Puerto Vallarta → Sayulita: key facts

Getting from Puerto Vallarta Airport (PVR) to Sayulita takes about 40 min by car on an empty road (40–50 min in heavy traffic) over 53 km via MEX 200D and MEX 200. Our private transfer costs €120 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €170 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals area of the main passenger terminal, after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Sayulita is a small surfing village on the open Pacific coast north of Banderas Bay, about 50 km from the airport by road. The usual route runs north on Highway 200 into Nayarit and joins the Las Varas to Puerto Vallarta toll motorway (MEX 200D), which crosses the forested hills behind the coast. The last stretch follows the old Tepic highway to the Sayulita turn-off. The motorway has a toll booth; the free road through Bucerías is slower.

The village centre is a few blocks of narrow streets between the main plaza and the beach, with guesthouses, cafes and surf schools. Many rental houses sit on the hills to the north and south, reached by steep, partly unpaved lanes. The streets near the plaza are often crowded and some are closed to cars, so drop-offs may be made at the edge of the centre. San Pancho, a quieter village, lies a few kilometres further north.

Public transport: The airport lists no direct public transport to Sayulita. Reaching the village by public transport means using regional buses on Highway 200.
