    Great ATV excursion for very large group
    Communication was excellent! They accommodated our very large group and the guides were amazing keeping track of all of us. 😀 We started in the city and went to the sierra made mountains which was so beautiful. We stopped at one location to cliff dive and have some drinks and bite to eat. So refreshing! Second stop was for tequila tasting and more food at a cute spot by the river. We had such a great time and everyone had so much fun! 👍🏽👍🏽

    Absolutely brilliant!! Best way to explore PV!
    Augustina, our guide, was amazing! So friendly, energetic, and very knowledgable. The office was easy to find, bikes in good condition, and the team very helpful. Augustina introduced us to the history of PV and El Malecon and she was so passionate that we immediately felt a connection with the area. The bike tour was our activity the day we arrived in PV and it set the scene for an amazing adventure weekend. This is a must-do!

    So much fun and I learned a lot from Edson
    We met Edson in town and he drove us to a nice secluded beach with breaks for different level surfers. I surf sometimes and it was my wife's first time. We both had so much fun, I learned a lot that I can use back home to keep surfing. My wife caught waves and had a great time. Edson was flexible and worked with what we wanted to do, ended up driving to Sayulita after to have awesome tacos at a place he recommended. When I come back, I'm finding Edson to get back out there after working on my skills.

    Fantastic Day!
    We were lucky enough to have Jean Carlo as our instructor and he was a great teacher. My husband and i had a private lesson and we learned the basics and had some success. We are both in our mid 50's, and though we are physically fit, please know that the hike down to the beach with surf boards, is definitely strenuous and there are three wood 2X4 bridges that require a good amount of balance. We definitely plan to book surfing lessons again with Jean when we are back in Puerto Vallarta and want to check out the other excursions that Xiutla Riders offers. (Off road trips are a blast!)

    AMAZING
    I was so nervous being a first time rider and being in another country with narrow roads but 20 minutes into the ride and I began planning my next trip back to bring my teenage daughters. The views alone were breathtakingly stunning. Photos do NOT do this excursion justice in any way shape or form. At least ours didn’t, thankfully Erick rode ahead on his motorcycle and captured the most amazing shots of us in addition to watching for oncoming traffic on the roads ahead. Martin was super patient and both of them were such a pleasure to have as our guides. We did so many activities on this vacation but we both agreed that this excursion was hands down the absolute best of our trip & we’ll leave with awesome memories. We took the El Eden route, tried some amazing tequila and had lunch in the jungle. Being able to not worry about trying to capture our own photos really let’s you live in the moment. Thanks so much Martin & Erick!

    Franco is the man!
    Franco was as good a tour guide as I could ever hope for. Super cool guy. Started us slow on the ATV's and once we felt comfortable he got us moving so it was both fun and safe. He had the perfect blend of talking/explaining and also allowing us our own private chill time. He let explained the area to us and also let us decide how much of each different type of thing we wanted to do. 11 out of 10

    Totally rad experience
    We had a fantastic time surfing with Xiutla Riders. J.C., Edson, and Fernando were excellent teachers: patient, enthusiastic, and chill. Their passion for the sport and the waves was contagious. We learned a lot in one afternoon and all managed to get up and ride a wave despite being beginners. Overall a truly professional and fun operation. I can’t imagine a more ideal scenario for my first time surfing. Really looking forward to reconnecting with the crew on our next trip to PV. Muchas gracias mis amigos!

    AMAZING ALL AROUND!
    If you are looking for an ATV tour while in PV this is THE place. The scenery on this trip was absolutely amazing whether it was in the city or once we got into the jungle. Everybody at the central location prior to the trip was awesome! Our guide, Edson, was SO SO SO informative, kind, and couldn’t have made it a better excursion! Would highly recommend getting the picture album and video as well, because it’s a trip we will never forget. We will 100% do this again if and when we come back! -Mark

    Franco - the amazing tour guide with Xiutla Riders Ecoadventures.
    Franco, our ATV tour guide was amazing! He was very patient with us and explained every little detail of all the spots he took us too. He never hurried us from spot to spot, and had his smile the entire tour. My wife, son, and I enjoyed it so much. I highly recommend Xiutla Riders Ecoadventures.

