Vallarta Botanical Garden: Private Day Trip of Flora & Fauna
Overview
Our Botanical Garden Private Tour is a peaceful escape into the lush Sierra Madre, designed to feel like your own personalized retreat. Unlike crowded group tours, this private experience is tailored entirely to your pace and interests, guided by a certified local expert who brings the beauty of Vallarta’s jungle to life through stories, history, and deep cultural insight.
You’ll explore one of Mexico’s most celebrated botanical gardens at your leisure, learning about native plants, traditional uses, and spotting local wildlife like hummingbirds, butterflies, and exotic birds along the way.
On the way back, we can stop for an optional tequila tasting or enjoy a meal at a scenic jungle-view restaurant or local eatery, giving you an authentic taste of Mexico beyond the tourist trail. With knowledgeable guide who treats you like family, this tour offers the perfect balance of nature, culture, and personal attention — making it one of Puerto Vallarta’s most memorable experiences.
