Please note that Sayulita is a 1 hour taxi or 1:30 hour bus ride away from the PVR airport.

We suggest either taking a Taxi or Bus from the airport, you can also rent a car but please note that the city of Sayulita is very walkable and a car would only be used to get to and from the airport.

Another option is to hire a private driver, which may be more expensive than a Taxi but usually covers your return trip as well. If you would like to do this, please reach out to TJ or Colleen for details.

TAXI FROM PUERTO VALLARTA AIRPORT TO SAYULITA

If you decide to just take a taxi from Puerto Vallarta Airport to Sayulita then you actually have two options:

Take an airport taxi (and pay anything from $2000 pesos or $100 USD and up) you book the taxi from inside the airport and the prices are fixed. (I haggle with multiple different cab drivers and companies until I get down to around $700 pesos).

Exit the airport, cross the highway, and flag a taxi down the price should be around $700 -$1000 pesos… but this may depend on your Spanish skills, or lack thereof!

The airport taxi drivers are most likely going to speak some English, the drivers you get on the street are unlikely to, but you might get lucky. Either way, make sure you have the address written down so you can pass it to the driver if you don’t speak Spanish. If you flag down a taxi from across the street then you will need to have pesos on you. There are plenty of cash machines in the airport and they are safe to use.
