of Sayulita and San Pancho, we give our guests plenty of free time to enjoy a snack or have a delicious drink at local restaurants and bars, explore the boutiques and swim when conditions permit.
Inclusions: Transport, Bilingual guides, Purified water, lunch

This is a great little getaway. The boat ride is basically a booz cruise there and back. The food was nice, but not amazing. Buffet style. We did VIP thinking we would get open bar, turns out everyone gets open bar. The only thing VIP did for is to get us on & off the boat 1st and better seats for the show. However the theater is pretty intimate so I think everyone had decent seats. Not worth the extra cost at all. The show is fantastic. Almost at the level of a Vegas show, but in the middle of the jungle.

This trip is highly recommended. My wife and I were staying in Sayulita and met with the tour operators and driver right off the town square across from Coco Banana. The van ride to the marina was about 20 minutes. The boat/catamaran was awesome! Came with a lower and upper deck, two water slides from the top deck, a couple hammocks and comfy seating all around. The service and crew were top notch. Everyone was polite, funny and welcoming. They started off serving us fruit, pastries and whatever you wanted to drink for breakfast (alcohol or nonalcoholic) and provided nonstop fun and service the whole way to the islands. Once you get to the islands, you are transported in a smaller boat to an area where it is safe to swim to the islands themselves where you you can get some amazing pictures and see sights not many will ever experience. The ride back is just as fun, if not more so. You continue with as many drinks as you'd like. We had fajitas for lunch, which were delicious, and we did a bit of fishing off the back on the way home. Overall 6 outta 5 rating. Love these folks and will definitely be back for more tours

A must-do if you're visiting Puerto Vallarta. Our guide Chris made sure we enjoyed ourselves the entire time. I appreciate that he kept checking on me since I was a first timer. We did the 3 hour tour, which I would recommend since it seemed like the time went by fast. It was a full 3 hours though. The ATVs are easy to operate. We enjoyed stopping to check out the views and taking a quick dip in the river. Chris even took some very amazing pictures of us. The last stop you’ll make is at a small restaurant to get food/drinks (cash only). We will definitely do the tour again on our next trip to PV.
