A brief ride through the history of tours in Puerto Vallarta
Long before Puerto Vallarta became a top destination for adventure seekers, it was a quiet coastal town where the only “tour” was a boat ride with a local fisherman or a hike through the jungle led by a curious kid. As tourism grew, so did the experiences — from scenic city strolls to adrenaline-pumping jungle rides.
Over the years the town evolved, but the heart of real adventure remained rooted in its nature and its people. That's where XRiders PV (Xiutla Riders EcoAdventures) comes in — born from a love of Puerto Vallarta's untamed beauty and a passion for sharing it the right way. Not behind a glass window or stuck in a big tourist group, but up close, raw and personal.
Ecotours, once a niche offering, are now a core part of exploring Vallarta. From jungle ATV rides to paddleboarding along secret beaches, the rise of private tours allowed travellers to ditch the crowds and discover a more authentic side of the bay.
Today, tours in Puerto Vallarta aren't just about sightseeing — they're about storytelling. And Xiutla Riders is proud to be part of that story. Every trail, wave and ride we share is a chapter in the bigger adventure of this town.
So whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned Vallarta fan, you're not just booking a tour — you're stepping into the history of a place that's always had adventure in its soul.
