33 tours · €48–€688 per person · ★ 4.9
To help you choose a Puerto Vallarta private tour, we read every listing and kept 33 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices go from €48 per person for a guided bike ride to €688 per group for a yacht charter. For a private boat tour in Puerto Vallarta, the Los Arcos trips supply snorkeling gear for your time in the water.
Check the option before you book: the waterfall ATV trip charges collision insurance at registration; the Marietas snorkeling trip promising Hidden Beach access in its title lists that activity as a separate cash payment. Several yacht charters include food and an open bar but leave hotel pickup to you, so check the departure point before choosing. The best reviewed private tours in Puerto Vallarta come first below.

Choose South Shore Private Sightseeing Cruise for Los Arcos and Las Animas; start with Vallarta Private City Tour for a city overview with a driver and hotel transfers. For example, South Shore Private Sightseeing Cruise costs €616 per boat, rated 4.99 from 95 reviews. Vallarta Private City Tour costs €318 per group, rated 4.94 from 172 reviews. Lunch is extra on both. Divide the vehicle price by your party size.
On Sayulita & San Pancho, divide the vehicle price by your party size for a couple or family of four; Sierra Madre Rivers ATV is priced per person. Tours priced per person have a median of €109. Group prices apply to 17 of 33 listings, with a median of €590 per vehicle. For example, Sayulita & San Pancho: €309 per group, rated 4.96 from 184 reviews. Sierra Madre Rivers ATV with Tequila Tasting: €70 per person, rated 4.97 from 154 reviews.
Set aside half a day for a private outing; choose Full Day Private Sailing with Snorkeling when you want sailing to be the day's main activity. The median is 4 hours. Of 33 tours with a stated duration, 12 take up to three hours, 18 take over three and up to five hours, and 3 take longer than five hours. For example, Full Day Private Sailing with Snorkeling costs €740 per boat, rated 4.92 from 113 reviews. Divide the vehicle price by your party size.
Start with private cooking classes marked as accepting strollers and infants for an outing with a baby. That flag does not establish the age for joining the cooking. 12 of 33 private tours are marked as accepting strollers and infants, including 2 of 2 cooking classes. For example, Chef Manu's Private Cooking Class at Home costs €108 per person, rated 4.97 from 94 reviews. The filter does not establish child fares or child-seat provision.
Budget for lunch on the South Shore cruise and port entry on Los Arcos snorkeling; booking privately does not make every meal or fee part of the price. For example, South Shore Private Sightseeing Cruise costs €616 per boat, rated 4.99 from 95 reviews; lunch is extra. Private Snorkeling Tour to Los Arcos costs €394 per boat, rated 4.98 from 62 reviews; gear, water and life jackets are included, but port entry is extra. Divide the vehicle price by your party size.
For hotel pickup, start with private city tours: Vallarta Private City Tour includes a driver/guide and hotel transfers. Hotel pickup is listed for 4 of 33 private tours, including 3 of 6 city tours. For example, Vallarta Private City Tour costs €318 per group, rated 4.94 from 172 reviews. Divide the vehicle price by your party size.
Choose the activity first for English or Spanish; for French or Italian, start with the language filter because it narrows the listed private tours. For example, Puerto Vallarta ATV Adventure lists English and Spanish and costs €100 per person, rated 4.96 from 1,132 reviews. French and Italian are listed on selected tours; confirm the guiding language for your chosen departure.
