Fantastic tour of Puerto Vallarta
Our guide Cervando was amazing. He gave us a great overview of quite a few colonias (neighborhoods) in Puerto Vallarta including Marina Vallarta, 5 de Diciembre, Centro and Zona Romantica. He also gave us a tour of a local market in 5 de Diciembre near where he grew up...including fresh tortillas and salsa. He is very knowledgeable about the city as he is native resident. He is a very safe driver and gives you the option to tailor your tour to your liking, if there are specific sites and areas you would like to see. He also gave us suggestions for various street vendors and restaurants to try while we are here.

Amazing Experience - Ask for Pablo! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an absolutely wonderful experience! Our guide, Pablo, and our boat captain, Ricardo, were both excellent. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the area and shared so much interesting information about the wildlife, birds, plants, and everything we were seeing along the way. From beginning to end, they made us feel like we were their number one priority.I was personally pretty nervous about getting into the water. I’m not someone who typically goes very far into water when I can’t see the bottom and add nighttime AND a cave to that, and I was definitely a little freaked out! 😂Pablo was incredibly patient, encouraging, and reassuring. He told me he would stay right beside me, and he absolutely did. I never felt pressured, and once I decided to get in, he made sure I felt safe the entire time. He was also constantly looking out for everyone else in our group while we were in the water. Because of his encouragement, I was able to experience something I probably would not have done otherwise and I’m so glad I did! It was such a cool experience, and everyone had an amazing time.Pablo’s care didn’t end when the tour was over either. He made sure arrangements were taken care of for each couple in our group and that everyone had a safe way to get back to their hotel.We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. If you have the opportunity, definitely ask for Pablo! He truly went above and beyond to make the entire experience safe, fun, informative, and memorable. And a huge thank you to Ricardo as well for taking such great care of us on the boat!

Puerto Vallarta City Tour with a Visit to our Adventure Park

Great day with Raul and Hector!
The trip didn't get started on the brightest of notes when our guide Rail notified us that Downtown will be closed due to it being the independence day. It wasn't his fault, but we were excited to tour downtown and walk the Malecon. But they took us a different church when we told us we were excited to go to our Lady of Guadalupe church and accommodated us every turn. Hector was very funny and it was a great duo keeping us company and explaining everything. Highly recommended. Beautiful drive to the restaurant and the food was fabulous. Didn't even know there were going to be animal showings and we enjoyed that immensely. We got lucky with our guide and driver and hope this is just the standard experience for all to enjoy.

Vallarta Botanical Garden and Tequila Tasting from Puerto Vallarta
561alexiar, Sep 2026
Great experience overall
Included very nice hike(optional), moderate difficulty for average person. Trails were slippery but very clearly marked. Garden was extremely beautiful. Guide was amazing, photographer very good. Tequila was very good, a little pricerier than expected for the optional purchase. Lunch was delicious but if not choosing the lunch included menu be aware you will be forced to get food at the same restaurant(pretty pricy as well compared to other restaurants in town) due to remote location.

We had such an amazing time on our boat trip in Puerto Vallarta! 🌊☀️ Everything was perfect from start to finish, and the experience was even better because of the incredible crew.A huge shoutout to Cesar and Antonio! They were so friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone was having a great time. They went above and beyond to make the day fun, comfortable, and memorable. You can really tell they love what they do and genuinely care about their guests.The views were beautiful, the atmosphere was so much fun, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. If you’re visiting Puerto Vallarta, I 100% recommend booking this boat trip — and if you get Cesar and Antonio as your crew, you’re in for an amazing time! 🥂🌴🛥️Thank you guys for making our trip so special!

