We had a great time on this tour. The Sun Buggy is a cute vehicle. It was much easier to view the surroundings than in a tour van or bus. Chistian was an excellent guide and his 2 employees certainly helped. At each stop they would move the cars around so we were ready to head to the next location. We really enjoyed going to the Botanical Garden. We love seeing (what for us are house plants) the tropical plants growing where they should. Seei ng Los Arcos from the road and then up close on a boat was fun. The tequila tasting is always interesting. Lunch was excellent. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour.

Funnest trip & Exceeded our expectations! We got to the location in Puerto Vallarta which is a couple blocks north of the beach & met our tour guide Christian. He let us choose our buggy & then we filled out the required papers until the departure time; the office was very clean & had Air conditioning & Banos. After the others arrived Christian gave us a "Safety Brief " so we would know what when & how to keep the group together. Once we started out, the Fun began; our itinerary was Perfect! It was a full day & once outside of the city, the roads were very twisty which made the drive very entertaining. Our 1st stop was short & overlooked the ocean and then onto the next stop which was a Botanical garden; the Time flew by. The next stop was for a Tasting & tour of a local distillery which was very refreshing. We had lunch next & the food was delicious. Our final stop was a chance to get out on the water for swimming/snorkeling. It was an Amazing Day. My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and I will tell anyone to YES, go to SunBuggy for your Tour!!
Chris and his crew are fabulous. He made this outing a delightful adventure. He's very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Great experience doing the tour! I definitely feel like we got great value for what we received. The tour guides were great and friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
We had a great day ! The drive was a lot of fun. Lunch was amazing and Chris was fantastic!! Recommend it highly !!! Steve and Amy thanks again!!!
Make sure you have money for shopping and the flea market, tipping and drinks at the restaurant and botanical gardens. And of course the friendly fun tours guides. Wear your sunscreen and glasses.
The 4 of us had a blast! Highly recommended! Make sure there is at least one in your group that can drive a standard transmission. No complaints, everything about this trip was awesome! The Botanical Gardens, the Tequila Tasting, Lunch, and Snorkeling. Chris was the best leader with great energy. There were 7 other cars and everyone had fun.
We booked this tour for our first trip to Puerto Vallarta and were arriving via cruise ship so our time in port was limited. Our trip was also shortly after the cartel violence, so we were a bit nervous to begin with however the tour guides were very friendly and helpful and at no time did we feel unsafe. The botanical gardens were beautiful; the tequila tasting was delicious - definitely try the chocolate! The restaurant food was amazing and fresh and the terrace had a beautiful view of the ocean. Snorkeling was fun; we saw a lot of colorful fish and the captain took us past the site of the film Blue Iguana. The captain had his two young sons on board helping and learning the business. In fact, every stop was family owned and run (except the botanical gardens.) Overall, the cost of the trip is well worth the tour value and the chance to see old town PV and some of the countryside in such a short time was priceless. Book it - you won't be sorry!
This tour was so much fun! The cars are super fun and make for a nice breeze in this hot weather. The guides are super friendly, helpful, good energy! The stops are great. We really enjoyed the Botanical Garden and the food at the lunch stop was delicious and the view was amazing! We went out on the boat ride to Los Arcos and that was great. We could see the fish from the boat. This tour is a great way to see and experience PV! We had a really fun day!
We had an amazing time riding the buggy around town, the lunch was delicious and snorkeling was fun, it was our first time snorkeling and I highly recommend them. Great tour guide too.