Absolutely one of THE BEST ways to enjoy classic Puerto Vallarta by land. All vehicles are in good condition with bilingual guides who are leading/following/protecting you the whole way. Quick drive thru quaint village neighborhoods and then following a river up into the mountains. We had an amazing storm the night before which washed all the ‘dust’ off the roads, and gave us some great puddles to plow thru if we chose to do so. Cecilia and Marco were our guides, along with Cesar as our ‘paparazzi’ for the whole trip. They truly looked after us like family and made sure each of us were in/on the proper vehicle based on our experience. It’s easy to
question tours in a foreign country without a personal recommendation, but this team made us feel very comfortable.
The halfway point led us to a family run restaurant and tequila tasting experience, with delicious food and cocktails and amazing views of the river and waterfalls. Our guides took some group pictures with our phones as our paparazzi moved on to another group once we were at the halfway ‘rest stop’.
Upon finishing our meals, we made the trek back thru the mountains and villages. Cecilia and Marco would occasionally stop and tell us when to switch gears, as well as encourage us to ‘have some fun’ and enjoy the ride.
Once returned back to the start point, Cesar had all our photos uploaded for us to view and either choose individual pics and videos, or option to buy them all which will be delivered via email within a few days.
10 out of 10- this tour was so enjoyed by a bunch of 50 year old girlfriends, but we all agreed our spouses and children would love this activity too!

We got a 4 hour ATV adventure in the Sierra Madres with the best guide ever. Agus was not only knowledgeable about the area, she showed us cool places, and surprised us with a stop at the end overlooking the entire city of Puerta Vallarta. The ATVs were super easy to use under Agus' instruction. One of the best days we spent on vacation.

Let me start by saying this was a good tour and we enjoyed it and our guide, Agus, was excellent. The photographer, Roberto, did a great job with the photos. However, it was not as the advertisement states and we were expecting more. We wish we would have been better informed as to our options, so there was a bit of disappointment. We never went downtown or cruised along the Malecon, but took back roads through the town and drove up a dirt road to a bar at a family ranch (not deep in the jungle) where we had drinks, a tequila demonstration and sales pitch, and ate a very expensive lunch. We were not told that if we chose to stay for a bit there that the rest of our tour would be riding back down the road to town. We never went up rugged jungle trails, splashed across rivers (or had the chance to swim in one), drove through outlying villages, or saw a view over Puerto Vallarta. If we had been better informed, we would have opted out of the ranch and had more riding time. I would recommend this tour for someone who wants to ride an ATV up a dirt road to an outdoor bar and eat lunch (enjoyable), but not to someone who wants to ride on jungle trails and swim in rivers, as that is not on this tour. I will add that the price quoted for the lunch, the tequila and the pictures were less than what actually converted onto our credit card. I would recommend paying the peso cash price and not using your credit card.

Hi Joelyn! How are you? This is Agus, let me start by thanking you for choosing our company for your holiday activities and hoping you enjoyed your overall stay in PV :) I'm a little confused about certain things you mentioned in the review and in the following lines I'll tackle those topics as thoroughly as possible. To start with, if you check the tour description you'll see that we don't offer riding along the Malecón, and the choice of the backroads in the city was in order to keep you guys the safest possible by avoiding heavy traffic and jams (for as you know, it's very busy this time of the year). Also, the dirtroad (Vallejo Mountain) that we drove up to is part of the Sierra Madre mountains: in order to get there, outlying villages can't be missed for there's only one road possible, which was the one that we took, slithering the Cuale river before going up the mountain. In contrast, i'm sorry that the trails didn't meet your expectations, but please bare in mind that we are in dry season and, consequently, rivers have less water and the scenarios are more brownish, that's something that's beyond our control :( However, if you'd like to see PV in its full splendor, I suggest you to visit the city in rainy season (between May and November)... I'm sure you'll love it! Another important thing to clarify is communication, because when we got to the ranch, before the person in charge of the ranch took you in for the activities, I recall mentioning you guys about the river and the natural pools in the facility. I apologise if I wasn't clear enough on that and other matters and this will be improved in the following tours for sure. Finally, let me remind you that we only do private and customised tours, therefore it's a personalized experience and by no means you're forced to engage in activities that you don't want to do or to buy things that don't meet your price expectations. Being that said, both the ranch and the photograpy company are different businesses which set up their own prices. In all, thank you very much for your comments, because it's a leaning experience that will make me and my peers grow and improve our services. Best regards!