Great half day Macaws and waterfall

El Nogalito Mountain River- Hiking Tour

Great half day Macaws and waterfall
Our tour was a really special experience! We went to a macaw sanctuary and learned about conservation efforts to protect and re-populate the indigenous macaw population. We saw a total of anout 30-35 nesting birds, in pairs and family units. It was inspiring to say the least! After the macaws, we had an amazing breakfast at a tiny restaurant where we were treated like family. After breakfast we hiked a trail up along a small river. At the top we found a beautiful waterfall and lagoon, where we swam for an hour or so in the crisp clear river water. It was so refreshing! During the entire half day together, Curiel was a constant source of happy banter, interesting information about the local environment and people. Being a local, or “Pata Salada” he certainly knows his way around. I highly recommend his tours!

Sayulita & San Pancho: Private Day Trip from Puerto Vallarta
ramonamT2037EQ, Jul 2026
Our day with Obi Tours
Our day with Obi Tours was one of the absolute highlights of our week in Puerto Vallarta!We booked the private Sayulita and San Pancho tour for our group of six, and from the moment Obi and Elizabeth picked us up in their clean, comfortable, air-conditioned van, we knew we were in good hands.Throughout the day, they shared so much knowledge about Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and the places we visited. Their passion for what they do really shines through, and they made every stop interesting and enjoyable.One of our favorite surprises was a stop at a roadside fruit stand where they had arranged a tasting of several local fruits. It was such a fun experience that we never would have found on our own.The tequila tasting was another unforgettable part of the day. It was entertaining, informative, and honestly featured the best tequila we’ve ever had! We learned so much and had a great time.In Sayulita, they took us to a wonderful beachfront restaurant before giving us free time to explore the town at our own pace. We also loved visiting beautiful San Pancho.One of the most thoughtful touches was that Elizabeth took photos throughout the entire tour—both candid and posed—and shared them with us afterward at no extra charge. It allowed us to simply enjoy the day while knowing the memories were being captured.What really sets Obi Tours apart is that this didn’t feel like a typical tour. It felt like spending the day with two wonderful people who genuinely love sharing their home and culture with their guests.If we’re fortunate enough to visit Puerto Vallarta again, we’ll absolutely be booking another tour with Obi and Elizabeth. They offer several different experiences, and we can’t wait to see more of the area with them.Thank you both for making our vacation so memorable. We highly recommend Obi Tours to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and truly personal experience in Puerto Vallarta!

There are a lot great and fun things coming to PV and Obi Tours will be a great addition to any vacation plans! They had great energy and attitude. They were able to answer our questions and provide a safe and comfortable travel experience. They even gave us a small cake as a gesture to a birthday we were celebrating! Highly recommend Obi Tours!

Thanks Dani & Ricardo!
Our guide Dani and our boat captain Ricardo were the best. We were supposed to be a group of 5, but the other 3 people never showed up so my wife and I basically had a private tour. Dani and Ricardo were very friendly and they did an awesome job of taking care of us at every part of the trip. It was the highlight of our stay thanks to them and we would absolutely do it again. Next time we’re bringing our whole family and asking for Dani and Ricardo.

We highly recommend the Company and, in particular, Cervando, for anyone looking knowledgeable, professional, and person
Our experience with the tour was exceptional, largely due to our outstanding driver and guide, Cervando. He is highly professional, knowledgeable, and knows Puerto Vallarta like the palm of his hand. What made the tour particularly valuable was the opportunity to experience both the modern, popular tourist areas and the less-touristy, more authentic parts of Puerto Vallarta. The contrast between these areas provided a unique perspective and made the tour much more interesting and memorable. Cervando was accommodating, attentive, considerate, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire experience. His professionalism and local knowledge greatly enhanced the tour.

If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable experience in Puerto Vallarta, this is the tour to book. We wanted something beyond the typical tourist excursion, and this exceeded every expectation. From snorkeling in beautiful, crystal-clear water to exploring hidden spots you would never find on your own, every part of the day felt like an adventure.What really made the experience exceptional was our guide. He was incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area.The entire day had such a local, off-the-beaten-path feel, which is exactly what we were hoping for. We never felt rushed, and every stop felt unique and special.This was easily one of the highlights of our trip and truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I would recommend this tour without hesitation to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta who wants an authentic adventure and memories they’ll never forget.
