Sayulita Mountain Biking Tour Experience

The contrast of village energy + jungle serenity + ocean breeze makes this experience unique and unforgettable.
Along the way, there is a chance to spot wildlife such as iguanas, tropical birds, butterflies, and even coatis if we are lucky.
Our final stop is a quiet, untouched beach — peaceful, natural, and usually empty to enjoy all to ourselves. If sea conditions and group rhythm allow, you may have time to swim in the ocean. Your guide will decide this based on safety and weather.
We’ll make our way back to the starting point with a few photo and fun stops along the way!
