Experience Details

Escape the tourist hustle of Puerto Vallarta and immerse yourself in the authentic local culture of Nayarit with a private tour for up to four people—all for a single fee. Enjoy the comfort of private transport as we take you to explore three charming beach towns: Lo de Marcos, Los Ayala, and Guayabitos.


We’ll begin in Lo de Marcos, a vibrant town where you’ll sample authentic Mexican cocoa and stroll through its colorful streets, capturing the essence of traditional Mexican life. Next, in Los Ayala, we’ll head to the stunning ‘Frideras’ beach, accessible only via a short jungle walk—an untouched paradise hidden from the crowds!


Our final stop is Guayabitos, where you can wander its local shops and relax on its crystal-clear beach. Here, you’ll have time to enjoy a delicious meal, a refreshing drink, and soak up the laid-back, local atmosphere. For an added adventure, we offer an optional visit to beautiful Coral Island, just off Guayabitos (additional cost).
