Puerto Vallarta · SIERRA MADRE TOURS
11 tours
Good sierra madre tours fill up fast around Puerto Vallarta, especially between December and April. These 11 are the ones to lock in early, with current prices and what makes each one different.
Power through the Sierra Madre on an ATV from Puerto Vallarta, with small groups, included photo/video, and cantina and riverside stops.
“The guides were great. A little dusty but the team provides all that you need. The stops a long the way give you a glimpse of life in Mexico.”
Horseback riding in Sierra Madre from Puerto Vallarta with river crossings, hanging bridges, waterfall hike, and a full ranch lunch plus drinks.
“Very adventurous ride through the river (crossed back/forth multiple times). Hiked to a beautiful waterfall and then rode back to the ranch. Lunch was fantastic and the margaritas were refreshing. Highly recommend. The horses are well taken care of the dogs are friendly and run along during the ride.”
Private Puerto Vallarta ATV ride through the Sierra Madre with river crossings and tequila tasting, plus a flexible ranch lunch break.
“We had an all around great experience. The front desk staff was very accomodating! We contacted Jonathan to help change our original time, and there was no problem in getting that done. Our ride was with Franco and Minerva (Carmen) and they were both AWESOME, very knowledgeable in both the ATVs and the area. Another It was a tight private tour that was able to be amended however we wanted. I would absolutely recommend to family and friends!”
ATV or RZR through Sierra Madre villages, then soak in natural hot springs at Uma Jorullo Paradise with a local meal stop.
“Great experience! Nice views. Roberto was a great your guide. Hot springs stop was a good thing to have mid tour. Would recommend!!!”
Ride ATVs from Puerto Vallarta into the Sierra Madre, enjoy Río Cuale views, swim at a seasonal waterfall lagoon, and finish with tequila tasting.
“Everyone was very friendly and it was fun to cruise around and see more of the town, but it wasn’t at all an adrenaline packed experience. They wanted you to stay incredibly close to the person in front of you in a single file line the entire time (honestly, too close for comfort at times) at relatively low speed and then we stopped at 2 restaurants where they made it seem like you had to buy something. We spent way more time at random mediocre restaurants and way less time actually riding ATVs. The tequila tasting at the end was just in the back of their office. The tequila was…”
Ride a RZR through Rio Cuale and the Sierra Madre, swim at a waterfall lagoon, then enjoy authentic food and a tequila tasting.
“I ordered 3 RZR's on September 13,2025 at 1:30PM so all 3 couples could have a driving experiene .The problem we had was about 5 minutes into the ride one of our groups RZR's broke down. So our friends had to jump into another friends RZR and ride in the back seat. As we were waiting for the group to start moving again after the breakdown I personally asked Patty Voss the owners wife to make sure we would get a full refund for the RZR that broke down and she said yes I would. Later I found out that the owner Miles Voss said he would only give us…”
Rain-forest horseback to a waterfall and ATV rides through rural villages, with lunch and open drinks in Puerto Vallarta.
“Fun time! Horses and guides were great! There was a little issue with latecomers to the pickup point but our driver held fast to getting us to the Campo on time. Thank you Sergio and the entire staff for making it safe and enjoyable!”
Ride horses in the Sierra Madre from Puerto Vallarta, cross the 150m El Jorullo bridge on foot, and include water plus tequila tasting.
“It is a bit rocky most of the trip but the horses know what they're doing. Wear a bathing suit if you want to swim in the river. Recommend stable covered shoes and long pants.”
Escape Puerto Vallarta with a Sierra Madre horseback ride and zipline, plus lunch, drinks, and round-trip transfers.
“This was fun overall. The ride is slow and bumpy. The horse walk was basic and through a small town with lots of garbage laying around. The ziplining was great. Beautiful river and huge valleys to fly over. It was more primitive than many others but that made it pretty cool. Wear long pants. Wear shoes. Bring a change of clothes. Lunch was very good. Bring a couple bottles of water with you.”
Ride an ATV from Puerto Vallarta into the Sierra Madre on river trails, through local villages, and past Cuale River scenery with expert guides.
“Loved it. It was my first time. Our guides Charlie and Abraham gave all the required information to drive the ATV safely and properly while having fun. The terrain had a lot of dust so you will need a change of clothes after the activity is complete.”
Small-group birding day trip from Puerto Vallarta to the Sierra Madre highlands, with El Tuito and a Military Macaw Sanctuary visit.
“Absolutely fantastic! It was a great opportunity to see a good variety of different bird species. Cynthia was an excellent guide with great local knowledge. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone trying to add some new species to their list.”
