Description

Good to Know

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).

Excellent tour excelente

Alejandro was a great guide! He was flexible and customized our tour to work for our time/interests. He was kind and knowledgeable and very nice to chat with throughout the day. He took us to beautiful beaches and led us through beautiful towns we would not have visited otherwise. Gracias, Alejandro fue un día muy agradable! Tu orgullo y amor por tu estado es evidente y fue un gusto conocer Nayarit contigo.

THE BEST tour operator in Mexico

Luna Tours and Hiking, lead by Alejandro and Moises, is by far, one of the best tour companies I have every come across. Not just in Mexico, but anywhere in the world - and I've traveled a lot. They are knowledgable, friendly, experienced and best of all, treat you like family. Over the years, we've taken many tours from them - Sayulita, Los Colomitos, snorkeling, city tours, etc. Look them up, read other reviews. Book a tour with them in Puerto Vallarta - you will not be sorry!

Amazing hikes with Alex - one in the Sierra Madre and one along the coast

I met Alex in 2022, when he took me on a wonderful hike along the coast near Puerto Vallarta - it was the highlight of that trip. I knew that when I took my husband and three young adult children to Sayulita this past December I would have Alex take us hiking. I booked him in October to avoid disappointment. He took us on a breathtaking hike along the coast with a stop at a quiet, calm, protected beach where we swam, ending up at a small town. We LOVED it. Alex knows the names of almost every ...read more

Great trip with Alejandro!

This was such a worthwhile experience! Each of the charming towns that we visited really showed a wonderful, vibrant slice of Mexican life. Each of the towns were beach – oriented, but every one of them had a very specific vibe of its own.

Outstanding day trip

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.