We did this trip on 1/10/2023, and our guide was Martin, and he was excellent. He did a great job of keeping an eye on our group and making sure we were staying together and then also giving us information about the area. There were four of us, and we each choose the option to drive our own ATV's since we are experienced riders. The cool thing about this trip is that you had the opportunity to ride in both the mountains and the city streets so you were able to see a lot of areas.

We did the 9:00AM start time which was nice. The trip takes you to a local restaurant tucked away in the mountains with the opportunity to do a tequila tasting and you can also eat or just have a drink. Food and beverage here is not included. We stopped there early on in the ride so we weren't too hungry after breakfast.

The ATV ride took us to see some beautiful mountain views and the trip has a photographer that rides with you and gets some great shots. You can buy a single photo or a package of all the pictures which is what we did. They were great pictures. The ride also took us along the city streets, where you could see local living.

I would recommend this trip.

I selected this copy based on price and they only do private tours. I find them on the street and spoke with Juan. His professional service and fair price causes me to book a trip for a party of 4 with all single riders. Our tour guide Cecilia was great and so was her female colleague (can’t recall her name). They made the adventure fun but most importantly safe! We had 2 riders that were doing this for the first time and they both loved it and said they always felt safe and want to do it again. Will definitely go back to this company and take the longer tour.

AMAZING tour!!! I loved that each group has a private guide so you feel very supported and can go at your own pace. We were given options for the tour, and followed the normal plan where we stopped at a ranch for tequila tasting and a snack. Agostina was our guide, she was so sweet and patient with me (my second time on an ATV, but my husband grew up riding dirt bikes and ATVs). We saw 2 groups of riders from another tour company, and were so happy we booked this private tour. The cost was similar, but they had 10-15 riders per group. I was way more comfortable in this private setting as I could always see Agostina's hand signals and I knew what was going on. The views of PVR and the river were fantastic! We will definitely book a longer tour for our next trip to Puerto Vallarta to visit El Eden. The photos were fun (and not insanely overpriced) - our son loved seeing them when we got back. Thanks for wonderful day!

We booked a private ATV tour with Xiutla Riders on May 11, 2023. Edson was our guide and it was the best full three hour ATV experience! The ride started from their shop and while there was some traffic to negotiate on the way out of town, Edson kept safety top of mind and we never had any problems. It was interesting riding along the cobblestone streets before traversing the countryside, passing livestock and taking in mountain scenery. We also stopped to rest at a restaurant that had a full bar and tequila tasting before continuing up the twisting and dusty dirt roads. After leaving the country side, we also stopped at a lighthouse with an entire view of the bay. We would definitely recommend Xiutla Riders as a great tour operator for an ATV ride! Ask for Edson!!!

This tour far exceeded our expectations! The staff was not only welcoming and professional but the tour made our trip! Riding through the city was fun but what blew us away was getting to the jungle and taking in the beauty of the scenic skyline. Marco was the tour guide and took time to let us take in each moment, take pictures and let us in on some of the local treasures. We appreciated it all and would highly recommend making this a stop!

We booked this trip as an excurion off of our cruise ship and it was absolutely amazing. Edson was our tour guide and was absolutely phenomenal for the entire trip. We started off with a safety briefing and how to use the ATV and he took us through the city so we could really explore and see Puerto Vallerta. We then went up the mountain and had lunch and did a delicious tequila tasting (which we ended up buying one of the better bottles of tequila I've had). We then did some more tours of the mountain and finished at an old lighthouse with a great shot of the bay.

Brando also worked as our photographer and was truly a Ninja! He got some absolutely amazing shots and we certainly purchased the package for $60 USD at the end of the day.

Would absolutely recommend to anyone who travels to PV.

Definitely an experience you do not want to miss! Check-in was extremely easy and we were on our way. Our guides were extremely cautious getting us out of the busy city safely. Our off-roading experience was solid but not too taxing. The stops were not regulated in time but instead allowed us to decide how much time we wanted to spend and they adjusted our route based on our preferences. Throughout the whole trip there was a photographer that was dedicated to just taking pictures of our trip. The whole photo collection is available to purchase at the end of the trip (I highly recommend you do ... they include photos not just of you riding but also a separate folder that includes ~100 pictures of your route so you can go back and see the things you saw as you were riding along. Would definitely rent again!
