About this activity

Combine mountain adrenaline with coastal culture on this full-day adventure from Puerto Vallarta: ride quad bikes through jungle terrain to panoramic mountain vistas, learn traditional raicilla production at an authentic family distillery, then unwind on Yelapa's secluded beach with fresh seafood. This tour skips the tourist script and delivers genuine Jalisco hospitality.

This tour combines the best of the coast and the mountains in a single authentic experience, far from traditional sightseeing.
The adventure begins by boat : To reach Yelapa you only access it by sea, so from the beginning you feel you are heading to a hidden paradise.
Postcard-view Quad bikes: We drive 1 hour into the mountain on terraced paths through the jungle. Yes, you're going to get powdered, but the reward is the panoramic views of the entire Bay of Flags. It's pure adrenaline with amazing scenarios.
The authenticity of the “3 Man” Tavern: This is not a show for tourists. It is a family and rustic tavern in Chacala where they show you the real process of root : from how they select agave, to fermentation and artisan distillation.
The perfect closure in Yelapa: After the adventure, we return to Yelapa. Beach, fresh seafood and, river permitting, a waterfall getaway. It is the ideal balance in yelapa “Paradise on Earth”.
