We had a private couples lesson for stand up paddle boarding. Our instructor, Augustina, was very lively, encouraging, and a great listener. She really looks out for her customers. She was very experienced with stand up paddle boarding. She gave us a nice introduction to technique prior to entering the water. When entering and exiting the water, she took the lead and made me feel like I could trust her, even though there were some large waves in the ocean. And during the lesson, she was able to adapt to my level of skill as a beginner, to make sure I was keeping up and having fun at the same time. Afterwards I was blown away at the fact that the company made a beach chair & umbrella reservation at a nearby beach club, based on an phone inquiry I made a few days prior to the lesson. Originally I was expecting the instructor to just point me in the direction of a beach club. I was pleasantly surprised at the instructor Augustina guiding me to my umbrella & table before leaving us on our own to enjoy the rest of our afternoon at the beach. I highly recommend Xiutla tours for people learning to do stand up paddle boarding!

We had the pleasure of going stand up paddle boarding with JC. It was our first time trying it and JC was a great guide. It was a calm morning and we paddled down the scenic Malecon. We saw a sea turtle swimming around! JC was prompt, professional but fun and energetic. I would recommend this excursion!

We booked our lesson through a 3rd party on the phone wanting to go out on the water immediately because we were already down on the malecon. They called JC's shop and got us out on the water within the hour. JC was an amazing instructor, explaining the ins and outs of the board and strategies for actually standing up. We had been SUPing before on our own and neither of us had ever actually stood up without immediately falling back into the water. JC was SOOOO patient and encouraging with my wife and I and quickly both of us were standing up and paddling, having a blast! We will definitely be booking with Xiulta Riders when we return to Puerto Vallarta again.

Booked two paddle boards online for a week in PV to be delivered to our hotel. Fernando was better than his word -delivered them as arranged on time with professionalism and great service. he’s a congenial guy who loves sports and goes the extra mile to make sure you do. Highly recommend!!! Go to the marina to board if you like flat water. Highly recommend them for any activity!

Stopped in PV on a cruise. Did the paddle boarding with Humberto. Had a blast! Would definitely recommend! Because it is open water, I would recommend for those more willing to have fun, laugh at themselves when you fall in, and who wanta slightly more challenging experience. It is the most fun paddleboarding I have ever had because of the waves, but it was also the least easy. Humberto was a perfect guide, encouraging us to do it however we were most comfortable. He shared some fun things about the city, but I missed most of what he said bc we were the 2 in the back who kept falling in. It was a BLAST.

If you are traveling on a cruise ship, know that the taxi from the boat to the shop was $5 each. On our way back we took an Uber (!!) And it was $6 total. Next time we would open the Uber app and just hail an uber outside the terminal and save a lot of the money.

JC was the best instructor anyone could ask for (even tho we didn’t ask lol).. he’s an absolute blessing.. very understanding of how scared I was to actually stand up and he spoke very encouraging, kind words.. the instructions were very simple.. the excitement he has for his job shows.. my husband and I had a wonderful time! We’ll be back.. I’ll be able to swim next time :)

We had a great time on the paddleboards. JC very clearly explained everything we needed to know on the beach beforehand, so we were able to get up on the boards quite easily. He kept us company during our voyage down the Malecon, pointing out the landmarks and answering our questions about Mexican culture. Overall a memorable experience that we'll probably repeat next time we're in town!
