Experience Details

Escape the tourist crowds of Puerto Vallarta and dive into the authentic culture of Nayarit on a private tour for up to 4 people (larger groups welcome—email us for details).

We’ll meet you at convenient locations throughout Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay, then take you in private comfort to explore three charming beach towns: Lo de Marcos, Los Ayala, and Guayabitos.

Begin in Lo de Marcos, a vibrant town where you can taste authentic Mexican cocoa and stroll through colorful streets, soaking in traditional local life. Next, head to Los Ayala and discover the stunning Frideras Beach, accessible only via a short jungle walk—an untouched paradise away from the crowds.

Finish your journey in Guayabitos, where you can wander local shops, relax on the crystal-clear beach, and enjoy a delicious meal and refreshing drinks. For extra adventure, an optional visit to the beautiful Coral Island is available (additional cost).

We really enjoyed seeing these “off the beaten path“ beach communities. The vehicle was very comfortable. Each of the different beach towns was a bit different than the next.
