Sayulita & San Pancho Day Trip from Puerto Vallarta with Tequila
Overview
Sayulita is the surf town everyone talks about, and San Pancho is the one locals keep to themselves. See both in one day, without renting a car or figuring out the highway.
Your bilingual guide tells the story of the coast as you head north along Banderas Bay. First stop: a family stand of traditional Mexican sweets to taste. Then explore San Pancho, a relaxed village of art, surf and a long golden beach. Next, a ranch just outside Sayulita welcomes you for a tequila tasting, with its restaurant right there if you want lunch. Then the afternoon is yours: two hours of free time in Sayulita to walk the main square, browse the shops, watch the surfers or take a lesson.
No surprises, upfront: pickup is between 7:40 and 11:00 am depending on your hotel, and you're back around 5:45 pm. Lunch and drinks are paid at the ranch restaurant, so bring some cash. Sayulita and San Pancho are on the same time as Puerto Vallarta.
